I really doubt "I'd" give up exploration of a multi-verse after only 300 
years and only 3 worlds with space travel, I don't care how great Cidri is.
Speaking of Cidri, where's the space travel?
"Few traveled elsewhere - what need, when Cidri held all?"

4d demons are pretty neet.
My fingers extending through the plane of Flatland would look like 5 roughly 
circular sections seemingly independent of each other to A Square.
Kinda spooky stuff really... and I was worried about the dark lord escaping 
my gameuniverse and showing up here and taking all my notes and etc. 
pertaining to the gameuniverse so he was running it.

I'd agree as TFT seems to assume a clasic image of demon, horns tail and 
pitchfork.
Elseif how would folks recognize a demon to know how unlikely it is?
Of course, running with your idea of all demons are one then they almost 
certainly do not walk in the manner of 3d critters.

This is a good point, although I wouldn't think to charge for rules.

Wow! I was thinking a fame, fortune, happiness thing but it does read like 
that.
Not to mention that I'm pretty sure that I'm nuts.
