A Constructive Arx Thread

@Smile said in A Constructive Arx Thread:
Is it weird that sometimes it’s easier to play my NPCs than my PCs? Helping seed metaplot info or other character info is easier than actively forming character interactions.
ETA: Probably as RL has gotten insanely hectic. It’s not that I hate interpersonal interactions but yeah.
I don’t find this weird at all. For the last few months, most of the RP I’ve done has been GMing scenes for other players as a Player Storyteller. I sometimes find GMing easier than trying to figure out my own character stuff because I know it’ll just be a scene or two rather than a whole series of steps to accomplish a task or where I need to go next for my own stuff. That doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy my characters but sometimes they take more energy than I might have at the moment to figure stuff out.

I got enough clues to get a neat little REVELATION and huzzah, the puzzle is starting to look like an actual image, fancy that. I also learned about @families, when trying to figure out family tree stuff and/or marriages as I attempt to drag in a couple new players. (My efforts didn’t really work, or I am too dumb to have seen it, but it’s fine.)
… but also, I would kill for some programming skills to make a basic little searchable thing. I do have an Excel doc with #, Name, Type, but no idea how to lob tags or text into that without making things extra tricksy.

Family tree stuff

@Jennkryst I have always loved the clue system! It’s so fun to try and piece it all and then get a revelation.

Just read the action result from Malvici a first read over, and that was incredible. Thank you so much staff for the time on that, was such a complete story. Chills from reading it and I’m sure others feeling the same way.

Watching this stuff come together has been amazing. AMAZING.

I log off for FORTY MINUTES and someone leaves WAR all over the place.

@Snackness I don’t know what’s going on, so this does not in any way affect any of my choices for maybe future alts.

It has finally happened! WAAAAR. WAAR IS AMONG US!

All this excitement, and I’ve got like… three other folks on the roster I am kind of glancing at and debating pouncing on two of them before someone else grabs 'em, but 1) which two, and 2) why am I doing this to myself, arglebarglewaugh?!?!?

I like how some characters who folks had problems getting into are getting audited so that they might be picked up easier (except for Ysbail, I thoroughly enjoy jumping into the deep end, despite all my flailing to the contrary), but with the GREEN WALL OF DOOM, do we know if those audit-characters will be getting said audits any time soon?

@Jennkryst I wouldn’t expect it anytime soon. That’s my impression, at least. I don’t think it’s been high priority.

Congrats to the Arx staff who no doubt spent too much time trying to piece together dozens and dozens and dozens of actions for us into something coherent and fun. Everything I saw was very well done! Hope you all get a well-earned break now that all the green text is pushed out!
