@vicky_molokh Unless the King is a down-to-earth but wise and dangerous ranger who wants to reclaim their birthright from an illegitimate hereditary stewardship of Gondor or something
@kviiri That's exactly an example of 'is just better than fellow adventurers', having as many points spent on Ranger stuff as other adventurers on their stuff, and then also a lot of points on Heir (to Gondor etc. etc.).
@kviiri My favorite adventurer-king is Fflewddur Fflam, son of Godo.
He says it's a very small kingdom, so small that they didn't mind at all when he decided to go off and become a bard without giving the kingship to someone else, because there wasn't enough to administer that it actually needed a king in the first place.
The college of bards flunked him out. The Chief Bard took pity and gave him a magical harp that always stays in tune... but a string breaks every time he tells a lie. Fflewddur spends more time repairing the strings than playing them.
...My second-favorite adventurer-king is Bran Davies, the son of Arthur and Guinevere, brought forward by Merlin to grow up in the mid-20th century. He's a reluctant hero who just wants to be normal and ordinary, because as an albino orphan he's never been considered either. Also he has a dog that can see the wind.
@kviiri before that, as far as I know, the two 2d games were basically Turrican clones (and some claim clones with stolen assets too). It is my understanding that the 3D game was the real start of the downward spiral - females as objects, toilet humor, bad jokes...
@Derpy Run and gun, yes. I never played the first one much but I think the second one was quite good. The graphics were neat and there was a bunch of cool environments to adventure in.
@trogdor Re: Stellaris, have you been watching the news on the upcoming DLC, Federations?
@trogdor "and for all of you folks that loved the End of The Cycle, we decided to port the Seek Mr. Eaten Name quest from Fallen London to Stellaris!" (:P obviously a joke)
@Gwideon Oh, since you have a phoneme table and are writing words, it's probably a good idea to document the general expected orthographic depth and/or any common mappings between sounds and written symbols. E.g. whether zh conventionally means the ʒ and/or ʐ sounds, or should it be read literally, or something else.
Wait, that's . . . essentially what the sound chart is doing.
@Gwideon I think I'm not good at generating or evaluating vocabulary ideas on a practical level. But on a more theoretical level, I think it's good to focus on the commonly used terms - house, furniture, counting, food, clothing (or similar accessories), movement, common work etc.
meta.stackexchange.com/q/338655/622332 but this post does seem to exist so yay. probably has a bunch of crap beneath it. It's sad that I expect that now.
it is on youtube though. also there's some indications that the show might be coming back. It's mostly rumors but it would be so cool if they were true
@Rubiksmoose Yeah, it seemed like the existing answers were kind of glossing over that part of the comparison. The user who got banned on Wikipedia was orders of magnitude more problematic than even the most scathing accusations against Monica accused her of being.
