Re: Questions on Forming Families

i think it'll be easy to generate families at the immediate start of the game, especially with the number of people interested. with the later app rounds, maybe they could be open for two weeks or so? or would that be a little too long?

i think the best way around it is to have some new characters be sorted into old families, but make it to appear that they were always there in the first place? like maybe once they're in, their faces could appear in the photographs around the house or something like that? AM I MAKING SENSE.

Yes, you are! It'd be one of those things that most people wouldn't notice, either. It's just subtle enough to be creepy.

Heh, looks like you and anon below had the same idea at about the same time. Retconning them into the setting, with the physical evidence and NPCs confirming the retcon. Considering that's already the plan for the starts of families, it makes perfect sense!

re: app rounds, there's two considerations: how long apps should be open, and how long the cycle length should be.
I haven't modded, so I don't know what's preferable for mods.
