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

[Lord Windos]

On the one hand, I really like that I've had plenty to go off of that's given me a clear sense of direction for this early part of a more open-ended game.

On the other hand, sorry if it seems like I'm stringing everyone along by detailing all the important P L O T info I was privy to due to character background choices.  I'm not trying to be the primary focus character of the story in every campaign I play in, I swear!  It just sorta happened again...

Okay, got that off my chest.  Excited to see how we all get to contribute to the wider plot!

Edit: You'll definitely get that battle with Seddi, Spirit.  Just not immediately since he's got a lot he needs to do now that he's in Sutalör.  Being on Official League Business™ has both perks and downsides.  Could tag along and help him out if you want, or you can do something else to pass the time while he finishes his initial business with the Professor and various legal channels.

That was due to you actually doing phenomenally well in Backstory Creation and making all the right choices. Otherwise your PC would've been kept in the dark on the matter until the time was right  for any amount of The Truth. So have some well earnt kudos for that, mate!

*Shrugs* Speaking as the GM, this campaign is intended to be open-ended with a few questlines you guys can latch onto if you want a more directed experience. Heck, I'm okay with you guys ignoring the obvious Plot Hook that was the Intro and the Info Dump Seddi gave if you just want to explore or complete your own objectives independent of everyone else - the campaign is very flexible in regards to player choice and what routes you want to take. Be a Hero like Seddi, sod off to explore and hunt for Rare Pokemon and Ancient Treasures, discover the hidden secrets of the land and The Grand Ancestors, Attempt the Trails of Enlightenment to gain your very own Legend, side with or against whomever you like...all that and more!

You just so happened to get a lead on one of them - whether or not Seddi and you maintain it and  remain a strong focus remains to be determined! And trust me - the other Players and their PCs will have their moments to shine or grab the spotlight. Some more than others and in rather drastic ways due to...particular choices they made, but on the Level I'm try my best to meet everyone half-way and give Staring Roles for points in the plot.

I would delay PC vs PC Battles until at least Day 4, mates. These are rather....lengthy and intense affairs due to the amount of PMs and plotting each side has to make, and I rather have everyone get into the groove of game and explore Bayhama sufficiently enough before engaging in Player Made Encounters.
