Okay, starting this thread so people can share any ideas or suggestions for things/topics/people/guilds/places/etc they'd like to see make an appearance in Krog's stories and the Ultimate Adventurer's Guide to Hyboria. Since most of you are higher level than I'll ever be, you get to see a lot more of Hyboria than I do...thus, I could use some suggestions and things to pick on with the Guide. You can get a feel for the humor/style the subjects will be written as by checking out Krog's story in the IC section.

Suggestions don't have to be specific at all, just anything you'd like to see make an appearance. Meet a quirky character in-game? Find an NPC worthy of writing about in the Guide? Find a place that boggles the mind? Have an incident you want immortalized? Brag enough and it might make a cameo. Just keep in mind that, while the Guide may be silly, it is still all done IN-CHARACTER (with the exception of the Real Heroes of Genius). Part of the fun of the UAG is touching on OOC issues in an IC way. Also, while it IS in-character, it should taken lightly. Remember that if I write thing into Krog's story of the UAG, it doesn't make it truth. The things in the Guide are as the editors of the Guide interpret them.

There will be two ways I will use suggestions...1) In Krog's story itself, and 2) in a separate post I will make that is 100% UAG2H entries. I don't know exactly how I'm going to do that though. I want to make a post for each new entry to give people a chance to respond to each on, but I don't want to spam the boards either. We'll see how it goes.

Here are some examples of things I plan to touch on:
* Lag (entry: "Time is so NOT on my side")
* Plat farmers (entry: "Sudden soul death syndrome")
* Methods of making money
* Warriors in heavy armor (entry: Grandma got ran over by a warrior)
* The importance of a fork
* People who type with no periods (entry: "Longest sentence ever")
* Random portals/spawn points
* The Up Place

And a lot more. Post away! Always looking for more things to touch on.

I'm all for bringing lore into game mechanics. (It's a great example of how to RP mechanics.)

• NPCs walking through objects and people: [title]
• Repeating quests completed by other people and the respawn of mobs and (mini)bosses: [title]
• Zoning: [title]
• Demon Picts (Bat) running around randomly when aggroing: [title]
• Nobody ever cleaning up the horse poo quest helper in Old Tarantia: [title]

There's more, but I'm too tired. (I'd be more okay if it was because I didn't sleep from playing AoC, but sadly, it's only because I couldn't sleep when I tried.)

Hmmm, I think I manage some of that. *smiles* Good ideas.
