I'm not going back through six pages to check for the nods to her, but at least in A3 the Shirley is in the area of the world with a few other Laverne & Shirley characters. But Shirley's elsewhere/in other games are probably the ex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Shirley's elsewhere/in other games are probably the ex You could just go back to the updated initial post that lists the actual cameos. A3 does actually have a very specific reference to Shirley: Monoroe province is a slight alteration of her last name. All of the provinces, apparently, were named after Jeff's ex's (plus Mariann, of course). (Also, I'm not sure whether there are any random Shirley's in other Spiderweb games, but sharing a very common first name is definitely not enough, by itself, to establish a connection. Everything included in the list has something beyond that, anyway.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Oh, hey, it occurs to me. Geneforge 1 - Mutagen has a name cameo that I know because I put it in there, thanks Kickstarter. Hiley, the flute-playing servile in the basement of The Tombs, has a number of references to the book *cough* Sudanna, Sudanna in his dialogue, not least of which is his name, shared with a character in said book. His flute, his dorky hat, elements of his backstory, you see what I've done here. Even the ghosts, from a thematic standpoint. Ta-da!

Hatchling Cockatrice Quiconque Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Seems plausible, would love an additional connection: In Triola (G2) we have John Maynard Keynes (economist) JS Mill (philosopher, relevant to economics) Henri Wald (much less famous, but also a philosopher) Zyx (literary magazine) per randomizer, this was a backer-suggested name Suspicious - any thoughts?: Barzahl means roughly "cash payment" in German - this feels far too appropriate Shanti means "inner peace" in Sanskrit Zakary means "remembering/remembered by god" in various languages New names in G2I - Kieron Stoff is listed as a backer Gardner Dozois - I think this is new in G2I? - SF writer, not connected to anything else but plenty of SF writers elsewhere in the series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Quiconque Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 Bump; made some miscellaneous updates. More to add: I know there's a bunch in QW and probably QW2 that I haven't sorted through -- any suggestions from that? Likewise feel free to call out any Kickstarter additions that are references.

Hatchling Cockatrice Quiconque Posted October 5 Author Share Posted October 5 Grimwing: is this a Transformers reference? Looks suspiciously drayklike. The Herringbone hatchet quest is obviously a Monty Python reference and we know that was a backer insertion; was Grimwing also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 I backed the Shrubbery quest but all names used but the Knight part, which Jeff modified, were picked by him. Should have insisted on a fish graphic instead of an axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
