I thought we could discuss it a little and it need not be resolved before we start up again we can play and talk at the same time.Ok here goes.While on my forced hiatus I'm sure you all know that the progression of Off to War(OtW) was at the forefront of my thinking and writing. I thought about what had gone before and what I would like to do in the future. But one thing kept nagging at me.That was the flow of the game coming back from everyone else. We all know the overall story (Invasion by a nation of elves called the Treylor) and that the PC's are marching towards a confrontation with an enemy army. But without the little hints you get from reading a story I think the flow is messed up.You know how that some writers put in a page or two of what is going on in relation to the story but doesn't deal with the characters and where they are or what they are doing. They just write a little insight giving you the reader a better understanding to make the story flow better.I think I may need to do something like this. And was wondering if anyone thought it a good or bad ideal. What I think is truly missing is the "why" are the Treylor invading. I have given little hints starting with the Key to Victory(K2V), but it is not the same as knowing for sure. I wish to make this as enjoyable as possible for everyone playing and those lurkers just out looking for a good read. Was thinking of adding stories and tales or histories, but I think these could be played off as untrue or misinterpreted so do you the player truly believe them. And also I could change something and say "Hey they lied." But how would you the player know that they did lie unless you had a little inside knowledge. I don't know was thinking of posting some stories here and there allowing you all to read them and give you a better insight to the story from the otherside of the coin.Thoughts?HM</blockquote>
