[QUOTE="maceo, post: 7760714, member: 78345"] I just finished watching [I]Episode 1: Enemy of the Guildpact[/I] in the [I]Ravnica: Broken Pact[/I] series. It is the first episode of a planned 10-part series with plans to continue the story if the show is popular enough. The third episode will be broadcast live from TwitchCon. A Q&A also revealed more [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/list.php?category/64-Ravnica"]Ravnica[/URL] information.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK][CENTER] [ATTACH=FULL]112034[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] Each episode is followed up by a Q&A and discussion called [I]Talk Pact[/I] that included all the players and the DM this time but will probably not include all members in future episodes of the Q&A portion. The characters are starting at level 3 and are: [LIST] [*]Astorok, a minotaur fighter (champion) of the Boros Legion [*]Velma Sweet, a half-elf bard (college of whispers) for the Orzhov Syndicate [*]Lucian Ladrian, a human cleric (Order domain) law mage for the Azorius Senate [*]Tutturu, a loxodon cleric (Life domain) of the Selesnya Conclave [/LIST] During the session they did try and explain both some D&D terms for people who might not be familiar with the game and Magic and Ravnica terms/concepts for folks who aren’t familiar with the game or setting. The DM said that famous MtG characters will appear in the show. A few pieces of information came out of the session and the Q&A afterwards that might be new: [LIST] [*]Instead of copper, silver and gold, in Ravnica, they use zibs, silver and zenos. Zibs are equal to copper pieces. Zenos are equal to gold pieces. Silver is 4 to a zeno (instead of 10 to a gold). There are also 10 zeno platinum pieces. Different guilds might also create their own coins but not all of them. [*]There are no dwarves or tieflings on Ravnica. Vampires are not a player race option in the book. [*]Interplanar travel is not something most people know about. [*]The Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica has enough information to get non-Magic players into the setting. [*]Gods and patrons have to be handled slightly different in Ravnica. [*]There are no rules in the book about planeswalking. [*]There are no references in the book to the Guilds’ colors. The players said that their choice of all White-aligned guilds was not on purpose. [*]There are stats in the book for plenty of famous characters. [*]The book doesn’t mention any spells not being allowed. [*]The book goes over how you can make a party of all one guild work or a party made up of different guild members. [*]There are map resources in the book. There is a map of the 10th district and the precincts within the district. [/LIST] Since it was the first episode it consisted mostly of character introductions and the establishment of a mystery to solve. [HR][/HR][B][SIZE=4]Episode 1 Recap[/SIZE][/B] The episode begins in a vernadi within Vitu Ghazi (Selesnya).
