Aleph | Todd Barton’s Aleph patch on the Shared System

Patch notes below! When I was creating part 17 of my Shared System tutorials, I used the Krell patch as a starting point. This legendary patch was originally created by Todd Barton, a huge source of inspiration and a true pioneer. I learned Mr. Barton also envisioned the Aleph patch, an abstract adventure that tries to find a balance between structure and chaos – all by itself. I tried to patch it on the Shared System, with no luck. But then I found a simplified version that was using Maths and here we are! I started with an approximation of the original patch, and then slowed it down with some help from Instruo Arbhar. (Morphagene is off to a 0-coast adventure, coming soon). I’ve asked Mr. Barton for official permission to use his voice and gear at the intro.
