So while death paints his units to assemble a most fearsome army, what do they talk about?

The rules? The lore? Something else?

Also did this person die or were they just present when death came to play someone else? Or did death watch them and think "hmm, this looks like a nice game. Let me just ask this mortal if they would explain it to me so I can suggest it to the next soul"?

So many questions and just one answer: Is there, perhaps, more of this to be found in a timeline soon to us? Because it reads great!

I did have quite a bit of fun writing it. Might write more if people are interested!

Yea, this is the most beautiful crossover I've ever seen! /u/SirPiecemaker edit

After I finished reading I started happily rocking back and forth just because I got to spend a few more moments with our dear Death.

Who's SirPeacemaker?

That guy's gotta be confused right now.

Goddamn it! I hate trying to get mentions right on the phone since there's no smooth way of writing while looking at the source...

Could you do a part 2 but with them actually battling? I'd love to read that!

I like to imagine he started with the rules but somehow ends up sidetracked telling death every last bit of lore there is.

Death was enthralled by the lore and missed the 15 years that went by.
