Midnight at the Well of Souls

Midnight at the Well of Souls is set primarily on a bizarre planet. A spaceship crew have discovered it. It seems to have had an advanced civilization, but left very few artifacts. There are some space ships explorations and some fighting and deaths. That is almost a sideshow to planet itself. There are a lot of ideas to explore. Sentient creatures can occupy many forms, from plant to animal. They may change and experience many different life forms. Some may look similar to what we know, but may be hermaphrodites or have other differences. The beings may not even be real, but just a projection from a central computer. There may be means for people to go out and have their own worlds. Things are never quite as they seem. Life can be different experienced in different times or in different bodies. The humble innocents may be more "blessed" than those fighting for power. There are a jumble of interesting ideas that sometimes seem to congeal into a story.
