- Comment: Cool idea here. I was wondering if this is related to the Westworld franchise at all? BOZ (talk) 21:23, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks BOZ. None of the sources indicated or suggested that. One reviewer indicated that the designers probably drew from the Stand and Deliver PBM game. But it seems reasonable that they drew the title from the franchise, if not more. Airborne84 (talk) 01:16, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

'Run from prison'
editThe article makes this sufficiently important that it was the reason for being in DYK.
But it doesn't say why it was run from prison - was that where the designers were? Did they contract out the GMing? Something else? Lovingboth (talk) 17:28, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
