Hehe. If you think the Eifralo are bad now, wait a couple game-years, when I hope to have u\s\e\d\ "pre-owned" ships to sell.

A question for my fellow Historians, and anyone else who's tried their hand at game fiction: what do you find to be the most difficult thing about writing game stories?

I have trouble ending a scene. I haven't been quite satisfied with where my Last two vignettes stopped, but I couldn't figure out where the dialog would go from there.

I'm glad this game is getting back on track. I'm looking forward to having some time to write some fiction connected to the game again.

To link what's happening in the game with the main plot I have in mind for my specie. To keep the plot running despite what others are doing.

The hardest thing about this game is trying to create interesting characters/plotlines. Since I'm not fighting for my life in this game, I have to be more creative than in the Remorhaz story!
