Are we waiting on me for anything?

Cookie for anyone ooc that's figured it out. Two if you know who the writers are.

We beseech our Maker to bless this working with his guidance and favor. We submit to his exacting judgment, so that we may always improve. We call to his Minister of Curiosity to enlighten us with his ways and means. The litanies continue on. It is an interesting quirk of the language that...

Lore updated.

It is a flash of... memory? for Deunan. A treatise she had written? On the Languages of the Maker's Creations that had detailed the fact that no language could completely deviate from the godspeak of what was becoming known as Old Realm. But that would have been a heretical document and...

I can work with something close to that. I'll do an update when I'm back on a computer.

Color me impressed. Do you have a fact you're introducing then, or are you just challenging that it's unknown? Excellency cannot double your specialty, so I do have to take away a die. Sucks that your last and third to last die are both 10s, since one of those is normally what I'd take...

As a longer term project, sure. You've had around ten minutes of exposure to a portion of an unknown language. I'd need 30-40 successes to brute force something you don't even have a key to decipher it from. But yes, you can shoot for it. If you want to try one big roll, minimum difficulty...

You still don't have an official backstory, you have a major positive tie to the people of Whitewall. The unofficial backstory I've got sitting in my message box says your people traded with Whitewall. Yes, I realize Linguistics 0 means you can't read. If you'd please, at least put your...

Did I miss where you said your character is illiterate? Sorry about that.

Also, I've added beer notes into lore now. Heh.

I'm definitely against doing a solo game for anyone's motivation, even a defining. But it's a fine downtime activity, or something you come at from another perspective (beat every slaver to death, for example). The slavery thing was made an example of because everyone reacted in a similar vein...

For systems that are dice heavy. Exalted, Dungeons and Dragons, etc. Dice heavy systems generally break the genre mold because you can put them in fantasy/sci-fi/modern.
