These are all questions I wouldn't mind answers to, myself. I will say, if they need time to be answered? Then that's fine. Take time to think on it and to plan it and to come back to it, if that's what you guys need.

There's been a long pattern in this game of mod involvement not being as involved as it could be. I don't say this to condemn or to blame or even in anger. Just that the desire of what the mod team wants the game to be and what the game actually is are often two separate things... and what the game can be, given the time and capacities of the people running it and the desires of the players, may be something somewhere in the middle. I'm happy to see signs of shifting NPC work around and re-distributing how the Arcana are handled, and I'm hopeful to see if it plays out well in the longer term. If this is going to be a mystery-heavy game where there are secrets to find, and the answers to those are gotten by asking the mod team, then the mod team needs to be enthusiastically responsive. Otherwise, players who are new, anxious, or otherwise unsure aren't going to be able to engage in what seems to be intended to be a big part of Synodiporia's story.
