People are choosing Loremaster, not Markgraf, because it's familiar, comfortable, avoids politics that effect Mathy and can avoid jobs we dont want 'to break poor Mathy' etc.
its incredibly frustrating to me when there is a list of far more focused and plot-driven jobs just to keep the one that has no over-arching plot, just a list of half thought up small adventures. just so we can circle the safely drain.
even Waystone, the other stay in 'K8Ps' (mostly) option at least has an actual plot to it. a quest goal.
Loremaster(both), are literally, 'lets just hang around and wait for Boeny to come up with something we can do here, instead of grabbing the great plot points over there.)
there is no plot, just little adventures to hold while boney thinks up something.
(and then get sad when that 'thing to do' is a dwarf civil war,.)
I legitimately might quit the thread for awhile if Loremaster wins: just so I can let the frustration I've been having with the threads fear of leaving the mountains (e.g plot safely.) fade a bit.
