But that isn't how it works - you cannot only cut things from a story and expect it to be coherent. That doesn't mean that they have necessarily made great decisions, of course not. And no one is under any obligation to enjoy the show or agree with any changes made. Things like Steppin being added to illustrate the Warder bond when there was already so much time spent on Lan and Moiraine seems a strange decision to me. The whole concept of the show with a greater role for Moiraine for example meant that changes at least in perspective were coming. I don't think it works that if you are selling a certain pitch in terms of seasons that you can just go back on that and actually plan 50% more seasons. I would imagine, not being an expert myself admittedly, that one of the things that helps getting future seasons greenlit is appearing to be complying with what has been already agreed. The show definitely has issues, I cannot see how even the most ardent fan of it would not admit this. But no matter how much of a "purist" anyone is, you still have to accept that these matters are subjective opinion. There was never any chance of a completely faithful adaptation, there is nowhere near enough time allotted or budget. My hopes were that the show would be able to convey the same themes (and of course in art, we can all take and prioritise different themes, such as for me the supernatural was never a main theme - everything is about human behaviour, so me and Flinn_Myth take very different things out of the book there) and broad thrust of the story, while also being entertaining TV sprinkled with the iconic scenes from the book. And for me they have partially managed this, and have managed to create an enjoyable experience.

House

1 or 4?

Sorry, used the wrong term. Must have been translating in my head, lol.

Works for me 🙂

Ask about cleansing?

Speak some more?

We do however see a near unending procession of people with completely unrealistic expectations who are bitter that these expectations have been so cruelly dashed. I totally understand the disappointment; however I will never understand the expectations that people have for a planned series of eight seasons of eight episodes. I will never understand the unwillingness to understand the difficulties involved. And nor will I ever understand the willingness to personally attack those involved with the show.

Morning

2…or 3?

Scum

Trying to talk has generally worked before. Seems rather low risk as well.

Axe

Down

No worries 🙂 Was just checking my phone wasn't reorganzing the order of the votes or something silly like that.

Just as well some is. I approve 🙂 Though didn't we vote to talk to Kerin like Nyra told us to, not talk to Nyra? This works too though, Nyra obviously well worth the gold crown we paid for her. Maybe we shouldn't mention that when she is around though.

Nyra is the boss of us.

Fuse? Normally in this type of game I play characters that hit things with sharp and/or blunt implements to resolve interpersonal conflicts. All this magic stuff goes over my head a bit.

Happy to go along with the suggestion.

Villainous

Food and a pack seems good, not sure about any of the rest.

The Forged pack gives an extra slot and is waterproof. Which kind of implies our current pack is not. Though maybe it is also using double negative Pirate mind tricks on us to sell more packs *shrugs*

And now there are DEX stats as well as WILL? Really is ramping up the complexity, lol. Maybe we should also buy a waterproof pack as we get an extra inventory slot which is something else I had not realised was a thing. Be useful for all the rations Turin wants to buy.

And our pack is not waterproof? That could be a problem, well, if it rains or something. Hitting things hard sounds like fun.

Do we want to fiddle with the soulmark? Or just go shopping first for shiny things?
