I would love a two hour long conversation on the intricicies of ether.
-
Hm, You are right, but it's also impossible to get a good idea of for example: Who the hell are the Lion Knights and why should I care about them without having to read through at least two quests.
-
I would actually like something a bit more general, now that you mention it. Like "concepts" or something. Factions, locations, the value of gold, how magic and ether work. The traditional religion, the idea's of heaven and hell. Trade, Languages. Something like that, where everything that people might wonder, how does this fit in? Am I crazy in thinking we need lore for everything?

Weren't they Hound-men, or something?

Werewolf or wolfman or whatever Sandy's calling it, as, spoiler alert, the Wolfgang boss (Ulric Wolfkin or something)? is, is someone that is indeed just an anthropomorphic species, just permanently a wolf-man-thing. Lycan, and the Wolfgang Lieutenants, are not permanently a wolf (Am I right TBW?) They are lycantropes, or were-wolves in the more traditional sense. They can turn into a wolf, wether that be at will, when they are angry, at the full moon or a combination of those three. I know the lieutenants got their lycantropy from Ulric. But the point I want to make is that this really is Sandy's thing. I think Sandy should be the one to make it as he wants. We can't suddenly have two whole different stories about werewolves. I mean we can, but for contuinity's sake (continuity is awesome), we probably shouldn't.

Maurice got two shield rolls!

That's Sandy's territory. Also it's more of a disease/affliction than a race, really.
-
Ah, I see. I haven't created any actual races, I think, but I would love to help write if you need it.

So perhaps I am stupid, but what is the embassy for, exactly?

I like the article, the battle side is really well though out. Make your boss a real challenge, make him be hated by the party, or make him almost want the heroes to team up with him! While I like your philosophy on the boss-battle side of things, the reason I think end-bosses are such a great thing in all manner of things: Is when done right, they will be the most memorable thing in the medium. Pro tips: Build up is everything. Make your boss pop out every now and again to make fun of the party. For example: The people here that played Borderlands 2 know what I am talking about. Handsome Jack. Hands down best villain in a video game of the year (Far Cry 3's Vaas comes close from what I've seen of the game, haven't played it). The thing that made him great was twofold: One, his personality and voice actor were amazing, Two, he constantly pestered you throughout the whole game by sending you messages and stuff. It's really great. Make your villain pop out every now and again, make him remind the Heroes why they are against him, Zepher got this down with Wren. The parts where she gets in the Heroes heads, best parts of the quests for me. Seems strange, but I love that. And this does not need to happen every time, you should not be afraid to take your time. But if you want to set up a big bad villain, do the following: Give your heroes something that will give them reason to fight that villain (For example, Wren threw the heroes in a cage and made them fight each other and helpless orcs that would get oneshotted and stuff), and keep reminding the heroes of that. If you can succesfully pull that off, you will have a villain that will get your players from their chairs, they will want to get that shot at the villain in the next quest.

Guts should have restored 6 health because of Lifestealer "Don't ever question my tactics again." Guts again goes for the cart twice. Same battle order. -

"Your concern is endearing. But you mistake me for someone who cares. I know killing your kind as I know the back of my hand. You seem to have a grain of humanity left in that shell, lose that, and you lose your life. If you can call it that. When under my lead, you follow my orders. If you don't people might get hurt. Don't like that, it's better that you leave. This is not a democracy. Remember that." -

That website is not always great, and I did say I have found. I am certainly not ruling out he is town, but I would not be so sure on his word alone, and I do find it more suspicious as a jailkeeper than as a blocker. Yes, you brought that up earlier. A change of location can be unsettling and confusing to some, but if she displayed excellency there, and none of that here? Odd, yes. How can it not be used to handicap a team of villains, rather than the good guys? Again, MY personal experience says more scum than town, that may not be an actual representation of how things are, but there you go. I don't think so, to me it sounds like she's just being too careful, as a scum would be in this situation. What would happen if Walter is found innocent tomorrow? The first thing that happens is her accusers and blind followers of the lynch are going to be called out for it, if this is intended and perceived as you say, Katie is in a great position. I don't think there is a connection between Walter and Katie at all. What I do find interesting in this is that you are trying to lay that connection. Relax, we have more than enough time to reach a conviction. I just don't want to reach a conviction early and have the day ended like that, like yesterday. More talk is a good thing. For the town. Also some people may not have their lunches send in and that kind of stuff. I deleted half the Pm because I was first only going to respond to that part, but I saw the middle part had interesting stuff in it as well, sorry if it looks strange, Tammy. And it's not a PM, just a message, rather. -

