[QUOTE="Wincenworks, post: 9282541, member: 7038835"] Part of the problem is the module showcases Dave's wandering attention span and commitment to never reviewing or following up. Like I said there's literally "page 00." and notes to himself to add stats for gnolls in the material. Given his reliance on AI to generate the bulk of the text and get him through creative struggles, it's quite possible anything that doesn't link to their personal vendettas etc is probably just the AI. There's a bit where the corpse is named Gary... which could be a reference to a certain Gygax, but at other points its referred to as Mary. I'm also not convinced that Seth the Wizard is anyone particular, or that Iris the orc is... or there's any significance to the names of the other characters, they just seem to generated for Dave and he decided to go with it because the important thing is getting credit for having made something... not the actual making of the thing or the specifics of what you made. Dave has been faffing about trying to get into creative areas, including role-playing games, for decades at this point and a fairly consistent element has been that he generally releases not a product, not a first draft, but rather the rambling notes that someone more diligent might turn into a first draft then start refining. He very clearly bashes stuff out, experiments, etc but then never goes back to review and edit. Which in hindsight is probably a blessing since I'm already uncomfortable with his tendency to list the ages of the daughters... I really don't need him to go back and elaborate further. [/QUOTE]
