Asherons Call: Frelorn's Weekly Update

In an illness-delayed update, Frelorn talks about possible Elder Game content, as well as a possible comic book-style teaser:

Weekly Update 12/12/06

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello and welcome to the late because I am sick edition of the Weekly Update for the week of December 11, 2006! Based on some recent feedback I am going to try a slightly different format for this particular update.

So this week I want to give you all some insight as to what we have been discussing over the last few weeks in various meetings we have had. This will be done of course, without going into too much detail. We don't want to give away everything in one little post, now do we?

So, one thing that has been coming up a lot in our discussions recently has been an Elder Game System. Everyone here is in total agreement this is some type of Elder game needs to be done as soon as we can. One idea was to make the system in some way tie in with allegiances and making them have an important role in how this system works. As always, we will discuss things more as we get closer to actually doing the work on this. The feedback we get from the players will be a valuable tool we plan to use as much as possible in designing something that is fun for everyone involved. I want to be very clear that this subject is still in the very, very early stages of discussion.

We have also seen that a lot of folks were big fans of the Comic Style teaser that was released for the Reign of Terror event. Right now art time is a bit tight, but we are trying to find a way to possibly get something like this done for the next big story arc. Along the lines of art we are also in the process of trying to get some new art assets for the web. To be used in things like online ads, and possibly a new website template or two. If we do decide to go with the comic book teaser, I will let everyone know ahead of time. Possibly with a teaser of the teaser!

On a side note I have been very glad to see that the art of debating an issue without insulting people is not dead. Case in point is this thread. Who said the art of civil debate was dead?

Well that's about it for this week. Please remember all things discussed in this update are by no means set in stone and plans could change at any time based on our work load and direction.

Have a great week and see you all in Dereth!
