[[An alternative idea for future "introductions" do what you did with those two NPC's that just sorta left. Have a person of the vague type that the PC is [A nameless soldier at first.] and have him interact with the group a bit [through you but having the Player set up the conditions "Be polite" "Be suspicous" "Ask for X" or the like]. If they keep him then the PC gets introduced. If not then who cares? It was just a nameless soldier and not the PC. I dunno. It's not the perfect system but it does allow for some leeway in accepting people into the group.]]

I worked for 15 minutes on a response to this, and then it got deleted. Here's my abridged response:

1. Random NPCs into a fully-fleshed out organic environment would require me to change everything.

2. New player introduction priority > one instance of free will.

3. Guilt tripping over not being fair to Newly introduced PCs. See my latest post in RTD Princess Celestia for details.

Jarrod gets up, and walks over to the new guy with a grin on his face. He extends his hand.

"Thanks. You might have saved us some trouble. The name's Jarrod. You?"

points at the guy walking away

so this is how you repay the guy who killed a rotter for you if I wanted you dead I would have killed you already.

hey Jerrod would you mind if I joined you I have been wondering around for fucking days trying to find a decent group all the others I have come across have looked like they might eat me. I have my gun and my general skills as a soldier to help you out.

Clair looks wary at the guy, but went with the optimist outlook

"Hello sir, like Jerrod says, what your name? My's Clair Lord."

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

Jarrod shakes his hand.

"Wulf, eh? Is that Swedish? Either way, a little extra firepower wouldn't hurt."

He turns around, waiting for the others to say something.

Walk over to the man, say hello and look around for anything moving.
"Hello there. Thanks for killing it, but did you have to do it so loud? It may have attracted more..."

"Mr. Rand..." He extends his hand. "Thanks for just now. But wasn't that awfully risky? Say, you look like a soldier, what's happened to your unit?"

Chapter 12: Induction


~Day 1~
August 8th, 2015
11:53:59 A.M.[/i]

Jarrod gets up, and walks over to the new guy with a grin on his face. He extends his hand.

"Thanks. You might have saved us some trouble. The name's Jarrod. You?"
"Damn, I wanted that one...."

After some introductory dialogue, Wulf sort of De Facto's his way into the group.

In the meantime, Ben looks for a path to Americus.

[Ben Perception: 3]

Well, there's always the obvious road ahead. That by itself seems like the only route to progress forward for now.

Charles looks around for movement of anything else that could be around.

[Charles Perception: 4]

It seems like the group is by itself again, only accompanied by the swaying of the surrounding flora.


Another wave of hunger rushes through the group yet again.
