Re: Some thoughts on the Shadowguild
The card game is about factions fighting each other, right? So it makes sense for all the factions to have some kind of visible presence. So completely-secret societies are out. We don't want the Shadowguild to be seen as automatically evil, so how to make them sympathetic? They're just a bunch of h...
Re: Tropes
I don't think I've ever heard Suchet without the accent (it was definitely his version that I watched). Anita Ekberg was quite famous in her day, nevertheless her film version of ABC Murders doesn't look very promising. The Suchet version works great as a mystery and the comedic elements (there's a ...
Re: Tropes
Oh that's a great resource! I recently rewatched the film version of the ABC Murders, and remembering the twist it was fascinating to see how cleverly it was set up all along, and how all the red herrings were weaved in.
Re: Twine
What I was thinking of doing anyway, was write a text adventure with hyperlink functionality: so you can use the parser or just click on things. A bit like this demo example, but um, fully functional.
Re: Twine
Twine looks pretty interesting and easy to use, but it's a tool for creating hypertext stories. I was intending to create a parser-based text adventure, of the sort where you type in commands like "go west", "talk to Gerald", or even "pick up the banana then give the banana to Gerald". However, I am...

Rough Outline
So here's a rough outline of what I've been working on. The player is an Imperial Agent, a sort of diplomat/enforcer type. The land (is the land called Wesnoth?) is split up into warring city states. The city states are mostly republics with de facto hereditary rule, ruled by councils drawn from the...
Re: Shadow Guild
I agree that the Shadow Guild shouldn't just be a cliché black-clad evil faction. Perhaps the best way of thinking about what the guild should be about, is to compare it to what the other factions are about and how it's different. As far as I see it: Gaia is about happiness , nature and life . The E...

Questions about Quests
So I've been reading the ORC quick rules . I learn best through practice, so I've been working towards playtesting the rules with the cards currently available and a bunch of Shadow League ones that I've made up for testing (so that rangers having flying creatures to shoot down etc.). In the process...

Re: To zoom? To borderline? Or to nothing?
The trouble with the zoom as it currently stands is that if you have one full line of cards, highlighting a card can push the other cards aside, creating a second line of cards. This moves everything about, creating unnecessary and distracting movement on the screen. Part of the trouble is so much o...
