-- Either stuck with Marla (she had enough canon to fuel her) or apped/re-apped her later. Or just had more time for her. -- Either apped Merry earlier or apped another character -- a lot of Merry's development was squished by -- Akin nightmare game. Mostly I wanted to have a lot of non-Canises decide that Akin was out to get them by showing how creepy the Oankali could be. And doing something more psychological would have been fun, since a lot of the nightmares were bloody. Understandable, due to Sabra trauma, but... -- Play more with Tazendra's developed fear of being controlled. Or hell, I'm sad Tazendra and Queen never got to meet until the final battle, because Queen and Soldier both hit a lot of Tazendra's pings, and yet she had her own personal honor which reshaped her self-indulgent and violent impulses into something that passed for civilized*. -- Actually played a Judge.
Thoughts on the Sabra setup itself -- what worked and what didn't work for you?
* Granted, a lot of Dragaeran society is structured so a lot of the Houses can be themselves without imploding the Empire.
