ericmoser

Good evening. -echoes-

ericmoser

I will just work on Downfall's bio for her RPG card....la dee dah

Anonymous

Good Morning. It's 3 am and I#m running on two cans of rockstar

ericmoser

It's 9 here, just put my youngest to bed and grabbed some coffee.

Anonymous

As always. Hey, I deserve it. I wrote 9k words with code for my thing

Anonymous

Hi tim

Anonymous

well, yesterday (for me) and the day before. I'm in flavortext hell right now

Anonymous

29k words of code... amounting to a read of 2k....

ericmoser

Ah, where you aren't really moving the story ahead any? Those are tough spots to get through.

Anonymous

Well, it's the intro of a bonus thing I'll have. So it's a lot of establishing the bonus MC

ericmoser

What kind of bonus content? Gated behind a stat or something else?

Anonymous

letting the player pick gender by picking another hero/villain to intract with was either the best or worst idea...

Anonymous

a bonus story, dtailing a big battle 10 years prior to th maingame

Anonymous

Dx i'm babbling, sorry

ericmoser

Ahhh I see. Hey it's good to toss in new ideas and see what works.

Anonymous

well, it works and I'm proud of it. it's just so much code right now

Anonymous

I am sir

ericmoser

29k code for 2k read? Damn that is intensive.

ericmoser

What's up with you, Tim?

Lilac

I'll be in and out here since I'm cleaning but hey.

Anonymous

Well, you can pick between playing as hero or villain, with 6 npcs from the gender choice and then another 6 small battles with the 6 other npcs

Hello lilac

ericmoser

Hey, Lilac! You dust away!

ericmoser

And each NPC is different??

Anonymous

Not too much. Just trying to stay cool and figure out dinner. Been looking forward to this, got sick right before the last one and I had to miss it.

Anonymous

oh no tim :(

ericmoser

Where are you in the world, Tim?

Anonymous

New York.

ericmoser

Awesome! I'd love to see NYC sometime soon. Whereabouts in NY?

ericmoser

Oh can I ask you folks your opinion on something?

Anonymous

oh, also the mc can pick from 65 superpowers /sidenote

Anonymous

of course

Anonymous

I'm a bit upstate, about 90 minutes or so north of the city, depending on traffic.

Lilac

Our opinion on 6 or 5? I'd say 5.

Anonymous

it would have been 64, then streetsmart reminded me that clairvoyancy's a thing

ericmoser

I'm down here in Louisville, KY home of the KY Derby (and marijuana and whiskey)

ericmoser

lol Lilac, I was stunned at 65 powers

ericmoser

So here's the question....

ericmoser

With next month being the 6th month for the Patreon page, I was considering doing a special promotion to hopefully bring in new people, perhaps something like giving a discount package for the RPG sheets to new Patrons whose payments go through in early Oct. But....I am worried about angering existing Patrons by doing something like this. So basically it's "how do I entice new people with discounts or special packages without hurting the feelings or angering the folks who have been supporting me since April?"

ericmoser

I am really struggling with this. I would love to do something special for all of you who have been consistent but I don't know what to do.

Anonymous

mhnnn.... discount for new, bonus (like more in depth info and trivia) on the sheets (so far) for old?

ericmoser

You mean two versions of the sheets?

Anonymous

yes. with the second page just trivia etc?

Anonymous

Won't bother me none. You're one of only two people I'm able to support and you've got to do right by you. Anything that gets you able to do more with this world that you've created and I'm able to hide in for awhile - that's good by me.

ericmoser

Well, that would be doable, since it would be mostly writing. I pay Adrienne Valdes a set amount for each sheet, but that's mostly for her layout and art.

ericmoser

I appreciate it at a lot, Tim. I really do. And I know some folks will probably feel that way too, but I also know some won't....

Anonymous

put it up for a poll later maybe?

ericmoser

Yeah maybe. I hesitate to make a huge deal out of it, though.

ericmoser

Let's give McCormick a few more minutes...I was thinking at least a half dozen people would participate but maybe not.

