@Tiny Tony This one is new, nothign should have changed, but I'll take a look into it this weekend.

Currently having an issue where the story teller does not change after having manually swapped them.
Any way to fix this?

i just tried spawning events in dev mode, it always changes, is there a way to make it an option so if it rolls the same it doesnt' change storyteller? that way we can basically have different frequencies for each storyteller

hey idk how to test this but is there anything to prevent the same storyteller being rolled again? or any way of making that?

cuz i want to somehow make it change very often, but 70% of the time to be cassandra

@rav afaik, switching storytellers does not reset any timers. Incidents are queued though, so you can get randyrandom like incident chains on cassandra if randy already queued those incidents to be fired.

Hello, do you know if the event timers reset on switching the storytelleror how exaclty does the game handle it?

Im just wondering if switching the storyteller constantly can cause problems, for example not getting any raids at all if it switches daily or like getting 3 raids in a row or some other funky stuff.
Especially between randy and cassandra since they are both coded a bit differently.

Absolutely love this mod, but do wish it had more fleshed out customization options, especially with the more unique storytellers that exist now. Like having the option to configure storytellers to appear only during certain quadrums (looking at you santa), and just to give natural forced variety by setting up your own groups of storytellers per season instead of only having the pure chaos. An being able to fully disable the chance change from events in particular I feel would help minimize the problems with the wave-based storytellers

Updated to 1.6

1.6 please?

@Deankiller Turnupseed should be compatible with all storytellers, with a minor caveat for Winston Waves, given his special mechanics. It will switch, but will have some side effects. Do you have a log of it failing to switch? I can't really help you fix it without more information

fails to switch very often. curious which storytellers are known to be incomp

Can i make a suggestion to include the storyteller difficulties in the posible choices?

I love the mod it's one of my few always on mods. I would like it if there were a setting to simply display the current storyteller somewhere.

Some storytellers, like the one for VFE pirates, have special conditions. Is there a way to manage that in the mod, or plans to implement one?

This story at the bar, they came together to take turns coming up with something. "After they had heroically staved off the attack" "There came a time of great peace" "Albeit with some... hmmm. How about some bug problems"

Amazing mod, a must-have!

O man I don't know, I wanna try it but I have Abaddon the Despoiler, Chaos Undivided and some other killer ones too. They would murder eachother for the seat

When I use this with Vanilla Expanded Insectoids, whenever the storyteller switches, it *always* goes to Empress Evil. Help?

Mentioned this in the Best Mods • Events collection.

Howdy! I love this mod and use it a lot, but I'm curious if it'd be possible to make the new anomaly storyteller settings also randomize with storyteller swaps. I think it'd be really cool to have stretches of time where you're bombarded with anomaly content and raids, and times where you rarely see 'em.

Any way that it would be possible to set up the mod so that the other chances can be 0? best I can do is 100, 1, 1. I'd like to make the storyteller only change on the year change and no other time. Great mod though, thank you!

It changed to Cassandra, so I don't know if the bug is with a bad storyteller

It seems it is using a obsolete method?, 1.5 with Anomaly, i think it will not change storyteller

@TheGreenDigi you mean like the ones I posted after reading your comment? ( I mean this in a good way lol)

If on PC (I havent looked on mobile) goto the top of the page right under the title of the item you are looking at there are tabs such as, Description, Discussion, Comments and change notes.
Click on Discussions and then look for on the right side for an option that says "Start a new discussion" (or something like that) and click it and go from there.
Works just like it would for posting a question or whatever on any other games discussion tab

@TheGreenDigi I know it doesn't play well with Freya Fierce, it causes a weird bug where everyone gets a -45 debuff for not raiding the moment she is is activated regardless of whether you have recently raided, or even if you do raid whilst she's active. I've logged the issue with the VE team because there is a broader issue with both her and Maynard Medieval wherein if you are post-medieval research and they get selected as storytellers then research essentially ceases and the game doesn't notify you. So (to the mod author) those two storyteller could do with a toggle or warning to disable them if you're not playing on a tech restricted playthrough and or just don't want your colony imploding due to everyone going into a beserk/tantrum spiral.

I feel as though it'd be nice to have a discussion thread that lists how this mod works/interacts with certain modded storytellers. Mainly for some of the ones with unique or strange mechanics like winston waves, freya fierce, oskar obnoxious, maynard, etc.

Would be good for people to know if those storytellers work properly or not, and if people don't know, then others could contribute their findings there so other people know in the future.

Played with this mod in my modlist, now I can’t play Rimworld without this mod. Thank you for such a wonderful mod.

Really cool. Thanks !

How does this work with Freya Fierce's "Raid Restlessness" mechanic? How does it work with storytellers with various population preferences?

any reason the mod options isnt poping when i click on it?

There's a simple answer for various complaints like raids: each storyteller has a cadence for spawning raids. Check your history with Cassandra, you can usually predict when your next raid will be. If the storytellers just happened to swap in these gaps, it could lead to a good chunk of time where nothing happens. Of course, that also means the opposite is true, and you could also swap into the places of increased activity.

@ec#2718 on Discord depends on a mod by mod basis as I do not know their implementation, but i know for Casper Cursed it keeps your choices.

How does this interact with storytellers that have custom UI, such as Casper Cursed or Igor Invader? Will the player choose new 'curses' each time it hotseats?

Not sure why, but its not working for me at all. is there anyway to manually force a switch with dev mode?

it doesnt disable raids, it makes them have a skill gap, your just bad, its a skill issue

The no raid issue is not present for me and I have over 750 mods active. It must be something else you guys have.

same issue, no raids for whole game year, idk how but other games work correctly

heads up, this just straight up disabled raids for me. took forever to figure out.

here's an idea: make the dynamic storyteller a special storyteller, that will randomly change it. Something like "something" Chaos. That then will randomly pick a starting storyteller, and change from there!

Events from Dynamic Diplomacy could be ignored please?
With only 1% chance per event, it still happens too often.

Hi! I've had issues when the game is switching storytellers. I get up a bar where it says: Generating randomizer data. The game just freezes and/or closes down for me. Idk if there's any conflict with a specific storyteller or what. I don't know where to get a github log for this particular instance since the game always closes down when it happens

Thank you so much. I love this mod. It makes my life a living hell. I am really into that.

Sorry for the delay, but Hotseat is now updated to 1.4. If you guys run into any bugs then let me know, but otherwise, enjoy your 1.4 adventures folks!

mod setting menu is broken in 1.4, not sure if the rest of it works

Somehow the mod we need.
can the difficulty of the storyteller be not changed too? i.e. Randy random at 500%, once the game starts its 500% all the way through.
tired of cheesing my way every tempting time by lessening difficulty levels

Cool mod, I'd love to see a config option to hide the "Storyteller Changed" event, just for fuckery.

@FA | Alex SDU go to mod setting --> hotseat click show settings. you can change duration.

Hi, Arquebus Can you plaese add random mode ? i mean everything is random.

Will this work with mod storytellers? I got a few of them in my game.
Also, how long is the duration before the switch of the storytellers?

I agree. Will change that tonight :)
