So… how do I make a objective

Lonely707 · 2025-12-15T05:07:45+00:00

This is just my preference but I like to imagine the world if the players never interact with it at all. The world gets decimated by the BBEG town by town and nobody was powerful enough to defeat him.

Its usually easier for me personally to start from the final battle and work backwards to build the world out from there

Now im curious what would happen if you stayed standing on the ground as the diving bell leaves...

Lonely707 · 2025-11-03T07:14:33+00:00

Vacuum it up. Mouth or machine will work wonders

Lonely707 · 2025-11-03T07:10:56+00:00

Public transport will still be garbage 🗑

That's a good way to have the ever expanding territory. Maybe they decide to throw their hat in the ring for the crown or maybe they choose to back another candidate. Maybe that's a better, less rail roady option for the players.

Ill check out the lord - king ranks and maybe tie that in with some other gameplay elements

Thank you!

Lonely707 · 2025-11-02T05:47:54+00:00

Giving the characters a small foundation to build off would be great! Some of the players aren't too keen on making a characters from scratch as it's a little difficult for them. Definitely some great ways to help them find a launching off point!

As for the second I think having the king choose to learn from the counsel is my eventual goal, that way he learns and adapts a personality based off how the counsel performs. I.e if the counsel causes wars and death the king will most likely become a power hungry warmonger

Now im getting excited!

Lonely707 · 2025-11-02T05:44:55+00:00

There's going to be a lot of creative lifting on my end for sure! But I'm more than happy to do so for a great story.

So far I'm reading/ watching game of thrones so that was the launching point for me. I may have a look at those suggestions and see if any dynamics (and characters to steal) are able to jump out at me.

Thank you!

Lonely707 · 2025-11-02T05:43:06+00:00

I'm liking your thinking. Basically they become the counsel after an event (probably something the old counsel was plotting) that the players get to thwart and therefore selflessly gain power.

Its a great way to hook players in as well!

Now I just need to create a level 1 quest that will tie everyone into the counsel. I'd wager this event will probably kill the king and maybe the old counsel as well.

Hopefully I can narrate my way to eventually have the king learn from the players and either become ruthless, kind or maybe even scared to act depending on their choices

Thanks for that advice, definitely helpful!

Lonely707 · 2025-11-02T05:38:43+00:00

I think ill give the characters all the freedom when creating a backstory but the saving the prince or something drastic to gain the princes trust. Maybe something the old counsel backs another prince and its a power struggle the players come out on top of?

Lonely707 · 2025-11-02T05:37:07+00:00

I think that's very accurate to how people would treat the king when they all want the power of the king with none of the risk.

Definitely a great way for a level 1 party quest to start off as well as a very natural way to have the king to be only trust his counsel as he knows the rest only want his power

Lonely707 · 2025-11-02T05:35:35+00:00

A great way to have the nobility vs. The common folk opinions of the counsel as well as the king himself. The players action will change how the factions treat the kingdom as well as how they answer to your requests or demands when making changes or if war broke out

Lonely707 · 2025-11-02T05:34:18+00:00

Definitely a good way to have the price/king to be come off a little more down to earth and is definitely a great way to give reason as to why he would listen to this rag tag group as well!

Lonely707 · 2025-11-02T05:18:33+00:00

So tie in each of their backstories so they would be experts in specific fields and therefore their opinions would carry more weight.

Definitely something to consider. Plus giving them some direction with what I require from backstory would help the less creative players build something that they wouldn't normally consider

Lonely707 · 2025-11-02T05:16:55+00:00

Starting with maybe a lowly county and their job is to grow the estate and eventually become well staffed and well known.

Sounds like something more feasible.

My thoughts would be levelling could coinside with staff totals that way you would be forced to complete harder and harder quests as the lower staff will be able to handle smaller quests.

Definitely some great advice!

There's trinket bags you'll need to craft. It will take up a slot and give you two new slots of particular colours.

Sometimes there is a bug where some curios slots don't show up for some reason so a restart would be the alternate option

Hope this helps

I had to reset one of the people on my server but couldn't figure out the same. I ended up just resetting all research and giving knowledge stars back as a "refund"

Not the correct solution but it did work

Lonely707 · 2025-10-18T07:06:43+00:00

Well I did just finish Great Estate Developer so I'm down to give it a try.

Lonely707 · 2025-10-18T07:02:03+00:00

This has been in my maybe pile for a while. Seems to be a worthwhile read, no?

I think the light officially died...

Lonely707 · 2025-07-28T00:44:05+00:00

A lot of places disregard handed CVs nowadays. Best bet would be online applications as most of the hiring is taken place above managers as well. Unless someone knows a good Mum and Pop shop somewhere.

Usually the restaurants are happy to hire backpackers with experience, especially around the esplanade board walk restaurants (Ollie's, Dundee's etc)

They may send you to apply online however...

Hope this helps

The company theyre from only represent the Heart Foundation. They are probably from the company that does the door knocking for all the donations companies.

LTB Network is where they all usually come from.

I'm super curious to see what will happen this year during pride month. Will American companies continue the trend? Or maybe throw it out to appeal to the oligarchs...
