Don't lump Noctere in with me, that's not fair to him. I'm the bottleneck here, Noctere has nothing to do with it. I want to restate that things I'm saying here aren't a result of your personality or character. You're great to talk to, you're great to bounce ideas with, you're a great person with e...

Just had the urge to pop in and say something. So I'm not playing here actively anymore-- I don't plan on playing here actively anymore in the immediate future as a result of a few things. I figured in case anyone was curious, they could find out why here. I'll be concise and try not to be rambly or...

Good evening/morning all! Just had a quick suggestion, here. Nothing complicated, really. Just a thought I had while randomly musing on abilities. I don't think these are *needed*. But they'd be nice-- particularly the mercenary one. This could either be one ability designated to the mercenaries, on...

[[Author's note: This ended up longer than intended. These aren't supposed to be this long! Enjoy a Friday treat from us to you.]] It was a peaceful, sunny day in the Shadgard plains, and the air was heavy with the fragrance of pine and wildflowers. The bison were grazing in the meadow, the birds we...

[[Author's note: It's not the update you wanted, but it's the update I needed to write. Hopefully it's enjoyable!]] "Stop yer' fidgets'n hold still." Her voice, melodic despite it's insistent drawl was balm for the soul. YANK! Yank! Yankyankyank! "FFFFF---!" Zeldryn hissed, silen...

Sideri asks, "Q: What common known information, if any, is there about [the Wardens], their purpose, their beliefs, and their origin?" Sideri says, "A: The public knowledge that would be easily accessed is that the Wardens of the Grove, or just Wardens for short, is that they are a gr...

I entered the meeting a bit late, so any feedback on topics I might've missed so I can add them to this post would be appreciated! Topic I: Loona asks, "Given the recent events, how have you felt with our ability to make things fun and enjoyable when dealing with hostile factions and the charac...

I just wanted to chime in here quickly and say that i'll be posting an abridged summary of questions and answers discussed during the Q&A today. It's a rather sizeable log (and is currently still ongoing, I just didn't want to forget about this post) , so might take a day or two of sorting throu...

The sun was high in the sky, and the air was thick with the perfume of roasting dough and pulped blueberry. Through his window, Zeldryn could see the typical morning bustle of Shadgard's citizenry-- merchants hurrily leading wagons to market, bedraggled miners slowly trudging eastward toward a day o...

Zeldryn: The master of breaking concentration During a vigil: You put an iron shot in the tailored white silk trousers that you are wearing. [You sense a dull gray light with a hint of shadowy-black followed by, "My names Azazle is their a ax for logging in their too?"] Ryko removes a larg...

I imagine it’s not going to be very much of an issue picking up this information in character. As we draw closer to the dreaded day, I’m sure the usual folks will be peddling information around by letter, Word of mouth, etc.

Also yes, all are welcome. Thanks SC/staff!

I personally go off of the set 50 per box rate. But honestly? I'd probably have more fun doing it for tips. Anyone have any opinions on this, themselves? Stick to the Old Ways. Let the customer set their tip based on how much they made from the boxes and how they felt about the service rendered. Im...

Hi there! Thanks for the survey, and I hope the feedback's appreciated. Just a few quick notes: A: I think that i've found things that i'd consider "unique" in a box more often than I'd find something i'd consider "rare". But I have found those "rare" objects as well. T...

[Author’s Note] Hi everybody! I just wanted to say a few things before we get to the good stuff! Firstly, all characters mentioned in the stories in this thread are written with the permission of, and often with edits/suggestions from, their rightful owners. Because they’re great. Secondly, this thr...

Bonus round:

You simply elaborate, "This part actualy is a little windy. So."
*exactly 1 nanosecond passes*
A quiet hissing can be heard as a light wind breezes through the boughs of the trees.


...SPOOOKY.

[CHAT - (a mysterious GM)]: These are all Noctere, save for the sheathes. [CHAT - (a mysterious GM)]: I heard there were many tacos required in their production. [CHAT - Cacklackian]: were they made in the great taco-forge of the heuc homelands? [CHAT - (a mysterious GM)]: Where the bells ring long ...

Now that I have an extra second to sit down and write actual words, I wanted to say a few more things in response to others. (Oops, I wrote another novel. Prepare.) Vazdol: I think it goes without saying that on large, you do a really good job as an antagonistic force, and will likely continue doing...

I don’t have time for a very in-depth response right now, but I wanted to poke my head back in and thank everybody for continuing to offer feedback, and to the staff especially for offering their own perspectives. It’s extremely valuable, very much appreciated.

I thought yall were finnaly going to break the cycle thats been on forever in this game, but then.. here you all are saying sorry and i apologise. Back to the starting line. Elizas post was not toxic or mean or immature. it was real. Same for many of yours. I am similar player who didnt last long, ...

I, too, just wanted to take a moment to apologize. I'm not nearly so gifted with the use of words as some of my peers in this thread, and that shows. I wish I could capture half of the message that they've encapsulated-- because I feel like i've really fallen short in my own attempts. Jirato, I'm si...

First of all, thank you, Alila, as always, for being so thoughtful as you are and posting this thread to provoke discussion about this issue in a more peaceful, composed manner than I was able to manage. I failed in that respect, and, as usual, you consistently are an example of what we should be tr...

Bump. The grinding isn’t as much of a concern anymore, but there are a lot of valid points in this thread that I think folks here should read. Also keep in mind that every single person in this thread, spare three of them, are no longer here for various reasons, grinding aside. Of particular note ar...

They are nice ideas! As much as I would love a hurled weapons specialization, the last time it was mentioned there did not seem to be any intentions of adding it, but it is still a worthwhile suggestion. Some of the concern seemed to be they were not designed as a primary focus, but maybe if there ...

Just wanted to take a second to express my gratitude regarding the kind words offered for my suggestions, and also for the feedback in regard to hamstring's gating. Without taking an hour to write a response to Alila/others, suffice to say that I will get to ya'll in just a bit for a more in depth r...

So, random suggestion, I know, but it came up in chat and sounded interesting. In the days of ancient warfare, it wasn't uncommon for footsoldiers to wear a brace of 3-4 odd throwing javelins on their arm or shield that they'd toss on over toward their charging enemies before moving in with their pr...
