Editing In the Shadow of Elsport (section)

==Initial interests==
In the recruitment thread, players made the following list of things they would like to see:
* The distinctiveness of Blue Rose's setting is front and centre.
** This includes the romantic nature of the setting, where society is viewed in a generally positive light and there is optimism in the world.  As the books says:
*** "Romantic fantasy novels are often set in highly egalitarian societies, where people’s occupations and aspirations are not limited by fixed gender roles. In these books,cultures and individuals that are sexist or homophobic are either ignorant and see the error of their ways somewhere in the series, or they are enemies who are eventually vanquished.
*** "The heroes of romantic fantasy novels are usually environmentally conscious. Protecting wilderness areas and animals from depredation is a common plot element. In all romantic fantasy worlds, nature is a positive magical force, and anyone who protects it is on the side of good."
* Cultural diversity
* Misguided villains, in addition to or instead of truly evil villains
* Maybe some Jarzoni antics
* Inspiration from Miyazaki and/or Earthsea
* The PCs focus on helping people, either as freelancers or working for the Sovereign
* Possibly a love story for a PC or two.  Emotional investment at the least.

Additionally, several things were explicitly requested to 'not' be in the game:
* Sexualized violence
* Puzzles that are impossible or that have no clues or hints
* Graphic or Elaborate depictions of violence and misery
