What happens when you give a group of people, tortured by starvation and disease, plenty of food and medicine? They worship you, of course. In Triune, the Hegemony controls the weave–a combination of a replicator and the internet. If you are a citizen of the Hegemony, you can download things from thin air. While everyone
After a summer hiatus of playing games and drinking beer, we’re back to slowly working on Triune.

What happens when you piss off a faith? You suffer. All characters in Triune have three classes: one for Heaven, one for Hell, and one for the Hegemony. As you play the game, you can level up in any of the three classes–it’s your choice. However, it comes with a price. If you gain experience
Islam is a complicated faith, especially when you don’t practice it but want to comb it for super powers. In Triune, characters have kewl powerz called prayers that are tied to a specific faith.
