Questionable Questing

Bob is bob

I'm curious what you will think of the society set up. And how goes your quest?

Andy333

My quest is going pretty good. Although I'm kind of in an awkward spot with it. I mean I pre planned most of the major arcs that are going to happen. And we just finished up the first one with Baelish's trial. But I'm debating with myself if I want to move on to the next major arc,

Andy333

were Cersei's gets herself a mentor in magic and I really start opening the world up to the players or should I focus on a smaller scale arc so that I can get more time to fit in character interactions.

Andy333

it's a tough choice and what makes its tougher is that I don't have a major villain to fill in for this arc, since all the major villains I have planned are still in the background and aren't ready to show down with Cersei yet. So I'm just trying to find a way to transition into the next arc while fitting in more character development and I'm debating with myself how to do it.

Foreshadow larger world through lore learned from character arc with magic instructor

Have you thought of OC villian characters?

With fanfic that goes far from canon, you start to hit the point of needing to make characters up and not use the canon store for every threat.

Andy333

Just got back from school. My current OC is the flesh changer which is a magic user who as the name implies specializes in necromancy and a second one which is a another god that the players will be able to make a deal with who's dominion is control and slavery. And what my goal with these two is to make the reader desperate.

Andy333

Right now Cersei is queen. She has a husband that loves and supports her. Her family is good. her father is sidelined. her brothers are plotting with her. Cersei is basically queen of the castle right now and I want to break that. i want to make an enemy that the players can't fight against but have to plan around.

Andy333

I want them to have to deal with a situation where they are utterly powerless. And while I would love to explain how I intend to do that with the flesh changer i don't want to spoil it, unless your okay with that.

Who's the God? What are Gods here?

You need to foreshadow it without giving enough warning to fully counter the problem

Go for it, I haven't been keeling up and want to read a interlude on a society we did?

And have you read our recent updates or nah? Also, have you thought of original works or fanfic only?
And how is your day

Andy333

I'm really tired today. There was a wreck coming home so it turned a forty minute drive into an hour long one. And today and tomorrow I'm doing OSHA training so what that entails is sitting in a class room for five hours listening to an OSHA guy lecture us on all the horrible ways you can get hurt or die if you don't follow the safety guidelines.

Andy333

Right now I'm just trying to get through all that before I can focus on anything else. Sorry if I've been distracted lately, just last week was VFD training, this week its OSHA, next week or the week after that, I'm not sure, it's going to be NATE testing. Which is a type of certification course that's pretty important if your working HVAC in California specifically.

Andy333

I'm so busy right now, I just get home, take a shower, get something to eat, and then just destress for a couple hours. Which is fine. I only have a couple weeks of school left. But still this last month of grind is not fun.

Andy333

Sorry if I'm bitching at you with personal stuff.

Bob is bob

No prob. Sleepy. Respond tomorrow. Feel free to talk about crap that bothers you. Brain shutting down for a bit. Sleep
