[QUOTE="Piratecat, post: 835029, member: 2"] I'm still swooning, trembling with rapture at the vision of a future undead Priggle, but that will take some serious work to fit in plot-wise - assuming that I can do so without mangling what other things are going on in the plot. But meanwhile... So, there's a problem with this that I'm sure you've already thought of. Not with the mechanics; those are feasible. But the White Kingdom is one long-ass plot arc, and in essence it's a great big dungeon. What almost ALWAYS happens with big dungeons? I'll tell you (at least in my experience): players get bored. Part of not letting people get bored is keeping things interesting and unpredictable; the upcoming disaster in my story hour was orchestrated partially for that reason. The other part, though, is maintaining a sense of momentum. I want to keep things feeling like they're moving rapidly forward. I want there to be a definite end in sight, and for every piece to build on what has come before. A time-based side adventure makes me nervous because I'm not sure it would maintain the momentum. But lordy, it has potential. :D EDIT - Greybar, I think he's on the main thread, in the first 10 pages. I don't think I deleted him.
