o
I’m a fan of fantasy books and RPG games so one
of my main goals was to get this rag-tag party together. Of course this party
is unlike any party I’ve ever read about or played in a game.
o
I had a deep fascination with the Ancestral
Lands in the game. Even though they turned out to be mostly featureless and
barren criss-crossing streets I still wondered what it was about them that
caused such a strong reaction in Glitchen. Having Wonder visit the Ancestral
Lands was another discarded plot point. At first I wanted to put the object of
a quest somewhere out there, but then
later the idea evolved into having Wonder seek out Juju Grandma for
guidance or some other reason. In the end I decided against it. The Ancestral
Lands have their own story about the end of their world; it wasn’t necessary to
tie it into this one.
o
I expect Magic Rock would be the most upset at
the thought of the rocks losing their voices.
o
So, this exchange takes place on Maaku Mills in
Tahli. I know there are no Paper Trees there; I don’t believe there are any
paper trees anywhere in Tahli, but having Wonder sit under a Paper Tree paints
a much nicer picture than having Wonder sit under a Bean Tree or an Egg Plant.
Plus I loved the Paper Trees, so I took some artistic license.
o
I’m pretty sure I had another Purple reference
ready for this section, but it felt out of place so it got cut.
o
Every party needs a quest or else it’s just a
group of friends hanging out, which rarely makes for a compelling story.
