A brush with fate - Comments

Post by Zilfer »

Not sure if anyone wanted to comment but I figured I'd throw it up just in case. :P I won't say I'm the best writter but I gave it a pretty good shot, and didn't go to bad for writing it half before the deck and half after getting it in the mail. Though I wrote most of it at work where constant interuptions interupts creative flow I must tell you. :P

Nice job Zilfer. I like your writing style. It read pretty quickly. I always loved Madame Eva....I assume that was the Zarovan character reading the Tarot cards. If you keep it going I'll keep reading.

I did a little bit of writing on here two if you care to check it out (of Heroes in The Mists). I could use some feedback. I myself make no claims at being a writer, but it can be fun.

Yeah mostly do it for fun. Just small blurb cutscenes. I'm not sure my players take them to heart or anything but it adds a bit of background I thinks. :D Gives me a better feel, and yeah it's supposed to be Madame Eva though I have very little of her personality to draw upon I did my best. xD

The cutscene this describes has yet to be plundered in my game thus far. :D

Other than being maddeningly obtuse, detached from reality, and emotionally distant (as in, I-know-everything-about-you-even-things-you-don't-know distant), I don't think Madame Eva has ever gotten much detailing personality wise. It's just as well; she's exempt from Ravenloft's influences on magic, powers checks, and even time itself. That's got to make a person a little strange.

Why does that remind me of the joker's line.... "What doesn't kill you just makes you.... Stranger..."
