Indeed, StevenAC, you have no idea how valuable those compilations have become. You'll start to have an inkling in about 24 Sessions, though... :) 'scuse me. I'm off to do some reading before tomorrow's game.

Thanks, Falkus. Had a lot of fun with this one.

While everyone refers to the seasons as Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall, the rest of the world also calls them the seasons of Alirria, Ehkt, Sedellus, and Kettenek. In the Sovereignty, they would be the Season of Kettenek's Birthing, the Season of Kettenek's Building, the Season of Kettenek's...

Thanks, Coyote! So glad you've enjoyed.

After 3 months in game and I think over six months of real time reaching this, the epic climax of the Skill Cascade, it would have been a little disappointing to solve it entirely through diplomacy...

Heh. I enjoyed the hell out of that moment. I knew I could count on spyscribe to put that together...

Oh, I think you can pretty *directly* trace my marriage to your game... :) And let me also state that my desire to run a D&D game again came as a direct result of reading this Story Hour. So thanks for that, too. Can't wait to see how it ends.

In the interests of full disclosure and general amusement, I should probably mention that in this session, Yudai and Mawu were played by my father and mother respectively. I should also say that nothing I have ever done in the campaign freaked my players out as much as my mother's role-playing...

Thanks, Coyote! Glad you enjoyed. GMing for the boss isn't too bad. The harder part is not geeking out about the game while at work...

A Sovereign liar's pants do not catch on fire. They become filled with rocks.

We've all been a little busy lately, but you'll be happy to know I'm doing an edit on the next update as we speak. So if it takes another two weeks for it to go up, know that it's because I'm a really, really, really, slow editor.

Ilex, you are a beautiful, wonderful, marvelous freak of nature... Thanks for the kind wishes, everybody!

Ellinor is correct. The Sheh are another tribe of the Goh'na-li. The tribe near Bountiful was an unnamed tribe. I will say that they are not the same tribe as the Sheh, but the story of what happened to them is a pretty common story from that time in Sovereign history.

Apologies for the delay, but the story you’re about to hear requires some explanation... As I think we mentioned, WisdomLikeSilence and I had a baby last year. The plan was that we’d take a little break on the game when the baby was born, and start playing again after a few months. In order...

I've absolutely allowed them to stack-- I think they blew three on one roll once, but it was a very, very, very important roll. It's also a lot of fun to watch them stockpile bennies on relatively easy encounters and then blow 'em all at once on a really hard one. Lets me through things at...

One of the techniques I use is to award Bennies (chits that can be saved and cashed in for an extra +2 to future rolls) for the use of an untrained skill in a skill challenge--whether it's successful or not. It has definitely helped encourage people to use appropriate skills even when it's not...

Yes and no, is pretty much the answer. Obviously, there is the Grand Plan, which has been well worked out since before the campaign started. From that plan, I broke things down into tiers (of which there will actually only be two in this game--Epic Level play isn't really quite right for the...

Yeeps! Thanks for the kind words, everyone. It's an honor to be on board such a fun show. I can't wait to see what we cook up for you. ;)

Ellinor's explanation is a pretty good one. Angels in the Halmae are basically creatures of divine origin. They are considered to contain within them, to a greater or lesser extent, some part of some aspect of the divine--and remember that not all aspects of any given god in the Halmae get...

Sorry for the response delay. Things are a mite busy over Fajitas-way at the moment... The short answer is that demons and devils are really just nasty angels. All servants of the one of the gods are considered angels. But, like human worshippers of the gods, there's a lot of variation in...
