Now, if he had sufficient help and some prep time?  Maybe.  Question here is if those with sufficient power and experience available are willing to give him Helping Hands later.

Ngl, getting something equivalent to a better Master Ball or free high impact surprises sounds extremely tempting when you're trying to research dangerous wildlife.

What a dandy guy.

I'm definitely interested in seeing how the Grand Melee plays out as well.  In addition to those Battle Palace vibes, it's also giving off Star Barrage vibes to me.

Continuation of RP centric Posts, however, is much more tenable.

I’m also interest and, frankly, fascinated that I manage to create a politics nightmare web with what few things I’ve introduced on that angle, Game Thread and Backstory wise. Exasperated and a bit appalled too, and also dreading with anticipation at how much more of a mess it could become, oh dear…

I honestly want to outline the Political Snarls that Seddi and the rest of the group is in/can fall into to give more Info for everyone and so it’s down in record that can be referenced later, but that is both A) time consuming, and B) potentially spoilerific for Seddi and Bern in particular . I’d need to get you guys permission to do a overview on it with that in mind .

It's fine though!  It's an interesting angle for Seddi's part of the story (one that I was kind of expecting to come up eventually, given various background choices.  Just not this quickly...), and you can always slow the background elements down for arbitrary reasons if things are getting too hairy too quickly.  This is a story about trouble in Sutalör specifically after all.  International intrigue doesn't have to be a primary focus even if it is integral to the lore of the world at large.  Unless of course the trouble is the international intrigue (but talking about whether it is would be spoilers!).

I'd be fine with a general outline of things we should avoid doing.  Would give me a little more peace of mind when posting in potentially high stress political situations.  If it's spoilerific though, I dunno.  Depends on the kind of possible spoilers it'd contain I guess.
