[FinalityCYOA]Orphanmaker Writing

Thanks, AH. I'm going to try to contribute as many of these as I can, but I think our gestalt style is better. It might be nice to have the Finality creator weigh in on some of the more location-specific entries as well.

Frank sent in five more for review.

Which ones, just out of curiosity? So I don't try to write them.

They're in the first post.

See them now... must not have refreshed properly. They look a bit rough but quite good.

One question I had was the indeterminate nature of how the hero is armed- one of Frank's posts mentions a katar, and I know that one of mine mentioned "your sword". The different classes have different weapons- do we want to keep the references neutral unless a specific weapon option- like the enchanted hammer- is called for?

If you're using poison, you're the assassin, so that's okay. Where it's not specific, we should go with generic "weapon."

I'm not going to worry about it too much as that is a continuity issue we'll have to pay attention to in editing.

I do notice that this most recent set of posts point out the Muse of Belphegor. I was under the impression that we weren't using that faction due to the economic theory being out of place, and I stole part of the title to make the Scales of Belphegor. Either we change the comedian's material to target another faction, or I can return the Muse to the list of Finality factions; modified for suitability, likely as naive idealists who argue for infrastructure investments as envisioned by mad scientists in the name of eliminating the need for labor. I'm talking projects that would bankrupt Finality partway through construction.

Glad progress is being made! I've been so sick, and mah brain just don't concentrate the way it should. I'll pitch in when I can.

I've been too busy with midterms to do anything other than post links in topics, vote in LPs recall campaign logs or copy information from FF books for LPs.

Once that's all taken care of, (if there's still writing to do by that point,) I'd love to chip in.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 4:45 pm

023 and 083 are up. More entries needed.

Sorry for not moving faster on this, lot on my plate recently.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Tue Dec 31, 2013 10:09 pm

Okay, now that my 2013 project is done, I've set goals for 2014. Starting with, we are going to finish Orphanmaker!

JigokuBosatsu · Post by **JigokuBosatsu** » Wed Jan 01, 2014 3:37 am

That's a good resolution. I'm not sure how we'll I'll be able to help with the writing- though this might be good "physical therapy". And I can certainly contribute some shitty old school illustrations... I would like to play around with ink and reduction.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Tue Jan 07, 2014 1:11 am

008 is up for review.

JigokuBosatsu · Post by **JigokuBosatsu** » Tue Jan 07, 2014 5:03 pm

Looks good. Is anyone actively working on any of the "to be written" entries?

Also, I think we should have a "what does Narm Orphanmaker look like" contest. Maybe a separate art thread for that.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Jan 08, 2014 11:19 pm

008 posted; 3 new entries from Jigoku up for review.

Okay, finally got JB's entries posted...January has defeated me. February isn't looking so good. But I'm really hoping we finish this before the end of the year.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Thu Apr 03, 2014 2:07 am

Two new entries to review.

Notes for stuff for me to fix after my nap:

ftrollman:‎ In Orphanmaker, entry 076 has an entry for a bid of less than 4 and an entry for 5 or greater. This is not all encompassing.

ftrollman:‎ In Orphanmaker, 071 directs you to 074, which is a page citation that is part of the fight outside the bar on your date with a guardswoman. But it should be 099: "lost in the Shades."

ftrollman:‎ In Orphanmaker, if you pay a silver note to the Kobold to have him take you to the Weasel Holes, it sends you to 059, which is part of the date with Borba. Should send you to 060: The Weasel Holes.
