Yes there is, though the Hunters also have part in keeping crime to a low.
Is Andalusst a town with a local militia or police faction besides the guilds, given that crime would be abundant due to overpopulation, the inability to house and feed everyone and lack of regular resources?

Will the traps be the same as the games, or will we have a bit more freedom with what our teams will come across? Better yet, will we be given a map of sorts (as I'm sure traveling through a ever-changing dungeon could take a good amount of paper with all the dead ends and such) for navigating the dungeon?
It’ll really depend on the dungeon. I’ll be drawing feature pages detailing all of the key elements of a dungeon/its traps and gimmicks at the start of each mission that involves them, and from there on you’ll get to use your own creativity. The great thing about working with mystery dungeons is that everyone is going to have a different idea for how to interpret certain challanges.

Someone a while ago had asked if the ghost mechanics in PMDU worked the same way as in PMD-E, and you had said "it's a little different, but the same general concept". I'm curious, can you elaborate any on the differences, or will that have to wait till later?
It’s sort of story related. But at the most basic level, ghosts operate the same was as in PMDE. That is, a ghost pokemon can be created from a dead pokemon. It’s just that the conditions for doing so are now slightly different. Not just any dead pokemon can become a ghost.

This whole restaurant thing has me confused on the morality of eating other Pokemon. Are their non-sentient Pokemon? Is murder legal if you eat them?
That restaurant thing is a fan creation, it’s not official for PMDU and I was just reblogging it because I thought it was cute and cool.
Eating other pokemon is considered undesirable in Andalusst at least, and since there are no non-sentients it is morally questionable, but beyond civilised areas, tribal or barbarian pokemon often need to eat each other for survival.
Thankfully that’s avoidable in Andalusst where the problem can be circumvented by working together with other Pokemon. Most species can survive on berries, eggs, and certain meat substitutes that exist within the dungeons.
For example, giant mushroom steaks from the dungeons taste very similar to meat and provide similar nutritional benefits.

So..how would mega evolutions work in PMD-U? Would they become NPCs or not counted at all? Just wondering :)
Mega evolutions require a mega stone to be posessed by the pokemon as an item, and then they can be triggered at will. However, mega stones are pretty hard to find in Parai and will most likely be rewards or plot devices. Members will not be allowed to mega-evolve unless they actually own a mega stone.

Do guilds provide boarding for members (like a campus for the researchers) or are members expected to have their own places to live?
The guilds have lodging and tenants, but members are free to live in their own homes if they wish.

So... Are the people listed under Admins on the PMDU page the only admins, or are there others? Because you made a journal for nobody to answer questions, but people not listed there are answering. I don't know whether to listen to the person who replied to mine or not.
It’s pretty hard to enforce the no-minimodding rule we have. But yeah, it’s only ok for people to do that if they link back to the rules journals.

I’m probably going to be opening a PMDU tumblr soon, most likely on a different set of accounts entirely. I’ll be sure to post links when that happens since I most likely will stop being so active on this set of accounts.

Anyone is welcome to come and participate, but please consider donating to - http://torussiawithloz.org/ . Even $1 will help, or just a reblog.

Today’s stream is over! Thank you to everybody who attended and donated.
This batch of drawings shows a lot of NPCS who are currently yet to be introduced to the story. A feature goes to Robin the Banette and Donovan the Heliolisk (and his son Leiro)
Also some League of Legends silliness courtesy of our small LoL playerbase. In-jokes abound.

I have been thinking about joining the PMDU but I have troubles well making a picture for my OC. So I wanted to ask if it is possible to commission you for a picture?
You aren’t allowed to use other artist’s work for your PMDU submissions. The whole point of the group is to improve as an artist yourself. Comissioning others to do your work for you against the rules.

The feeling of unintentionally hurting a friend you respect beyond repair is pretty bitter, but more so when you realise you may never have had a friendship in the first place.
Sometimes, we really want to be friends with somebody, because we aspire to be like them, or we respect them for their strength, or find them inspiring. Or maybe just because they are friends of friends. Whatever the case, when you realise that this person was probably just tolerating your presence all along, it’s probably best to cut ties while things are on a good note, rather than try to repair an incompatibility.
PK has been having some major relationship issues. I thought that giving my testament as to how I never got along well with her husband would make her feel better after what happened between them, but it turned out this was the worst thing I could have done. Especially since he apparently apologised to me (something I have no recollection of).
We are no longer on speaking terms, and per her request, never will be again.
I am not going to contest this decision. I made a critical mistake and recognise that - no excuses, I’m going to suck this up and learn from it, so our interactions were at the very least valuable for me.
I did a lot of struggling to fit in in PMDE. Before I was an admin, I found my views conflicting with the general way things were done in the irc. PK and I had a few clashes, the current admins and I at the time had a few clashes. It was not a comfortable transition and I often felt like I was walking on thin ice. Even after obtaining admin position I was kind of thought of as the naive, inexperienced guy in the group who says the dumb stuff at dumb times. I tried really hard to prove that I could improve, even after PMDE finished.
That said, over the past few months I’ve noticed my contact with PK had been dropping off ever since PMDE’s closure. We would talk (relatively pleasantly) when I joined the IRC channel and she was there. Occasionally over skype. But PK pretty much never saught my company on her own accord, never showed any interest in what I was doing or asked how I was. I understand that she’s probably a very busy person and has a lot to juggle, but it made me realise that I’ve actually contributed very little as a ‘friend’. I would inquire on her wellbeing, offer to help where I could, or draw her gifts now and then, but thinking back, I don’t think my contributions were ever that convenient to her beyond minor timesavers. We’re quite different as people, we hang out in different circles and have different world views. Originally I’d brushed that aside and convinced myself I would work through it and learn to understand her better, but ugh.
Why am I actually so concerned about seeking the approval of one person? There are plenty of times where I’ve been very disappointed in PK’s behavior myself, and swallowed it because speaking out in the past had gotten me in the bad books. The few times speaking out was successful, it left a bitter aftertaste and made me look like a fire starter. I guess, it’s because I wanted so badly to look past her flaws and find a person I could really get along with.
I have never, in my entire life, had this much trouble getting along with a person or a group of people, and it’s a humbling experience. One that I definately intend to learn from. So for anyone who considers me a friend, please help me not to make such mistakes again. I do not want to hurt any of you.
I’m going to miss PK a lot, but for right now all I can do is wish her a happy life and a hearty thank you for giving me the inspiration to make something cool.
