I plan on making a game where you play as John Kiltin, a poor meat salesman in the Middle Ages (medieval times). He wishes to be a knight. He goes through a life of training and proving loyalty and honor to the king of Narshen, the kingdom John lives in, with the help of Scar, an unusually friendly and helpful small orc. John goes from poor meat salesman/beggar, to successful meat salesman/farmer, to multi-purpose shop owner, to helper, to knight, and so on so forth.

I don't know if I should make this storygame. Any thoughts?

Sounds like fun to me!

That's what makes this story so special! You get to overcome that incredible blockade! Hooray, you!

No, I mean that in medieval times it was impossible to change your place in life.

Oh, I get what you're saying. But hey, stories are meant to be unreal sometimes, right?

Seems like its based in a fantasy setting anyway, he mentions orcs in the story. So anything goes I would guess.

I think that's only to those who have been "questioned" by them...

For some reason the whole meat salesman thing sounds funny. I just picture the protagonist traveling around the countryside with meat on a wagon wondering why he's not making any sales as the peasants nearly puke whenever he comes by because the meat is always rotting and gathering maggots rather quickly due to the heat.

Then the friendly orc explains to him that if he hopes to do any successful business he should go try to sell his overly ripe meat products to an orc community instead or invest in ice magic to keep the meat fresh. (Or at least salt!)

Hell fuck becoming a knight angle, just have the entire story about trying to become a successful meat baron in a fantasy setting and title the story MEAT.

I thought him being a meat salesman was gonna lead into you start killing your competitors and selling them as meat, thus becoming the most successful salesman in the land (by default).

kind of reminds me of Mr. Whaley from Harvester.

I fully support the creation of this story.

You have a bit of a thing for business-themed fantasy, don't you? 

And bestiality, to a lesser extent. 

Well this escalated quickly, from moving up rank-wise to killing people and selling them as meat...

Should've known that EndMaster would've came in and begin talking about cannibalism in the game.

Well Killa and End do look similar, their pictures both have darkness around it and their names are about 'ending' something.

Killa's got my trophy, close enough.

I didn't think I had to really. I figured that a cannibalism route was a given.

Meating of swords.

I'm interested.
