Gaiman's latest, a book of short stories called "Trigger Warning" which also came out this week contains a story using for its title a portion of the same kublai khan line as this lovely game! Coincidence? I think not! Well, actually, probably. But what fun is that?
I haven't read the story yet (it's called "Down to a Sunless Sea" so not quite the identical portion of the line)as I'm saving the book for when I finish the ones I'm reading now, but I couldn't help leafing through it and noticing that. I have described Fl before as a bit like if gaiman wrote videogames, so the convergence made me smile.

TBH, I used to think Fallen London was a Gaiman creation, before I learned otherwise. He has the same sort of dark yet whimsical, British style as FBG.

[True story: Frances and I were in the same tabletop gaming group(s), long ago and far away. I wrote FL before I'd read any of her fiction, but I think we probably share an influence or two. She is a much better writer, though, no lie.]
