Heh. No, I did not say they need to be easier. That was my roundabout way of saying these are too easy.
Try to limit them to 1 or 2 lines max, also if you're lifting from the website try limiting the entries with numbers in.
I can make them smaller. Still waiting for this answer though.

Ryan Frost didn't think things could get much worse than working the graveyard shift mopping the floors at a cryogenics lab, but a cryo-explosion stopped him cold. He survived, but the accident dropped his core temperature to zero Kelvin |
REALLY?! I thought making it shorter was supposed to make it harder!

Few Neo-Elves form permanent settlements, although particularly large groups, such as the Ashkaezar or the Shirvaan, will often remain in a single system for decades at a time as they carefully gather resources and shape the local interspace to their liking.
Still quite a lot of words there.
I'm not particularly good at decrypting these, but if I can find the same three letter combination a few times, that's almost certainly 'the' or 'and'. With this many words the rest tends to fall in place after that.

None know the true origins of the vssel, but it is posited that some ancient alien race built the factory and its rules to act as judge and jury for their home planet.

When I can, I will share the spreadsheet I am using so others can make some puzzles.
Maybe roleplaying games are more your speed? Then you're in luck! You can come play in the demo of the Sentinels of the Multiverse RPG a few times through the convention. More information coming on this in the next few days.
Let me try one!

Damn it. I have no idea how to do these and everyone else is reading them like they're English.
In my defence I'm very tired and my brain doesn't work properly, but still.
Short version: you find words you recognize, and that will give you the key to any unfound letters in the word, which should make some other words possible to identify - repeat until you can read it entirely.
The hard part is identifying words at the beginning, when you don't have any letters filled in yet. For that, the most common tricks are to look for 'a', 'and', and 'the'. Any one-letter word is going to be 'a' or 'I', and any three-letter word that occurs frequently is probably 'and' or 'the'. That can help you get your first couple of letters. Double letters and other patterns can make other clues, as can apostrophes.
An example:
Maybe roleplaying games are more your speed? Then you're in luck! You can come play in the demo of the Sentinels of the Multiverse RPG a few times through the convention. More information coming on this in the next few days.I noticed the 'a' after 'RPG', which gave me:
a__ a a a__ ____ ____ _____? ____ _' __ ____! ___ a ____ _a __ ___ ____ __ ___ _________ __ ___ __________ ___ a ___ _____ _______ ___ __________. ____ _a ______ __ ____ __ ___ ____ ___ a.
After that, I guessed that 'erg' which repeated several times translated to 'the'. This gave me:
a__e e__a a_e a_e ___e ____ ee? The ___'_e __ ____! ___ a __e a __ the e __ the e_t__e __ the __t__e__e ___ a e t__e th____h the _e_t. ___e _at ______ __ th __ the e_t e a.
Notice the 'The_' which I bolded. That is most likely 'They' or 'Then'. I guessed it was 'then' (actually, the possiblity that it could be 'they' didn't occur to me until just now), and that gave me 'n's:
_a__e __e__a__n a_e a_e ___e ____ _ee? Then ___'_e _n ____! ___ _an ___e a n the e __ the ent_ne __ the __t__e__e ___ a e t__e th____h the __n_ent__n. ___e _n____at__n __n n th n the ne_t e a.
The 'ent_ne_' that I bolded began with a capital letter. I managed to guess that it was 'Sentinels'. That gave me 's', 'i', and 'l':
_a__e __le_la_in_ _a_es a_e ___e ____ s_ee_? Then ___'_e in l___! ___ _an ___e _la_ in the _e__ __ the Sentinels __ the __lti_e_se ___ a _e_ ti_es th____h the __n_enti_n. ___e in____ati_n ___in_ _n this in the ne_t _e_ _a_s.
You get one guess what "Sentinels __ the __lti_e_se" is. That gave me o, f, m, u, v, and r. After that, there're many words that are easy to pick out, and you can fill in letters at your leisure.
"I'm here to get information," Tony stated, calmly holstering his revolver. "You will tell me what I want to know. Now, how do you want this to go?"
Was this any harder than usual? I deliberately picked something without any 'a's, 'and's or 'the's.
The "I" and initial "I'm" got me rolling pretty quickly. I tried to think of four-letter words that can follow "I'm" and settled on "here to" pretty quickly. That gave me enough letters to figure out "information" and "Tony", at which point, I knew where it came from.
These might be more difficult if they weren't all pulled from >G stuff (which can be recognized with incomplete information).
It was harder, but not hard. The contraction "I'm" is a bit of a giveaway. With that you have the letter 'm', which then means that the word 'me' is pretty straightforward. Now you've got the letter 'e' and that shows up in lots of places. The word 'here' was a pretty likely guess and then 'e' looked like either get or bet and either way I had the 't', which made 'to' easy and now I had "I'm here to _et ___orm_t_on", so 'get information' fell into place. All those os allso made "how do you want this to go" pretty obvious. At that point I had three of the vowels and the rest was pretty straightforward. Revolver actually was a bit puzzling for a while.
