The sword you cannot draw
A character had two two-handed swords in his bag, and the game would not let him pick up either one. A look at how two rules, each sensible on its own, together locked away an item nobody could use.

How the game works inside — and why it works that way.
The hardcore run where nobody died
A player chose the mode where death is final, spent five turns in a row trying to die — and stayed alive. Why the Master would not kill him, and how the decision was taken away from it in the end.
Frogs, a smith and a truck
The game gained ambient sound. The hard part turned out not to be playback but a simple question: how do you tell something foreign in a recording from the thing the recording was made for?
Two men and a faceless woman
Two bugs in how the Master creates new characters turned up in one evening. They were fixed the same way, and the interesting part was not the prohibition but the question of where to send the refusal.
The smith who was not in the room
The game believed the smith was standing next to the hero. The smith was at his forge on the other side of the village. Why that happened — and why the cause turned out not to be the logic.
