Tales of the Jewel

For small games, it feels like personal stories are the way to go. Which can come from factions. But otherwise we've got, what, 0-2 people per faction, and you never know who is going to drop or be unable to really take part. This. It's really hard to do factional fighting with small and short as t...

"She did quite well, actually doubled my investment on her, I should consider hiring her full time maybe." "If you're looking for a guard, you could do a lot worse than someone who took shots from a khadi for nothing more than coin and pride. Just make sure they continue to get paid well in both of...

Lamis nods as he speaks, gently stroking Janan's neck out of habit. "More fresh air is good for you, you know? And the City isn't all there is, or the only place plans and hope might survive," she says quietly. He hand pauses, just resting against Janan's warmth. 'I'm not a silver-tongued merchant o...

He looks at her a bit surprised as he comes back, his mind probably still on the work he'd just done, but after a moment he nods. "Oh. Certainly, Sayyeda. Provided I succeed in not bleeding out, of course", he adds with a wry grin. "If I may ask... is there something specific you want to talk about...

Hmm, Yes, Lamis totally brought Janan to the field, having no idea what the contest would be today and all. Makes carrying easier and maneuvering through the streets harder. "Hey, you've got space to cook. I've got...well let's say that while he'll fit, and I don't think the landlady's going to goss...

There were faction goals?

There were not, as far as I know. Certain factions kind of have overarching goals built in, but this game didn't have any specific ones.

Given my *very* last minute character, I was fine not trying to juggle a Faction goal this go 'round. (I mean, shooting a Khadi for fun is kind of in there anyway?). Similarly, I'm often busy enough that I get stressed out getting too directly involved in a GM plot when there are days I'm offline 12...

Hmm, how did we get this far without a Memorable Moments thread? Even in a small short game? Welllllll, I mean, not to belabor the point, but a lot of interpersonal threads are kinda stovepiped, with pairs or trios forming up and largely talking to each other, which makes sense, given the short dur...

Hmm, how did we get this far without a Memorable Moments thread? Even in a small short game? Well, I'd feel weird starting one for a post from someone else bragging about Lamis, so I won't. But among the rest of a post that's got a nice summation of at least one solid narrative thread in this game (...

Still unwilling to tempt the attention of fate by openly bragging about anything...particularly punching arrows into a khadi...Lamis arrived at the ceremony with her cloak covering bandages, which in turn covered the worst of the stains on her only decent set of clothing for the city. Damned if she ...
