comment In Dictionary of Mu, does the end of an epoch mean game over?
Are you saying I should just go with my gut based on the sessions that produced 20 demon entries?

i.e. Let's say that one of the players kills Nimrote in his Kicker, rallying the prisoners. His dream is to make a city around black rock instead of just a death pit. The end of the epoch could be METEOR DESTROYS BLACK ROCK, right? That addresses the kicker by wiping out the site. But could the end of the epoch be a positive thing, like a fissure opening up and an enormous spring spilling up into the arena?

comment What were the driving factors in the falling out between Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax?
I see the question as falling under the history of the hobby; the hobby started very much tied up in peoples' personal relationships. Personal relationships between creative people were important in shaping the hobby in a very critical period.

Can you give an example of a kicker in play and a decent epoch-resolution?
