Hello everyone. Coming from the "better late than never" department, I offer you this summation of Fial's first Gathering from April 15, 2001. It's more heavily edited than my usual work, ie, I've smooshed Fial quotes from here and there into one place, left out a couple things I thought were repetitive, re-arranged the order, etc.
Also, usual message board policy dictates not putting up conversations from GMs, but since it was a public forum, I hope I'm not stepping on any toes. If the post gets yanked, I won't cry at my keyboard (unless it gets me an RPA, heh), I'll just re-do a summary sans quotes. --aka Mykk
***************************
FEET, FEET, FEET:
TOE RINGS: Fial says, "not right now, but maybe in the future, for toes wearing stuff. Setting up a slot like that is very difficult." Fial says, "but we'll see."
TOE WIGGLING: Fial nods.
FOOTHAIR STYLIST "MERCHANT": Fial says, "maybe."
WILL FOOTBRUSHES BE AVAILABLE AGAIN: Fial says, "yep."
FOOTWEAR: Fial nods. Fial says, "sort of like an ankle adornment or legwraps." Fial says, "no one is saying you can't wear shoes or boots. even I have when it has gotten extremely cold to protect my feet. But generally I prefer my feet bare." Fial says, "but that's me." Fial says, "its an idea, will explore the possibility."
POUCH WORN ON FOOT: Fial says, "noted, We'll look into it. Its a good idea."
TANNING AND FOOTWEAR: Fial says, "could happen." Fial says, "we'll have to bring that up with the ranger folk."
OLVI WHO WANT TO SHAVE FOOTHAIR: Fial says, "if we get a foot hair thing going on, that can happen. and Olvi who decide to wear some sort of shoe or boot, may have bald spots." Fial says, "where the footwear rubs off the hair."
HUMAN GUARD AT ARTHE DALE VILLAGE GATE: Fial says, "well there's this problem." Fial says, "its hard to keep an Olvi guard there." Fial says, "everyone we have had keeps wandering off."
SMOKING IMAGES: Fial says, "well I have this huge project I have been working on." Fial says, "its called alchemy/substances." Fial says, "Lots of pressure for me to get it done from all sides."
CITIZENSHIP: To summarize, Citizenship is not Fial's domain, but I gather Citizenship is a work-in-progress, so as it stands, Halflings and/or Arthe Dale MIGHT get something someday.
MORE SIZE-RELATED VERBS: Fial says, "good idea." Fial says, "I agree." Fial says, "unfortuantly most of the verbs are not my domain, so I have to get permission to fiddle with them, or ask to have them changed." Fial says, "and somethings seeming so simple are sometime not."
FRECKLES: Fial says, "there are a couple new verbs in the works, which you should see shortly, that I think you will approve of." Fial says, "its possible" Fial says, "but the cream would be like the anti-beard cream." Fial says, "if you depart, it needs to be reapplied."
WEAPON SIZE BEING RACE SPECIFIC: Rascalt says, "And for my last comment of the day, I've been plugging this with all the race champions and they LOVE the idea thus far... Weapons should feel different for different races, An ME should be HE for halflings, LE, ME, and we could have our own LE we share with gnomes, and our LE to togs and kaldar would be toothpicks, and 2HE would be like a 3 Olvi weapon."
Fial snorts, loudly. Fial says, "can't argue with you there."
Rascalt says, "Solomon said it was possible if there was enough interest." Rascalt grins. Rascalt says, "So I'm trying to spread interest amongst the race champions."
Fial says, "but until something drastic happens with combat, I don't see it happening." Fial says, "but as soon as we can do it, I'll push very hard for it." Fial says, "The weapon thing may happen, but most likely not. Should of been that way from the start, and it would be very very difficult to change it. But I can't rule out the possibilty." Fial says, "its not likely to happen anytime soon, but if it does, we'll figure something out to make it fair."
HALFLING QUARTERS IN EVERY CITY: Shaunn says, "Are there special quarters for Olvi in every major city? I know we're supposed to be everywhere" Shaunn says, "I haven't thought to look for it specifically"
Fial says, "almost every city." Fial says, "you look around you will find some Olvi living there." Fial says, "may not be defined as like Riverhaven."
RACE-RELATIONS WITH GOR'TOGS: Shaunn says, "I was wondering, the histories say we are supposed to be pretty close to the Gor'tog race, right? Like friendly and such"
Fial says, "yep" Fial says, "but there's exeptions to every rule." Fial says, "hopefully there will be some more books on that in the libraries."
Shaunn asks, "Is it possible for us to get some sort of special verbs in regards to them then?" Shaunn asks, "Maybe like wax their heads if they're sitting?"
Fial says, "we will discuss it with the race team and Tog gurus." Fial says, "but good idea."
OLVI SHOP: Fial nods.
LANGUAGE AND HISTORIES: Rascalt asks, "Language and Histories... The dwarves just got their books, is anything in the works for us?"
Fial says, "in the early planning stages." Fial says, "dwarves got that for a very good reason, which I can't dicuss here."
REGULAR MEETINGS: Fial says, "Ok. we're going to try to have some sort of meeting or event every six to eight weeks, but don't hold it to me."
NEW OLVI CHAMPION MORZY: Fial says, "Morzy is more on the events side, while I'm more on the coding side of things. Though we both cross the line some."
FIAL'S PRIORITIES: Fial says, "about 80 percent of my current effort is on alchemy and substances. Until thats working, thats my priority." Fial says, "once that is done, then I can do more Olvi related things."
MENU: On the tart cart you see an iced pitcher of cool taffelberry-flavored milk, a mushroom and bacon tart, a chocolate tart filled with cherry sauce, a creamy caramel pecan tart, a tutti frutti goblin warrior lollipop, a hogshead of chilled iceberry grog, a crispy taffleberry tart, a cherry tart dripping with gooey white frosting, a savory lobster tart, a sweet apple tart sprinkled with cinnamon, a candy troll-foot, a large ceramic tuilp-shaped bowl filled with frothy Tulip Julip punch, a sticky rum raisin tart, a savory venison tart with a spicy leek sauce in a flaky pastry crust and a savory sage and onion tart.
