[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I'm really irked out because I'm extremely interested in what's going on but I can't properly engage with it when I'm on a moving ship. Internet's way too spotty.(...)

Genuine question, do cruise ships not usually provide wi-fi or internet hotspots? I see it being extremely unlikely to near impossible to have access to mobile network and the internet on the open sea without anything, but I would have guessed that the big cruise ships (which are almost like a tiny town) would at least povide some access, even if it'd be for a fee or only in a confined space. But what do I know, I've never set one foot on a ship and don't plan to do ever either.

Announcement: The Map is Done (Well, the first draft of it anyway)! Tell me your thoughts on it, mates!

Usually I would have gladly offered you to visualize the map under your guidance (Redstone: because like I'm an amateur artist), but my skills on cartography are near zero - so what I'd brew up would either not look better than what you created even in color, or it'd be very hard to read as I'd dump every possible info onto the map...  ╮(￣ω￣; )╭ So, sorry for that dear! Pretty sure there are map-builders floating around online if one searches for it, or skilled people who specialize in cards and maps that can be commissioned (I'd be happy to chip in here, if going that route!) Anyway, what you show image-wise does the job just fine for now, I appreciate your visualization greatly!~

The idea of a -quoting you- Spoiler Tag containing Public/Shared information on the Place and what Events happened in it -quote end- is also a great one, this will make a fine reference and recap of events that I'll gladly make use of. Will definitely copy a link to map post into chara sheet, once I actually start transfering anything so-far-discussed into one.


Now for some specific things/questions:

- It IS a big and quite versatile region, which I really like! Am feeling like it hosts a good amount of secrets + interesting ('interesting' in both a good and bad way) places to explore and a not-so-small number of outright dangerous or hostile places (which makes sense though, given this' shall be a more serious/dark/adult campaign and PCs start out strong) that I'm looking forward to visit and find out about more. Kudos on creating it all!

- With Bayhama City being labeled the capital, I'd guess that's going to be the starting point for us all aka that's going to be where the campaign starts from? Naturally it does depend on our all PCs background and multiple other factors, but from what I am understanding, at minimum the default background choice of 'Tourist/Outsider' will start from here?

- Oh boi, I would not in the slightest be suprised if Sutalör's own Safari Zone holds some...messy places here and there, aka some scattered remains of dead visitors or murders scenes. Or at minimum some remains of blood. Sounds like a place of 'highly risky to visit, but just as highly rewarding if you make it out in once piece'.

- -quoting you again- for these bunch of Magi like their privacy and don't appreciate the overly nosy -quote end- Does that mean that non-Magi are outright not permitted to visit the Mageocracy, you need sort of a permit or anything to do so/take a ship there, or like 'you CAN visit if you really desire to, but we [Magi] do not want you to settle down here if you are not a fellow Magi'? Just asking out of curiosity and interest. Personally I would guess it being along the lines of the latter??
