yeah I think Ben famously doesn’t check the comments on anything after posting it. There might be a knave discord if you google it.

Hello, and thank you for your kind words! I think that would make for a wonderful set-up for the adventure, though it may say something interesting about Fred’s life if the player characters are a halfling, an elf, and a half-orc ;)
This certainly would give the players a reason to help Fred out, and perhaps Alice could be omitted, or maybe she’s another sibling, or a neighbour of Fred’s who looked after him as he got older. Your idea id very whimsical and I could see it fitting in very nicely in a fairytale-like game such as Gavin Norman’s upcoming Dolmenwood setting. If Fred was indeed a wizard I think you could also hide his spellbook somewhere in the cottage, a gift for any of his children who would want to follow in his footsteps.
Thank you for your message, and for playing!
The amount of pure copium in this product is amazing to behold, before you get to the plain text adventures with stock photos or mspaint art, you're met with a multi-page essay on why things back in the day were great and how today's adventures are awful because of... pronouns and... art by paid illustrators and... professional layout software, and *if only we could go back to MY childhood when things were actually PLAYABLE*, conveniently forgetting even the three little brown books were better presented and more professionally illustrated than this stuff.
I'd rather stick with artpunk games to be honest, at least those creators make things based on what they love, rather than getting their friends together to collectively despise something and tell you their way is the one true way... to pretend to be elves and dwarves around a kitchen table.
Ps. It's always hilarious to see people claim their games are free of politics, when what they mean is "free of things I deem to be political or disagreeable", the head-in-sand energy is strong here.
