Nyx : "role-playing game, set in a darkened realm of sleep and dreams. It is an interpretive game, wherein the strange setting is only just barely glimpsed, like a dream half-remembered when one wakes from slumber. It is up to the players and the Dream Master (DM), to interpret the vague setting details as they see fit, and form a vision of Nyx wholly their own."

The Carpenter

A homeowner hired a carpenter to install a locking bolt for his door. But the carpenter installed it on the outside of the door, rather than the inside, meaning anyone could open the lock and enter.

The homeowner: "You must be blind!"

The carpenter: “It’s you who are blind.”

The homeowner, now angry: “Me? Why am I blind?”

The carpenter: “Why would you have hired me otherwise?”
