In the Duskwall Illustration Map Hangout with Ryan Dunleavy, there was mention of two fun additions to the faction list: The Press and Mechanists/Electroplasm regulators.

Here are my suggestions for how I plan to inject these great ideas into my game. What would you do differently?

The Ink Rakes: The hounds, hawkers, and manufacturers of sensational gossip, secrets, and little yellow lies billed as “news.” Their words weave the opinions of the wretched masses and make or break reputations.

The Governors: The powermen and mechanists that maintain the lightning towers and regulate electroplasmic use in the city. They bear the impossible burden of keeping the lights on and the ghosts out.

  1. Awesome. I was looking through 3 Line Novels by Félix Fénéon last week actually, and it’s similar to that book. Amazingly well-written sensationalist news headlines.

  2. I ended up giving them the following starting stats in my setting:

     —The Ink Rakes (Tier II, Hold 4)

     —The Governors (Tier I, Hold 5)
