Over Thanksgiving I sketched out Talc and Gurman. Here's digital tracings of them.

Gurman
Talc

I'm still mulling over the Game Time/ X Posts rate on Meta traits

For play by post, I think "by post" usually turns out better, but it does make the advantage absent in abridged time, which is wonky in it's own way. I've always been fond the game time+selectivity behavior, and really think it makes sense for meta-advantages as a default. Just MHO.

Awesome. Thanks. I mean, they're meant to be as much Berber as Arab, but Arabic is still relevant here.

I agree by post is usually better. Refreshing automatically each day is a pretty substantial upgrade though, especially for someone like Julian.

So with his own slate of monarchies ruled by his relatives or did he go with dependent republics?

lol. Good question. Monarchies ruled by relatives, with a heavy dose of napoleonic law reform. I'm calling the old regimes "Monarchist" but that's not really a good distinguishing trait, now is it?

I'm kinda feeling a little bit of a sophomoric rambunctiousness stirring in Peter.

He's trying to take a big bite of something he has no idea if he can chew.

Maybe Kumar brings out the outlaw in him.

As opposed to stopping two interconnected cross-dimensional wars?

I guess the difference is that he's poking this bear just for the fun of it! Angst free!
