Here are today's "Jefferson" project forum highlights. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context.

J.E. Sawyer, Lead Designer

Quote: The designers' ideas on what is, say, Neutral Evil and the players' ideas might be wildly different causing a large amount of frustration trying to keep your party together.

It's pretty rare that the CNPCs respond to "alignment"-oriented actions. They are more concerned with the types of behavior you display (e.g.: wild, vengeful, generous, etc.). Most actions defined as "friggin' psycho" will cause many CNPCs to attack the Protagonist, and most of the rest to leave the Protagonist's company.

Quote: I like this system. It has some serious potential for comedy.

I am hopeful that the "Bloodthirsty Idiot" epithet will make it into the game.

Female Characters: Well, I hope that the major female characters in Jefferson live up to your expectations (even if they don't live up to Ravel). Like the male characters, they run the gamut from childish shallow dopes to mature, introspective thinkers. At least, that's how I hope they come off.
