Hey Good Folks of the Forum,
I am incorporating a "history" section of the action chart that not only tracks all of LW's battles (per book, and through the whole campaign/all books), but also keeps track of his path through the books(which sections visited).
Instead of a very uninformative and boring list of section numbers, I thought it would be fun to have a sentence or two (maybe three, if it's summarizing a *long* section) describing what happened in each section LW visits. Kind of like a travel log or journal.
e.g. (In the travel history tab)
Book 1
1 - Vowed revenge on Darklords for Kai massacre. Set out to find and warn the King.
141 - Warned by Sixth Sense to avoid main paths around monastery.
333 - Avoided Kraan by cutting through forest growth.
131 - Found young magician being attacked by Giaks in ancient ruins.
302
285 - Killed Giak by throwing rock.
325 - Frightened away Giaks and saved the young wizard.
349 - Befriended the wizard, Banedon. Learned of Vonotar the Traitor's betrayal of the Magician's Guild.
etc.
It really wouldn't be hard to come up with concise, descriptive summaries, but for even just 1 book, that's 350 of them. for all 20 books, its > 7000! I just can't do it alone. So here's my call for help!
If you are interested in helping, please state so in this thread. I am happy to accept any amount of help. As people volunteer their efforts, I will keep track of who is summarizing which sections in the next post. If you want to help, you can look there to see if there are sections/books that don't have anyone summarizing them yet, and volunteer accordingly.
All significant contributors will get a mention in the credits page for Seventh Sense. (summarizing 50 or more sections qualifies as significant.)
Please follow the writing style as shown in the above example. (Past tense, incomplete sentences (understood 1st person), concise, etc.) As head of the Seventh Sense project, I reserve the right to modify any submissions, for stylistic consistency/grammatical correction, etc.
I would like to be able to copy and paste your submissions into a single large text file, so please submit them to me as either a plain text email, PM, or you can post them here in this thread. It will be most efficient for me if you will follow the format shown below (and put entries in numerical order):
(Section number in square brackets) (space) (summary text) (carriage return)
That sort of thing. Okay, let me know if anything's unclear, and if you'd like to help!
P.S. It would also be helpful, if in sections that contain combat, you list the stats on the enemy: like so
Thanks!
