Love how you used the theme for a recruitment story!
There was a little pacing notes that felt like this was translated? Felt a bit like the late 80’s Harlequin lore vibe which is tough to capture so well done.
Well, I'm not English native, so my grammar and pacing is a bit off, also, I can't write too often, you know third world country schedule, but I try to write at every opportunity I have
So, if you have notes or advice about pacing, I'd love to hear them, I need to improve
No slight intended, writing in another language is fantastically challenging and I applaud you for doing so, as I said it reminded me of earlier Games Workshop lore.
I for one, would have run.
nice recruitment tatic
too bad only two elfs of a entire colony can take a joke
You did well evoking the strange imagery and style of the jester elves, and you managed to make them come across as sinister, something which the legacy material insists is the case and yet rarely aims for itself. A good twist on the traditional understanding of this faction.
The Jesters managed to feel like a Gang of Jokers, which I think fits them incredibly well. They're strange, esoteric, and occult, all of the best aspects of the aesthetic. Very good job.
