Plotting!

PLOT DISCUSSION
(derp, sorry for lateness...)


TRAINER TIPS:
→ This is for general, game-wide or location-wide plots, larger-scale player plots, and general plotting ideas. This is not a CR meme.
→ The idea of this post is to help generate discussion, inspire, or plot out overall plots, as well as bounce ideas off of your fellow players and moderators. We will also be letting everyone know the overall ideas of what we'll have coming up, and you can give us input on those as well!
→ Please play nice while discussing things! Remember, it's okay to disagree, but be polite!
enjoymyatelier: maybe he should check the foundations, come to think of it. (red car. good point.)

.....you know that is probably more true than you even realize.

I mean. it's explicitly mentioned somewhere in the canon materials that the reason all the extant countries have a crapton of magic, is because over the course of centuries of warfare and competition, all the countries who had inferior magic were wiped out. So. Yes. :Db
enjoymyatelier: actually, it totally will. (aha! a plan that will not end in failure)

hahahaha snap

So is there like... magical espionage and shit? Because that sounds incredibly boss. I may have to check this thing out. Are there any smug middle-aged men whose souls are crushed over the course of the series?
lightningbearer: (standard :| expression)

Well there presumably is, though it isn't touched on as much in the series. The hunting down of people who leave a country with its magical secrets without permission (caleld "taboo breakers") comes up plenty though.

And idk does arrogant nobleman side characters who occasionally get slaughtered in terrible ways count? Though really pretty much all the main cast has TERRIBLE lives and the nasty characters are... really nasty in ways that make you go "did they seriously just go there..." so. :D

Oh man, that sounds pretty sweet. Maybe I will have to check it out.
lightningbearer: (softer view)

I would HIGHLY recommend it, it's seriously one of the best fantasy anime series that's been out in a while. Just, y'know, if you're not immediately hooked, give at least through the first three episodes. Trust me. :)
enjoymyatelier: things are good (birds are singing)

Well, you know what they say about the three episode test...!
lightningbearer: (scissors!)

[personal profile] lightningbearer 2012-08-17 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. |D
