I'm curious what story elements other people have found in their play-throughs

The Heroes in Uniform and bootlegging themes are pretty easy to obtain through event, but i'm curious what other story elements people have encountered by having their writers research them. I've found the Sheriff protagonist and the Criminal Gang antagonist. For themes I've found Crime of Necessity, and for finales I've found a marriage ending and a Protagonist Finds Love ending. There was also a point where looking through freelance screenplays and saw one had a Soldier protagonist (which gives me some hope we'll get to make war movies at some point in the game.)

Well, the only one i found was an Outsider protagonist

For themes:1.There's no escape 2.Run away
For villains:1.Rogue pirate 2.Darkwarcer

Don't know if it is somewhat weighted because I kept discovering the same ones. But I had the following: Evil Wizard, Heartless Bureaucrat, Soldier, Protagonist Finds Love, Protagonist Gets Married, Pirate, Crime of Necessity. From the preview pics you can see that there are dozens more in the game. Horror genre for example isn't all in the game yet although you can see in the previews that it will be with a lot of stuff.

I suppose that, since we're playing a demo set in the early days of the talkies, we all find the same elements.

If you accept suggestions that a cop and an irish drunkards give you in two events, you also have the themes "heroes in uniform" and something involving alcohol

How did you all unlock more themes and elements? I've unlocked the function for it... but no idea where to make my writers make new ones.

You go into your writing department and look at your writers. There should have a magnifying glass button for each of them if you've researched the tech for it. Press that button on one of your writers and then they'll take a certain number of days to attempt to discover a new element.

It should be a bit further down on their card.

Found it.

Things I founded in my current playthrough (I still have about a year until the end) are:

Protagonist: Soldier, Outcast, Sheriff, Wayward Soul
Antagonist: Pirate, Heartless Bureaucrat, Evil Sorcerer
Supporting:
Themes and Events: Alcohol -- The Spirit of Freedom, Heroes in Uniforms, Generational Conflict
Finale: Protagonist Finds Love, Couple Gets Married
Setting:

However in previous runs I got some other stuff (I definitely remember Gang and Runaway; I even think that I had Runaway in this one but I rerolled it during one of the save-load shenanigans) and some of those mentioned above but never got all of them in a single playthrough yet. I'm more and more convinced there is a hard cap for total number of new story elements you can discover in a particular run chosen randomly from the pool (which also has more elements than the cap is), at least in this demo.

Have you looked in the json files in the config folders? I'm not sure if the devs are having a laugh with some of the content in there :D

Tons of themes etc. but I really hope that these protagonists and antagonsists get in :D

"PROTAGONIST_VAMPIRE_S***-SUCKER"
"PROTAGONIST_GIRL_WITH_A_SWEARING_VAGINA_WITH_TURRET_SYNDROME"

"ANTAGONIST_HEADLESS_MIDGETS_HYPNOTISTS"
"ANTAGONIST_WOMENS_BOOK_CLUB_OF_CANNIBALS" - my favourite :D

LMAO !!
