Jan. 29th, 2022 11:55 pmWriting is all notes today and yesterday because I got the Curse of the Crimson Throne book out to see what the guys had been doing up to this point and then got distracted inventing things. Which would be useful if I was writing them up, but it dont make the right words go all in a row yet on the thing I'm already doing.
I want the characters to have just been living in a dangerous town for years, so I dont want the pace implied in the CotCC adventure path. I want them to take six years to get to level six, and that just isnt what adventure paths do. But, the first book has nothing to do with the plague that I want to leave out (yes very difficult when its central to the plot), you're just getting to know and care about Korvosa, so I reckon if I have the big incidents happen like two or three times a year instead of in one big week then it should work out. And I have an adventure for level 6 in Korvosa, but I think it mentions being set After? But I can see if that's ignorable.
Reckon in the early phase you can make a theme out of the drug based on dream spiders and going around fighting crime. So broadly, the guys work with but very much not for the Guards, and they stop corrupt guards and drug dealers. Cool.
... but I should really go rescue the main story from hell. soon...
