Proposal: Descriptions and History

self-killed—Yoda

Adminned at 15 Jul 2008 20:28:46 UTC

Add a sub-rule to rule 2.10 “Character Sheets” titled “Description” with the following text:

Each Adventurer may optionally have a block of flavor text called the Description that describes what that Adventurer looks like.  Any Adventurer may edit his own Description at any time.

Add a sub-rule to rule 2.10 “Character Sheets” titled “History” with the following text:

Each Adventurer may optionally have a block of flavor text called the History that describes the history of that Adventurer.  Any Adventurer may edit his own History at any time.

Hmm…I like it save that while I love the idea of the history being…mutable (representing the changing story of the character) the description might need some limitations of some sort…not that it truly matters :P

imperial And what does flavor text mean, according to the ruleset?  Does it mean that it has no effect on the game?

My history could easily say that I achieve victory in this dynasty.

“Italicized text is not considered part of proposals or the ruleset and may be used to clarify proposals or rules with examples, notes, and flavor text.”

This tells me that flavor text has no effect on gamestate.  Please let me know if this is not correct.
