Where have all the heroes gone?

In your society, every child is given a fixed number of skill points for their parents to invest in talents that would determine their futures. When you reach age 21, you find out your parents forgot to do it for you.

“That explains a lot…” you say as you look at the skill trees. You imagine this is what it was like in the old days, your great great great grandparents looking through brochures for colleges. Your whole future in front of you; 23 skill points and no clue what to do with them. Applied correctly, you can change the world…

Okay, okay! I ordered the book. And possibly the fancy hardback that comes out in December.

It's here. I am four chapters in.

Everyone please reblog this post and add random comments! Gimmie a picture of your pets or something, I don't care. I just want a post to experiment with and poke at so I can fully understand this update.
