Neat talk. My player suggested that maybe Danor controlled printing presses and was working on controlling some of the newspapers in Flint. They could be licensing them out in Flint and strong-arming some editorial control. I'm not sure I want to play that up, I'm working hard to make sure...

I like that. Makes me realize that I don't have a good in-character speech by Delft that will set the tone and set the players on the right path. We had a funny talk because in my example questions from their joining interview one player thought their PCs answer to every questionable situation...

Really appreciate it. That's a lot of good ideas and conversation. I'll re-write that intro so it's a bit less barbaric and threatening, though honestly I talked to one player and they were good with it. It felt like an appropriate "You are choosing to do this, there is a big negative if you...

Forget where I had read it, maybe I made it up, but I took the "The RHC has ways to confirm you are serious and good-hearted and dedicated to the RHC and Risur" as "It would be a neat scene if there were a lie-detector type questioning, with a dire penalty to scare away infiltrators" as a PC...

Would be curious to hear about "As GM I had a more in-depth view of the themes: nature vs industry, free will, forgiveness, justice. I am sure I can think of others." I'm prepping mine, won't be for a few months, but I have a neat idea of playing out the RHC application interview. Putting the...

I like it. Appreciate taking the time to write out some ideas. I'll ponder around things and will be curious how it goes for OP as I'll be a few months behind. If nothing else I really like the scene where the Courier has a little chat with the PCs and I build up that half of that is perhaps...

Very interesting. I'm prepping mine, which won't be for many months. We're playing in 13th Age which allows PCs to pick a "One Unique Thing" and one PC is set on "I was the one who struck the death blow on the Goddess". They lived a bunch of lives they don't remember, all infused with regret...

If you know this is a one-off, setting it during the last war might be interesting. The culprit could be stealing war supplies, sabotaging, etc. Would make the Danor embassy thing a bit more tense. Like relations need to be kept up, diplomats need to be there to handle POW swaps, or maybe...
