The writing for adventurer events is atrocious

[Shrike]

Typos, spelling errors and grammatical errors everywhere, in the haunted manor event the guide uses "y'all" for God knows what reason. Really jarring, immersion breaking writing. Unreal to think that someone got paid for this.

On some of these events, you can tell a middle aged Swedish man wrote them while thinking of an awesome medieval adventure and I'm here for it

Let me just "sidle" into your thread real quick and see if you have any secrets.

Yes - The new events are chock full of obvious typos that I am kind of baffled weren't caught by testers. :D

Such as? I don't read them that close or read to find typos. Have not noticed a "chock full of" typos. Since you were corrected on sidle got more? "Chock Full" would be all over the place every sentence or so if not every.

I don't really pay attention to spelling mistakes but I think I've noticed one or two too. They weren't big or funny enough for me to remember the specific mistake though

I have seen quite a few where it simply drops the name of a character out of an event, giving me something like: "King George and , are coming to court"

[Something completely different]

The spelling at least seems fine to me. The events do become very repetitive though as you progress in the game.

It'd be nice if there were more events (travel events included.)

My impression is more that they are written by a diverse and inclusive cast of millennials with only a very superficial interest in what medieval life and people were actually like.

So we end up with the king hitting the gym to buff up, or going to a spiritual yoga retreat in nature to reduce his stress.

Did I say "his" stress? I meant of course "their" stress. Sorry for any offence caused to any misgendered monarchs.

Insights are gleaned, not "gleamed."

I only wish that people would stop writing "tenant" when talking about faiths. Unless those tenets are paying rent, of course.

Well, then what'd you recommend they do?

They could respect the subject material and their audience enough to hire actual writers with some background to do their writing. Hiring an editor is also a bare minimum essential for any text-heavy project.

I once had a Dead Dude who had been dead for 5 years reciting poetry in the Court.

I have also had dead people ask me for stuff or were part of a decision. Those were after Royal Court came out.

The events get incredibly stale and repetitive after some time. It's a real shame

[Bordric]

Yeah well endless adventures are not possible. That would cost about 10000 dollars per copy to have someone make endless events for people.
