It started as a joke, but I think it's turned out rather well. I think it also serves as a good example of the way we're providing detail for our potentially major and semi-major NPCs around Hot Springs Island (and one day all of the Swordfish Islands). A few paragraphs of backstory and bullet points of motivation that ultimately won't matter anyway when the party charges in and kills them. #ZOMGCRITBUILD.

Spelling's been changed but I was lazy

Wrote this a while back and have been meaning to get it up on the blog.

Kinda like this but with more tigers, magic and outdoors

Incognito! Sorta.

So, +Courtney Campbell over at Hackslash Master made a post today about getting into/onto G+ for roleplaying. It's very good, and I, like his reader Charles had a hard time making the switch over to G+ from RPG forums (like /tg/ and /r/rpg and whatnot). You see, in my youth on the internet I would get on forums, run my mouth, and get banned, so over time, lurking has become much more my style.

In the multi-verse of the Swordfish Islands, elementals come in two varieties:

Fleshy

A nereid and her pet

Non-Fleshy

A water elemental

According to a personality profile at work, I fixate a lot on "what?" questions. I, being biased, think they're the best way to get to the core of an issue or problem which I believe is critical because if you don't know the core of the issue, you can't actually fix a problem or communicate the problem to those who can fix it.