I'm gonna Vote: Katie (Psykater) I am not opposed to Walter's lynch, the tangible fact that he was blocked, and there was no scum kill as far as we know, although I have severe doubts about this Jailkeeper, a jailkeeper is more often found in the hands of a scum, I have found. And he was worried Walter would have an easy way out? There is about as much chance for him being the kill target as for him being the target. I don't think he would be an impossible target for the scum to go for, if they were say scared of the MOST high profile people likely being protected or watched or whatever. But. I do not want the same scenario as yesterday where the day is ended before everyone can have their say, and potentially send their lunches in. Especially the Apple People, can potentially really find something out, which would be great. So don't forget to that before the voting ends! While a lynch is of course a good thing, we should not be too hasty, as the more time to talk, probably the best. Katie has been not been very helpful at all, I feel. Her posts today: While this is perhaps not false, she both fails to help the town herself in any way shape or form, and she does not try to resolve the issue that were at hand. Her other post was the one just now, which Oscar nicely analyzed. The conclusion we can pull from this is that Katie is not helping. She does not want to be seen as a sheep or flying under the radar, she says. I am sure that is true, but try harder. Confusion is a tool. Scum both sow it and feign it. A lot of standard scum tactics, which I normally would say do not cover everything, can be seen with Katie. The sheer number of the ones I can recognize makes me wonder if there is not some truth to them after all. Here goes: Confusion. Check. Summarizing. Check. Asks for confirmation on stuff already clear in thread. Check (Hey, Walter has this one too.) Pulls conclusions that may very well have another reason. Check. Acts helpful. Check. (Her first of two posts today). Promises she'll help more later. Check. (A common theme among people it seems, Billie is notorious for this as well, may not mean anything.) And that's just from her two posts today. I had a look over her posts from yesterday, and found the following: Post 1: OHMYGOD SOMEBODY IS KILLING X, WE MUST FIND Y SOON! Post 2: Roleplaying. Post 3: She asks Fred why he is so eager to vote, the fact that she is HESISTANT to vote is interesting, she calls Trisha out for being strange. That part was not wrong. Post 4: This is interesting. I will link it: So let's break this down. While I must say this is actually one of her least standardized scum behavioural pattern things, there is this: She immediately starts with saying she's innocent for the lie detector, which speaks in her favour, she was the third person to vote for Trisha at that point, apparantly because of clarification. That part's all good. The thing I'm not too sure about is the fact she tried to incriminate Fred. Now, a lot of things can be said about Fred. A LOT. But I also think he's town, very much so. What I think Fred would have done differently if he was scum? He probably would not have gone in a fight with me, he would also not have brought forward information that very well could be used against him. I think Fred's cool. While the theory she brought forward I would then have classified as not impossible, I think it is impossible. Fred's smarter than that. Maybe not smarter, but definitely sneakier. You know what I mean. Post 5: She basically said she does not have lunch. Which is very interesting. Could it be that the scum don't have lunch after all? We don't have evidence per se that they do, only assumptions of balance. She again tries to send suspicion over to poor Fred. Post 6: Summarizing, basically. Katie loves to summarize and to complain how things are too hard, too fast, whatever. (don't even think about it). I am not sure, I think unhelpful townie is still a distinct possibility, but so is dirty scum. Some clarifications, some insights and a response would be greatly appreciated, at the very least. -

I'd like to know how you got this information. From a tracker, or this jailkeeper themselves, or what? -

You still haven't explained what you would have determined if you'd lynch me and I would be scum? And what would you have found out when I come up town?
