Party Banter Meme

[faderifting]

In the Dragon Age games, as you travel Thedas with your best pals, they have a lot of short conversations about politics, the weather, butts, etc. So this is the Fade Rift equivalent, in four easy steps!

1. Imagine your characters are on a very long walk toward a mission objective, or on a very long walk back after kicking ass, or standing guard together, or gathering herbs, or working in the library late at night, or something. Anything sort of boring that might make people want to have a dumb conversation just to break things up a bit.

OPTIONAL ASSISTANT: Since so many people reported being out of it, we made a random generator to help you come up with some general banter prompts for your top-levels.

2. Post a few remarks your character might say (similar to TFLN, except spoken out loud and less ridiculous and sexy, maybe. maybe not. we don’t know your life) while passing the time.

3. Tag around to reply to those general remarks or to start new/wildcard conversations! Threads should be pretty short and involve minimal action; there’s no need to turn anything into a big production. Multiperson threads are encouraged. Series of conversations between the same two characters occurring on different days are also encouraged.

4. Gather up all of your little conversation snippets like a bouquet and keep them forever, because they’re game canon. Banter threads can't be used for Base AC, but do count towards AC Rewards points.

A standing army of men? Certainly not. But an army of coin works wonders in a conflict.

[justashotaway]

What if there are not enough people who wish to fight?

[unshut]

Then you simply haven't offered the right price yet.

[justashotaway]

That could become expensive.

[unshut]

Why, there is nothing more appealing to an Antivan. We all have exquisitely expensive taste, my dear.

[justashotaway]

What if the people you hire are not good at war?

[unshut]

And what if your ship is lost at sea with your fine export of silks, or your grapes wither on their vine before you can barrel the year's wine? Either you have enough capital to weather the challenge and afford further investment, or you do not.

[justashotaway]

What about the people without coin? Is it like Kirkwall?

[unshut]

I believe people without coin are more or less the same everywhere.

[justashotaway]

...Yes. They are, aren't they.
