Description:

Have you ever bought a commercial RPG, in which the author loosely
describes the history of the game world?  This game is one in which the
players play out the history of the entire game world, from its creation
to its destruction.  They each get seven characters (one of which will
become a legendary figure in the history of the world), or one character
for each age of the game world's history.  Future characters can refer to
the actions of the past characters, and in so doing the dead can become
role models for the living.  In this way, a player can alter the course of
the history of the game world, through the actions of their seven
characters.  One may make a change, but seven can change everything.