Lilac

I personally don't mind whatever you do.

ericmoser

Another quick question....do the short stories hold any appeal, or do you think it's time better spent on other stuff? I love doing them, but I'm not sure if the demand is really there.

ericmoser

I redid Dr. Hover's and I will post that new version this weekend probably. And I've outlined a DG story that would be longer, like Stoic or Crook

Anonymous

They were very neat :3

ABear71

Just got in. Late night at work. Hi all.

ericmoser

So we have GC, Tim (I think), ABear, and Lilac popping in and out....

ericmoser

This might be our group for the night, so give me a moment or two to get into character....brb

Anonymous

I enjoy them a great deal. I think they add an interesting new perspective to the characters we don't get to see in the games, since the main story is filtered through our various protagonists point of view.

ABear71

I like the short stories. Eager to see part 3 more though ☺

ericmoser

Okay ONE more question before McCormick...

ericmoser

On a scale of 1-10, how much appeal would it be for Patrons of a certain level to have free early access to the CCH3 beta? I mean, that's probably the main draw, right?

Anonymous

I'm here, just don't refresh the page often enough

ABear71

Huge draw for sure

ericmoser

and Tim and ABear, I'm happy to hear some folks are reading them! :) I couldn't tell if they were

Anonymous

huge draw. and tim, if you go to the post directly it refreshes automatically

ericmoser

Yeah Tim, just click into the post itself. I don't have to refresh at all on my pc.

Anonymous

also, quick note: thanks for allowing me to have the Hedonist have a stealth cameo in my thing. had a couple of people scream at me because they blinked and missed it :D

Anonymous

I think that would be a great draw. Could also look into a Patreon-only Discord.

ABear71

Im on my phone atm but working ok

Anonymous

Oh, that's so much better, thanks

ericmoser

-McCormick steps up, blinking- These people know about...everything, I suppose?

ericmoser

(Eric) Okay I will step aside and let the Professor field any questions.

Anonymous

Evening, Ma'am. Not everything, otherwise we'd not have prepared questions

ericmoser

-McCormick strokes her chin- You understand certain topics are off the table. I advised Mr. Moser of such yesterday. In writing.

Lilac

Wait, what questions are off the table?

ericmoser

Well, ask a question and then you will find out. Certain topics are subject to privilege.

ABear71

Were there any liability issues after defeating the Wyvern? Property damage and all. ☺

ericmoser

Define "liability issues."

ericmoser

(Eric rubs his forehead)

Anonymous

Would asking what the Hedonist told you on the first day at speck that made you laugh fall under not disclosable questions?

ABear71

Property damages mostly. Dont think the criminal can claim assault?

ericmoser

Ah, well in theory the Wyvern could pursue a claim for property damage. Hell, anyone can pursue a claim against anyone else these days, as we all know. And our self-insured plan does cover property damage caused by a student. HOWEVER...as you point out, the Wyvern was engaged in criminal activities, and our students do have limited law enforcement powers per statute.

ericmoser

I am, however, waiting for the city's legal department to submit more specifics on the damages to Tyler Park and the structure that was damaged.

ericmoser

-McCormick looks to GC- It would not be privileged, no. -looks uncomfortable- I believe he...complimented my attire on that occasion.

ABear71

Woot! No deductible.

Anonymous

In retrospect, are you surprised?

ericmoser

-looks at ABear- No, we are waiving the deductible for the student in question, considering the unique circumstances.

ericmoser

-to GC- No. No I am not.

Lilac

Hi McCormick! I always pay attention in your classes because all of the stuff you teach is amazing~ You seem pretty stern and serious a lot though...what do you do to relax?

Anonymous

Last question regarding him: Would you say he is actively making amends for his... shortcomings

ericmoser

-looks to Lilac- You're....one of the students? Never mind, I shouldn't inquire further....

ericmoser

-to Lilac- I enjoy reading...mostly non-fiction...mostly true crime stories set in mid 19th century Nebraska...and I enjoy those painting classes where you get to take your painting home with you.

Anonymous

What do you make of the rivalry between the two bigger schools and how does that provide a challenge to you as an educator, being stuck in the middle?

ericmoser

-to GC- I cannot comment specifically on personnel matters...but I can assure you that we all appreciated his efforts to protect the students when few others seemed interested in doing so.

Anonymous

Thank you. And seconding Tim's question

Lilac

Yeah, I'm the forgettable one, i don't blame you for not knowing me!

ericmoser

-to Tim- Ah, well whatever rivalry exists between those two institutions need not concern us. Frankly, we are not in a position to take sides or turn down any offer of aid. However, I have my suspicions regarding....certain faculty members and how they came to arrive at our school, as well as the motivations behind those placements. But I'm not at liberty to disclose my theories.

ericmoser

-walks over to Lilac and whispers- Are you the one called Bouquet?

ericmoser

-adding to her answer to Tim's question- And I credit our relationship with another institution for allowing our classes to continue for another year....albeit in a different setting.

