Sorry about getting this up a little late — the notes are from yesterday, I swear.
Notes for Day 3
- The Grey siblings have a sizable trust that they inherited from their mother’s late parents. This trust was partially depleted in the name of Peter’s care when he was a teenager. The siblings successfully sued their parents as a result (which played a role in both their estrangement from their parents and the legal emancipation of Jason and Peter before age 18).
- The three siblings have a mutual agreement between the three of them that they will only tap the money in trust for things that all three of them agree on.
- The Universe game world offers options for all kinds of play styles and genres. The most popular settings are the space and fantasy settings. Most settings are segregated on particular “worlds,” (ie, servers), but there is some crossover between genres and settings with game balance restrictions built into the game to prevent abuses.
- Players who helped fund the game through the crowdfunding campaign were allotted special in-game positions of power (nobility with actual power, fleet captains, town mayors, etc.). Through particular sets of game mechanics and roleplay, these individuals may be unseated, but it is a difficult task.
- Peter (as one of the creators of the game) is the Lord of a particular world (a largely fantasy world with science fiction elements and a few science fiction enclaves). Jason and Joslyn are actually both subordinate nobles on his world and Elaine was recruited by Joslyn as one of her subordinate nobles.
