i came up with a very silly gimmick for Backgrounds in chanson that I am very pleased with because it coincidentally pairs very nicely with the six genres, so each background can give you familiarity with one of them. every time I crystallize a part of the game design it becomes less of a universal fantasy role-playing system (lol) and more of something very specific. and that kind of carving feels nice in a way; like any kind of writing, locking an idea in words freezes it to be one facet of its potential, but gives it weight, in the same way a flat square is more real than a depiction of a four-dimensional hypercube, despite being diminished version of the same potential thing.
