Heya thanks for checking in and the kind words, as a general update on this quest for everyone I'm quite busier than I ever have been in my life, but this quest is far from over and I just need to start plugging away on an update when I have the energy and time (I also thought I was going to be...

Hello, just wanted to give an update on updates. I got a promotion at work, which would normally be good news, but it's tied to mitigating economic downturn for client accounts, so it's a bad omen for pretty much everyone (myself included). Also, I'll be busy through most of august with my new...

February 10th, 2020 Gotham City "Team 1 status, over." "Team 1 ready." "Team 2 status, over." "Team 2 ready." "Team 3 status, over." "Team 3 ready." "Team 4 status, over." "Team 4 ready." "Team 5 status, over." "Team 5, ready." "Team 6 status, over." "Team 6 ready." "All...

<There's a couple options, just indicate you're doing that specific manifest, then indicate what you want to see. For instance: Falling out between X character and X character, that time X character did X (as referenced by characters in the quest) etc etc. Just as long as you give me a general...

It's nighttime in Gotham. Skyscrapers rise up awash with lights. New architecture mixes with the old. Curving steel alongside gothic stone. The sky is overcast in a bright gray as it reflects the millions of lights below. Blimps drift lazily with flashing LED displays, and drones navigate...

So all cards on the table: My years of hobby writing boils down to 3 things- Interest, Impulse, and Intuition. These three I's guide everything I do. Interest determines everything. It's the reason behind my fast output and sudden pauses with every story I've ever written. It's extremely...

I know I said I'd take a vote but I cannot get the idea of side and backstories on the setting out of my head. It's honestly exciting to the point of being inspirational. SO. This is what I'm going to do. New thread, same world. First arc won't feature Dan as much, it'll mostly focus on what...

I've wrestled with this a bit. Now that I'm officially taking votes on a major quest change, I can say that amplifying power was increased by the number of communications. So if 2 people communicated the previous turn amplifying would go from 1d40 to 1d42, kind of symbolizing a strengthening of...

The option you voted for is basically the same quest just in a new thread and with fleshed out mechanics (and better pacing -this has never been my strong point fair warning, but dammit if I won't try- and hopefully a bit more in-depth exploration of Dan as a person). The other options will...

Incredible, I went back and re-read the bits of that quest I had saved during covid and was reminded how much of an absolute blast it was to write. Also thank you for linking that youtube account? I had thought I lost it and now I can go back and re-watch all my shitty powerpoint trailers for...

holy shit no way...no fucking way...(you'll have to tell me which character you were in that someday)

This and other responses are honestly a masterclass for me, and I am genuinely enjoying reading these (you and others have put it very eloquently, so thank you for that). I appreciate you having faith in some aspects, while also pointing out some very glaring weaknesses. I've typed and...

Thank you everyone for the support, it certainly means a lot and I appreciate the insight, and some of you have written wonderfully motivating messages that make the writing worth it. Akatsunami, this breakdown is fantastic, you've really laid out some blind spots and cut to the heart of some...

Yeah maybe railroading wasn't the right term for what I was actually trying to consider. I think maybe what actually gave me pause was my vision for the quest vs. what the players expected and wanted to see. That's the most ancient debate in fiction. But maybe it's more about character...

This is a fair critique, and I do want to apologize if players feel like I've destroyed hard work or investment in characters, but without giving the plot away, this is the low point, and everything is going to be working uphill from here. I can't say much about the time-skip, it was necessary...
