Readers (or players, as the case may be) tend to come up with answers that are far more vivid in their minds than any explanation introduced from outside, haha.Magushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04807974921087213718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053597527673588562.post-23097370143603685252017-03-08T01:51:16.598-05:002017-03-08T01:51:16.598-05:00Wow, this kind of thing would make for a really sp...Wow, this kind of thing would make for a really spooky quest-giver. "I've got what you need. Just bring me some Orc scalps. Doesn't matter whose." Granted, that would be a variation on the old MMORPG trope of "20 Bear Asses" (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TwentyBearAsses), but if the targets are sufficiently morally gray for pangs of conscience to possibly bother the players (or even outright innocent victims), or if the quest-giver is just sufficiently creepy, or if the sheer desperate need for the reward is extreme enough to make the players have to commit violence under time/resource constraints, then I don't think that's a problem.<br /><br />I also really like how this saint basically got the besieged people to step up their warfare game by essentially trading food for military success. That's a super weird and clever and creepy concept you've got there. "Want food? Get good, scrub."Justin Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885816572933013245noreply@blogger.com
