Introduction:
This is a hack on my friend's swordfighting system because I was intriqued by the themes present in Monsterhearts but didn't want the game and exploration
of those themes to be done through the medium of monsters and metaphors for the different issues and ways that people can be broken.

One Million Words aims to essentially be a "classless" and more human alternative to Monsterhearts, no one person is boxed in to focus on one specific issue or encouraged to only act a certain way through game mechanics.

This game was intended for exploring things like broken friendships, promises between people, societal and group expectations and pressure and all the
stupid and bad decisions that people make while trying to keep up with those things.

None of that however means it cannot be used for other types of games, disassembled and rebuilt for your own needs or even taken the interesting parts from only for them to be used in a completely different context.
Those, for one, are all things I did to put this thing together in the first place.
