    Okay, so real talk for a minute, since this is about money and real-world choices: it does have some design issues too, not just technical ones. Two main things stand out. First, it's an open world that doesn't have level scaling. Or badge scaling, which would probably be more appropriate. You...

    Yeah, that's true. It doesn't feel like it's adding anything, huh? That sort of thing works for, say, Anna and Fleur, but not really here. The vote for Jackie didn't specify if it should be first, third, or second person, so I was looking for a medium between that. But yeah, it's clearly...

    I've changed the thread title from something generic into something more about the character. Speaking of... I'm not sure about the lack of spoken lines for the protag. It's something I saw elsewhere, but does it work here? Or is Jackie too characterized to be an insert? Up to you readers...

    Threadmarks: Chapter One: Scarify

    Chapter One: Scarify It's only winter in the north. One could say it to mean many things. That life is only hard in the north. That houses are still buried under ice and snow in the middle of spring. That growing used to hardship means being less used to comfort. It's the third one, this...

    They're late, maybe, but I'm also very late. I have to apologize, I've been caught up in Pokemon Violet since the eighteenth. Even though it's very clearly a handheld system's game shoved roughshod into a HD console, the world building for it is actually very good. I mean, you can take...

    I'm a few minutes late, but I suppose that's it for the vote. And for character creation. Here is what we ended with: [X] Plan Cold and Calculating Ahuizotl, Marlin, Kadehex, iamweirdo [X] Plan: Friendmaker Edgedancer, JTK334, Tamphithere [X] Plan Perfect Illumination Beetlebrox So, it...

    Yes for becoming undead, but corpse-dom is its own price to pay. As for finding someone from outside time, your character wouldn't know but it's the sort of thing that might make sense in hindsight. I agree! I'm trying to go a different direction with this one, where the things behind the...

    Observation could be used to make a diviner see a different version of your destiny, so it could help, but only up to a point. Once the wizard recognizes what they're looking at, they can use a different method to counteract your method. There are only three cases where someone is...

    We have an hour left for this first part of character creation, and then things will move on to the second part. Since we're moving along, I've added an explanation for how magic works to the Extras threadmarks. It's also here, in the spoiler: tl;dr: formulas are a sentence, principles...

    All correct. Humans, elves, dwarfs, full on chimeras, humans with minor enhancements, and so on. Discrimination scales up the further from human you are, and nobles especially don't like it when a person from a lower station is born with advantages they don't have.

    Explaining Magic 101 Overview: In generic terms, each school of magic is a single, broadly useful spell, which is then adjusted to have different uses or effects as needed. A school's root spell is called its foundational formula, and the parts of a formula that can be altered are called its...

    [] Evocation – A school of magic which taps into the elements that make up all things... at least, from a medieval standpoint. All fire, water, earth, and air magic, as well as the derivative storm, force, and artifice magics, stems directly from the foundational evocation formula. Scholars are...
