For me, this is interesting, because in my game, there are many
posibilities at long term for an HeroQuest featuring a combat with
Your Own Shadow (in the evil sense?) in the SWORD Bridge that comes to
the Paradise, judged by Humakt.
At this moment, I have thought thay "Lies are burden" so I note when
the PC's make an important lie. Perhaps lies implies that the shadow
is more powerful or some other difficulty.
Anyway, the blade metaphor (walking the light or the dark side) evokes
me a sort of Sword Bridge that comes to the Paradise, so I will think
about it.
