Alright, it’s time to do that thing that everyone seems to just love: Ask the Cast!
For those unfamiliar, this is where players submit their questions to the characters of Mythos, and the characters answer. I… guess that was probably self-explanatory by the name. To submit your questions, you can get them to me in any manner you can. Patreon/Subscribestar/itch.io posts, private messages, the #ask-the-cast Discord channel on the official Nine of Swords server, on adult game forums where you see me posting, Twitter/BlueSky… basically anywhere you see that I’m paying attention!
There are rules about asking questions, and they’re the same as last time… but the first rule is slightly changed since this is the last one (for Book One):
- You can ask as many questions as you like… full stop. No restrictions this time, except for the next point:
- If you’re going to ask a question to multiple characters, you have to limit that question to no more than seven. You can’t ask a question to “the whole cast”, because thinking of a response to the same question from every single character is fucking exhausting. Don’t do that. The limit is seven for a good reason; the “main cast” is seven people (Ky, Tara, Sophia, B, Rain, Mara, and Lisa). Though you can also name groups, like say “Area 42”, “the Vampires”, or “the Convocation”; so far, no group should have more than seven people in it so that’s pretty safe.
- You can literally ask anything; it doesn’t have to be related directly to the Mythos story. You can ask them what it’s like to be in a game, or their favourite movie, or why Coldplay sucks so much ass.
- The characters are replying as themselves. What does this mean? It means that if you ask Sophia and B the exact same question, they’re probably going to have different answers (and possibly comment on how you asked them both the same questions). If you’re rude to them, they may not be so nice to you. If you’ve ever been to a convention panel with open questions from the audience, think of it working just like that.
- I’m instructing them not to give out spoilers… though I’m betting some of them will let something leak if the right question is asked.
- You can ask any character that’s been revealed to the public in any way. However, you must know the character’s name or title. I’m not going to be posting a definitive list of characters here like I did last time — that means if you’ve seen a character in some art but don’t know who they are, you can’t ask them a question. Yes, there’s a specific character I had in mind when I made this rule.
- To build on the above — if a character has been referenced, but not seen (like a character in one of the “Tales from Mythos” series, or the WETT Stage Manager) you can ask them a question!
- You can ask me questions at any time (or during “Ask the Dev“, coming soon), and I’ll just answer those myself. This is only for asking the characters questions!
- Once again — the cat is a cat. If you ask the cat a question, it will be like you’re talking to a cat. Don’t expect much. Because, again, it is a cat.
You have until midnight Eastern time on Monday, February 5th, 2024 to get your questions submitted. Have fun!!!
