Tried that. It wouldn't let me transfer food to a container.

It's been covered on GameBanshee and RPGWatch; can't speak for the others. What I've seen of it looks good.

No ogres or zombies in my crew. Just good folks who run a clean, healthy ship.

I don't know about rigged, but the system makes absolutely no logical sense. If I take out the enemy sails, it still says the enemy ship is moving. I've had the ships pointed in opposite directions and yet they remain at the same range from each other. I guess they're circling each other? If I fire enough grapeshot to butcher the entire crew many times over, the enemy almost instantly recovers and keeps firing with the same efficacy. If I break contact then quickly re-engage, the enemy is completely repaired. It's getting silly.

Yeah, my Kind Wayfarer Paladin character is positively nauseous at this point.

I don't want to sell it; just dump it. How do I do that? I can't move food from the stash to my personal inventory.

After a few naval battle's I'm starting to think that an approach using scaled-down version of the world map interface would be more enjoyable for the maneuvering aspects. The text-only interface quickly loses its appeal.

Well that's the IT industry for ya. Most people don't stay in one place for too long.

Character skinning test for the SOAR project:

Unfortunately this style of game is a bit of a niche market. Still, it should succeed given the expected last minute surge.

Depends where you are. Montana issues permits for salvaging dead deer, elk, moose, and antelope. It's a pretty common sight driving through the state. I knew a guy who lived off the road kill there.

I took me watching soccer for a few years to realize just how much standing around there is in American Football. There's maybe 8 seconds of action, followed by half a minute of endless replays, lawyer-like referee reviews, and commercials. I've talked to other people who follow games like hockey and they share the opinion. If you want to make Football fun to watch again, reduce the clock duration and cut down on the multitude of rules violations and reviews.

Premade Characters Characters can now be imported to use on various playthroughs through Deadfire. Characters can be chosen in character creation, or by visiting taverns and recruiting them as Adventurers Q. Can these include prebuilt characters from other players that have custom background stories? Can one build higher level characters with custom build paths and unique icons? Can they have unique sound sets? Thanks.

"Micro" update #3 announced the first stretch goal as a world map by an artist named Francesca Baerald: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ceresgames/realms-beyond-ashes-of-the-fallen/posts/2323380 I checked out her web site and she's produced some pretty authentic-looking medieval maps for fantasy settings: http://www.francescabaerald.com/maps/
