Daniele Di Rubbo@paulczege, I have the “usual” questions about #TheClaythatWoke. Can I go on asking here? #claytalk
All the others: you can find the “first round” on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DanieleDiRubbo/status/1082778358952402944
Paul Czege@paulczege, thanks! Let’s follow the previous enumeration:
8. Can a minotaur NPC be an intrinsic?
9. Can I insert in the story and show a named minotaur as an NPC, or do you think he could deprotagonistize the players’ minotaurs?
10. If a minotaur NPC goes frantic near my minotaur, do I still have to test my silence? And can the game master simply declare that a minotaur NPC goes frantic?
11. The externals are always intrinsics. However, I guess they never count towards the three intrinsics the game master has to keep active in each moment. Am I right?
12. I did some preparation, just in case I have to run a demo.
I have this intrinsic with quid quo pro thinking: he is an ass who is dismissing his former employees to recruit cheaper manpower, uniquely for his own gain.
He’s definitely making “self-justified decisions with effects that others have to deal with”. Is this enough to mark him as an intrinsic with quid pro quo thinking or am I missing the “rationalize […] that you don’t deserve consequences for your actions” part?
13. In our last session, we played a situation in the jungle with both the Still Voice and the Red Voice in it. The Still Voice was acting as a host of ghosts of deserters of the Everwar, while the Red Voice was possessing their former comrades who wanted to execute them for their treason.
It really was a charged and cool situation to play!
Have you ever had inflections with more than one Voice involved at the same time?
14. During our last session, a herd of NPC minotaurs went frantic near Luca’s nameless minotaur and we asked ourselves: can a player decide their minotaur voluntarily loses control and goes frantic?
Simone, the game master, thinks one can, but maybe they must renounce every Silence token they have, in analogy with the situation in which a player’s minotaur renounces higher employment and better life circumstances, and forfeits all their the Name tokens (page 94).
15. Normally you choose the Foremost following the procedure described on page 93.
However, during our last session, Luca’s nameless minotaur followed the herd of frantic NPC minotaurs on his free will (he previously resisted to the frenzy test). We considered Luca’s minotaur as part of the group of NPCs (we just followed what seemed to make sense with the fiction to us) and determined the Foremost as usual.
How do you determine the Foremost in these cases?
@danieledirubbo
I would have done it exactly the same way. He followed them, so he's a part of the group, so he's involved in the determination of the foremost just as if he'd been swept up with the group by going frantic.

Thank you so much for your answers!
Just… probably you overlooked questions n. 9 and n. 10. 😅
