Alas, Storynexus...

I just tried to log onto Storynexus after a good number of months of not doing so, and was quite saddened to notice that they have removed the "Create Your Own World" button that was the front door into the author tools.  Storynexus allowed authors to create choice-based quality-driven card-drawing epics with a limited version of the tools Failbetter Games used to create  Fallen London (née Echo Bazaar.)   If you've played those, or perhaps one of its ugly step-relatives ( Kingdom of Loathing or Legends of Zork ) you might be familiar with the style of narrative presented in increments which limits play to a doled-out number of actions that recharge slowly over time, or more quickly for a subscription or varying small fees.
