Today wasn't quite as productive as yesterday

Today wasn't quite as productive as yesterday. I came down with a bit of a cold, so I've been less than creative as I drag my body about, leaving an oozing trail as I go. The first round of QA was done on the Chronomancer quest and people pointed out the biggest flaw to the quest.

At the moment, there's not enough player choice. It's all dialog-based and there's a few branches, but most of the time the player is simply going from point to point. I think what I need to do is add more branches, many of them wrong choices, and let the player fail. It'll play hell with my word count, but I'd rather do that than have something that isn't fun.

The Firestarter quest is very different and less controlled. In some ways, it may be the stronger of the two entries.
