Is there a cannibalize ability? Kinky Germans are also into that kind of stuff.

Halford and sser for guaranteed incline, Henkel for possible drama lulz but also cause the man deserves another chance.

Hasn't written for a game since 2002? If so, that's probably a good thing.

Nice low-key Kickstarter video. Fits the mood and audience I think.
Why doesn't running into hostiles on the world map trigger an encounter?

You wanted an update? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ceresgames/realms-beyond-ashes-of-the-fallen/posts/2319403
Micro Update #1
Hi everyone,
we’re just over 48 hours into our campaign and we've reached an unbelievable ONE THIRDof our goal. And that's all thanks to you, our brilliant 883 backers!
We can't thank you all enough, really, BIG THANKS to everyone. It has been such a busy past couple of days, but we are overwhelmed by the support we have received from fans, friends and fellow developers. Especially the support of fans of classic RPGs means a lot to us. We’re humbled by all your comments and questions on the campaign page, your many mentions and tweets and posts on social media. We’re trying to reply to every one of them, even if it takes a bit longer at the moment as we’re working around the clock.
We’re almost ready for a content update, but in the meantime, we’d like to share with you how the journey started. Enjoy the stunning concept artworks of Robert Andreas Drude.
We will keep you posted on all developments. It'd be amazing if you could keep spreading the word.
Many thanks for all your support!

Blame the Victorian hacks who started the decline
The Last Chronicle of Barset: The Chronicles of Barsetshire, By Anthony Trollope, 1867
After his death, Trollope's Autobiography appeared and was a best-seller in London. Trollope's downfall in the eyes of the critics stemmed largely from this volume. Even during his writing career, reviewers tended increasingly to shake their heads over his prodigious output, but when Trollope revealed that he strictly adhered to a daily writing quota, and admitted that he wrote for money, he confirmed his critics' worst fears. Writers were expected to wait for inspiration, not to follow a schedule.

As trends in the world of the novel moved increasingly towards subjectivity and artistic experimentation, Trollope's standing with critics suffered. But Lord David Cecil noted in 1934 that "Trollope is still very much alive... and among fastidious readers." He noted that Trollope was "conspicuously free from the most characteristic Victorian faults". In the 1940s, Trollopians made further attempts to resurrect his reputation; he enjoyed a critical renaissance in the 1960s, and again in the 1990s. Some critics today have a particular interest in Trollope's portrayal of women—he caused remark even in his own day for his deep insight and sensitivity to the inner conflicts caused by the position of women in Victorian society.
Recently, interest in Trollope has increased. A Trollope Society flourishes in the United Kingdom, as does its sister society in the United States. In 2011, the University of Kansas' Department of English, in collaboration with the Hall Center for the Humanities and in partnership with The Fortnightly Review, began awarding an annual Trollope Prize. The Prize was established to focus attention on Trollope's work and career.
Notable fans have included Alec Guinness, who never travelled without a Trollope novel; the former British Prime Ministers Harold Macmillan and John Major; the first Canadian Prime Minister, John A. Macdonald; the economist John Kenneth Galbraith; the English judge Lord Denning; the American novelists Sue Grafton, Dominick Dunne and Timothy Hallinan; the poet Edward Fitzgerald; the artist Edward Gorey, who kept a complete set of his books; the American author Robert Caro; the playwright David Mamet and the soap opera writer Harding Lemay.

"I am an old man now."
Is this 10/10 writing or what? JarlFrank you wrote dis?
Made me think of this:
I’d ask you to stop being retarded, but that’s a tall order.
EDIT: If it’s not clear Bester is just trying to cause butthurt. Heed him no mind and don’t give him attention. He’ll hate it.
Please.

"I am an old man now- very fast going away from all those I love here" sounds literally poetic compared to "I am an old man now, I love ships, hurr, and the white walls of the city".
The first one establishes a personal tragedy. The second one is blunt exposition & purple prose 101.
