Good to see he's been busy... I'll have to remake the character application for him won't I?
Y...yes... o_o
I've noticed that a lot of Viridosian's have not appeared in the thread yet only about 7 or 8 or all like 15 have shown up. Starting to wonder if that's a good or a bad thing.
If you step back and look at the three ICs, you'll see we've got a mix of scale.
Pegulis is very much focussed on the ENTIRETY of the land, which an unknown threat in every city and border. It is a 'zoomed-out' first chapter in that regard.
Viridos is the opposite - a very narrow opening story that focuses on just one boat and a handful of adventurers.
Kaustir is in the middle, with a city-scale narrative.
Imagine a movie camera with 3 types of zoom. That's what we went for.
When this first 2 week cycle is up, we'll probably switch that around. Kaustir will have a nation-wide event, Pegulis will be narrow focus, maybe on just one group investigating the ghoul sage, and Viridos will have a city-scale happening around the Monolith. We figure this will give people a nice mix of epicness vs intimacy.
What I think has happened is that the narrow Viridosi story has made players a little uncertain about where to enter.
But the next plot event might well be the catalyst they need.
