Question: Can I interject real-world references IC? I'd like to throw in a few nods to video games or movies. Not in a blatantly obvious way, like mentioning the Dragonborn or Gondor, or memes (like "arrow to the knee" or "But it is not this day"), and certainly not in every post. Just subtle references that don't detract from the situation/scene.

Or is this going to be "serious business" and we'll have none of that?

@Mattchstick Depends on the situation I would say, there are going to be some pretty grim and (hopefully) dramatically tense moments and a tongue in cheek/obvious reference would probably not be the best place for this. But if its non-intrusive/its not a serious point in the story, go for it.

I mean the opening OOC post has a couple of references to other pieces of literature as it is.

Also, I am now writing the IC post. Sorry for the delay...

Well yeah, I'm not going to throw off a tense or dramatic moment with a reference. Heck, they'll probably only be references that I understand.

Ey up, that turned into more of a wall of text than I expected - you don't need to try and match me for word count lol

Anyway, if people want/need more guidance on what to write, ask away.

I know everyone is excited about posting. I will hold off until either tomorrow and Friday. That way I can comment on what others write as well; without metagaming of course. ;)

@KassarockCan I assume Cedric is a forager? You said "foraging parties," so are there other members I should be meeting up with?

@Mattchstick You can be a forager if that's what you want to do.

I'm leaving it up to people what exactly they want to do for this first day, those were just some suggestions

Baldric's perceptions of your character...

Cedric Amberstone Cedric is young, which in Baldric’s experience is a liability. His unnecessary cheerfulness rubs him the wrong way too. Cedric is someone Baldy has his eye on. He needs to see what the young man is capable of.

"Sir" Wulfric York Baldric sees what Wulfric does. He appears to be a stron asset to the company appreciating his work. Baldric is unaware of “Sir” Wulfric’s lineage. He suspects something about him, but his general quiet demeanor and hard work speak volumes about his character.

Brádach 'The Piper' MacShana Baldric respects Bradach’s wisdom and years of experience. Bradach’s stories are very entertaining. They have captivated Baldy for years. The old man could have gone home at anytime. They both know it. The fact he has remained with the Company as long as he has speaks volumes about his character.

Gerard Gast With all young men in the Company, Gerard needs to prove his mettle to Baldric Durant. He perceives a false bravado or confidence the young man uses to camouflage his fears. Baldric believes that façade is a waste of time. He would prefer the young man be honest with everyone. Although Gerard can be overwhelming, Baldric does not mind the young man’s questions. He seems to follow him around like a little puppy sometimes.

I went ahead and made a relationships tab for Cedric as well. Subject to change, no doubt.

Oh hey, @Dziady, do me a favor and remind me to tell you about a nasty cavalry trap we can set up. It's really simple (all you need is a shovel) and, it sets my teeth on edge just thinking about it.

Ah, dang it. I was just about to mention how glad I was that no one had posted a wall of text after the initial IC. Then I got to @Jbcool's post. Haha. I hope everyone maintains 4-5 paragraphs for now, it's an absolute joy to read. In one of my previous RPs (High Casual), someone posted 20 paragraphs at once.

20 paragraphs. And they were big ones. Can't say I read it. Asked OOC if people wouldn't mind writing smaller posts and the response was something like "whaaa why would you say that."
