@Raffles - That's all speech of my character I just didn't format it properly. He's having a dialogue with himself!

Well, obviously it would be silly to pretend any of us really was an expert on life in  10th century Norse villages.

You don't need to be an expert to know some things  

Oh, for God's sake, cut it out, Stroggy, you're beginning to sound like my little cousin ('little' meaning he'll turn 18 in spring). You know you're clever. We know you're clever. However, when you're clever, you also need to be able to restrain that cleverness from time to time and resist the urge to play the clever clogs. My cousin is unable to do that, unfortunately, and trust me, you don't want to end up like him...

@Sean: Ah, sorry about that. It wasn't entirely clear from the context, though, and it did sound an awful lot as if you were inventing lines for my character.

Of course you are. Relax. You don't have to prove anything.

Oh, sorry Raffles. Next time I'll add a little footnote if I converse with myself or try to make it more obivious that my character is talking aloud to himself. I wouldn't add speech to other peoples characters without persmission (e.g Juni Fight). If any other dialogues are like that then the same applies to them, I think.

Or just put it as an 'aside' if you want to be fancy about it.

Lycurgus mutters to himself. The other villagers give him strange looks as he starts talking in several different voices. Obviously this is what Lycurgus does instead of thinking...

[DeathDude]

if that actually did happen that way.

That makes him sound mad, he was suppoused to just be thinking aloud and questioning his own thoughts. Not being a skitzo

But it would make for a more entertaining game obviously.

I'll keep that in mind
