[QUOTE="engrishonly, post: 5428497, member: 38460"] Alright. And don't despair over this. Writing Beliefs isn't very easy, and discussion is a part of what will make the game cool. I like the underlying concept. Good idea. However, I don't like "somehow" or "something". It doesn't help me. Sometimes, "somethings" are okay, but since we're not well acquainted, providing us with specifics will give us more insights into you & avoid any misinterpretations on my part (as the Burning Wheel Dungeon Master for this game). So... What to do? Provide names, details. What does the Paladin seek? What will that artifact do for the Traladaran people? What does the Paladin risk to claim this artifact? Any or all of these questions (and whatever might help you) are good for me to know. Burning Wheel is based on what you bring as a player, and so you have to express it so I can help you get it to the "tabletop", so the other players can help/hinder the story in order to make it awesome. You want a magic sword for your character? Then write about it in a Belief! Your character wants to be the Lord of the Keep? Then write about it in a Belief. By putting these into Beliefs, they are woven into the mechanics of the game! [/QUOTE]
