Cass:
mere “hand-waving” of the individual party member meetings with the individual trainers for each class
Yes, let's do that. I'll update that list so you know where the known trainers are.
Cass:
we need some guidance from The Host as to whether that is necessary or recommended.
It's optional. I would probably hit those locations for variety after forays into the manor. That's what this game is ultimately about. Emperor was a puzzle-solving, RP opportunity.
cass:
How is Barton Fink a day late and a dollar short? The group deciphered your 2nd set of clues immediately after they were given. If the puzzle is closed, why give us more clues to research?
This is a fair question. I think I would just say that the 2nd set of clues, the room description, was tantamount to providing the answer. In my estimation, they weren't a 2nd set of clues. The first set included:
Dusty palms
Ringing of the bell
Chester's entrance from below
Chester -> Chet
Trans vs. Res
Chester's card
Barkeep's label
Chester's purplish fingernails
Maybe others? I don't remember.
I was happy to see John Tururro in
Severance until I realized how vapid and poorly written Severance was and stopped watching it.
This isn't the sort of game we will play all that often :).
Emperor of Curd is a play on "The Emperor of Ice Cream"