ABear71

Professor, is it true Downfall is returning as a professor and that Megacat and Prestige will affiliating more closely with Speck?

Anonymous

well,rest assured we all have our theories concerning the faculty members in question.

ericmoser

-looks to ABear- I can confirm that next year's classes will take place on the Prestige campus in New York.

Anonymous

hmm... curious

ericmoser

-nods at G.C.- I have theories about everything.

Anonymous

Are you at all concerned that the motivations you referenced could put the student body in an uncomfortable position, down the line?

ericmoser

-to Tim- I'd say we've long passed the "uncomfortable position" phase of things, considering the events of last May. I cannot speak to anyone's precise motivations, but I will go on the record that I believe sheltering the students at Prestige is necessary for their protection and continued growth.

ericmoser

The status quo.....well, it was shattered, both literally and figuratively.

ericmoser

Now....unless there are any more questions..?

Lilac

Bouquet...I love the sound of that. That'll be my hero name from now on, thanks McCormick~ As for questions...how did you get into law?

Anonymous

How are the savior professors taking that prospect?

Anonymous

also, one small one then i'll hush up: Do you have a favorite musical?

ericmoser

-to Lilac- Well, there is a student named Bouquet...but I don't think they really made much of an impression on......anyone? Oh, as for getting into the law, I blame, or credit, LA Law for that almost entirely. Corbin Bernsen....hmmm.

ericmoser

-to GC- It's been some time since I have communicated with them. I do not anticipate any of the Savior representatives being involved in any further student instruction, but that is to be expected.

ericmoser

I would anticipate they will not let any personal feelings enter into the equation.

ericmoser

As for my favorite musical, I greatly enjoyed Wicked. -mumbles- I also have a sister.

ericmoser

(Eric) Okay, it's 10 and I promised McCormick we'd wrap it up by then.

Lilac

How did it feel to be a fixed point in time? You must have some really strong resolve. How did you get that resolve?

Anonymous

<3 thank you. and sorry for kind of derailing things. I sometimes have a hard time getting my wits together

Lilac

Ah heck that's okay!

Anonymous

Thanks for taking the time to chat with us

ericmoser

Okay, last question from Lilac

ericmoser

-McCormick- What do you mean by fixed point in time?

Anonymous

I think they might be referencing Doctor Who?

Lilac

Crud i think i might have confused you with Tolly. Dont worry!

ericmoser

-McCormick blinks- Millenials

ericmoser

(Eric) Okay thanks for hanging out, folks! I hope you had fun....and you're the first four people to know that classes in CCH3 will take place at Prestige

Anonymous

Adults under forty, ma'am.

Anonymous

yay :D was fun

Anonymous

Yeah, had a blast, thanks for doing this

ericmoser

That's one of the reasons I didn't extend the NYC scene in CCH2; I was pretty sure we'd revisit that campus soon enough.

Anonymous

our lips are sealed

ericmoser

I am working VERY hard on getting a demo together, and when I do, it WILL be available early and free to Patrons....

ericmoser

and I probably won't post it on the CoG forums for quite a while.

ericmoser

Not until I think I need more feedback.

Anonymous

godspeed

ericmoser

But StarStreakers is a project I get paid on, so you know how that goes, I've gotta give that much of my time right now.

ericmoser

You fine folks have a good night!

Good night!

you too. Good night.

ABear71

Good night Eric and thanks

It's late but night!

Eric, sorry I couldn't join the chat it was very early in the UK but I read it all through, it's great to see you put si much time in for your fans. Keep up the great work, All the extra stories, character sheets and cartoons really help to build the whole world. Also starstreakers looks amazing too :)

Hey Johnathon, that's awesome that you took the time to say hey! I hope at least a few people like all the extras like Hijinks and the short stories! And my family and I are going "across the pond" to London in the spring; we're very pumped! I just hope we are sophisticated enough to get by.

Anonymous

Hope you have a great time

Lilac

I finally looked it up. It was Tolly who was a fixed point in time, not McCormick. Whoops!
