Oh hey, this isn't dead.

Considering the low-magic setting, and how the Vikings were more raiders than conquerors, I wouldn't mind dealing with plots and intrigues in the homeland every so often. I'm fine with raiding, as long as things are mixed up every so often so we're not just ransacking villages of helpless commoners.

I wouldn't be opposed to trying a bit of mass combat, though I've never really messed with it before.

[SOLDIER First]

- Enough to make playing a religious dude fun!
- I'm okay with whatever.
- Ditto.
- Ditto!
- I wouldn't mind a more serious tone but I'm fine with anything as long as it's not silly.
- Generic BBEGs would kinda suck. Same for generic SAVE THE WORLD ones. Other than that, again, I'm fine with whatever.

[highmax28]

I too would like more stuff in the homeland, but I'm perfectly good with raiding and such.

I'm good with any villain that is more than just "I'm evil for the sake of being evil". And it doesn't even have to be villains, it can just be rival Earls/Kings etc. And we're along for the ride

Sorry for lateness :v

Anyway, I have the rest of this prologue of sorts planned out, but I'm not sure where to take the campaign after it. So I want to ask you guys what kind of direction you want to take the game in:

- How much magic do you want to see? What kinds?
- How much of the world do you want to travel to? Where specifically?
- Are you comfortable with raiding or do you want that phased out?
- Are you comfortable with mass combat?
- What kind of tone should the game have?
- Anything else? Plot setups you can't stand? Types of villains you don't want to see?

-Úlfr's no interest in magic, besides the occasional prayer and subsequent boon. I don't mind lots of magic, but Úlfr will be muttering about damn sorcerers under his breath whenever they show up.
-Úlfr and I both want to see as much of the world as possible, but specifically anywhere where we can make lots of money, through trade or plunder.
-Raiding's fine for me, but Úlfr will mutiny if he has to steal from priests too many times. I wrote that into him before the game, and I feel kinda bound to stick to it. :/
-Never done mass combat seriously, but I'd be interested. (Does this involve naval combat too?)
-I always enjoy a variety of tone in games, but I'll leave that up to you.
-Pretty much what everyone else said. I built a character that's geared towards support, and non-social out-of-combat problem resolution, so I'd really appreciate it if you threw a couple skill challenges in too.

- All kinds, and lots.
- Dargharb at least, I suppose.
- More raiding! Less anemic opposition would also be grand, truth be told.
- Never done it before.
- Lighthearted murder romp across the breadth of the world.
- Not to get on your case too much, but this is barely a game at all at the present rate of updates, and that's what I'd like fixed before anything else.

[Tawa]

Alright, thanks for the input! Looks like we're all looking for the same kind of thing.

Update pending. Frequent updates intended.

[Tawa]

Might as well ask now: if this guy turns out to be a regular, or we end up with any other tagalong NPCs who don't speak everyone's languages, can I just assume that someone who does speak their language translates for everyone else unless notified otherwise?

[My Name is Immaterial]

I'd say that's very fair.

[highmax28]

I thought that's how we were doing it

I think my character's patience will run thin however from the constant waiting for translations being trained and half-raised by a berserker

[Tawa]

We good to move on? I was letting it sit because I didn't feel like the conversation was over, but now I feel like a bump is obligatory.

[highmax28]

It was pretty much over after it was confirmed we're starting a distraction fire

[Tawa]

Hmmkay. I'm mostly tentative because Gunnvor and Vil have been extremely quiet.

[Harry Baldman]

Hmmkay. I'm mostly tentative because Gunnvor and Vil have been extremely quiet.

It might be related to the way this game has stopped for weeks on end several times now, I suspect. Not terribly good for retaining players. I know I'm certainly surprised every time this thread stirs from beyond the grave.

[Sirus]

I've had no ideas, to be honest. The only things Gunnvor is half-way good at is diplomacy and interrogation, and neither of them are useful right now. Especially since she can't speak the local language.

[Tawa]

Alright then.

Er, sorry for stalling the game so much. It's kind of self perpetuating; I forget to update, then I remember like a week later that I have to update, but then I get nervous about how you guys will respond to my lateness, and the anxiety prompts me to not update :/

It's still better than I've been about in the past,  at least.
