    What’s the draw of licensed games?

    To me, it is a line between canon and homebrew. A stamp of approval, which implies some quality control, as well. Edit: I tend to prefer stuff that has the "serial numbers filed off". Canon can be cumbersome.

    Escape codes

    In the course of formatting a character sheet for a PbP game, I encountered some anomalies. One was star/asterix doing ugly things in a table (same row, different cells). I have no idea if it is related to the shortcut for italics. Attempt to replicate: failed. Guess I should have...

    Personally, I agree, but it's nice to have options. 🙂

    Think the worst parts of overcrowded Victorian London + monsters & magic (+ Hotel Califonia). 🙂 ETA: but not all of Sigil is like this. Our characters are currently in the Hive Ward. I would not be surprised in the least, if I were to learn that the name is a reference to "You will never find a...

    Aril and the "peddler": Aril smiles, and takes the trinket. "Oï friend, mayhaps it is, and mayhaps it is not; but on this day fate smiles on you, even if the Lady does not. I have a small bit I can spare today." ((Gives the pedlar 2cp)) "May Immortal Palartarkan uplift you." Aril glances...

    Jargon clarification moment. To doss-down = crash somewhere. I was referring to the folks asleep in the foyer; and the mess hall adjacent to the foyer. It's all good. 😁 Spellcasting noted.

    After speaking with the landlady, Aril saunters into the mess hall to get some breakfast. Once the note is read, Aril burns it, using one of the lanterns to ignite it. If anyone sees this, Aril just smiles and shrugs. That accomplished...out into the streets, and onwards to the location...

    Can I assume that Aril is smart enough to keep loose jink split up so it isn't all in the same place. 🙂 Five stashes: two carried, three hidden. Heading into the hive with more than 6gp (equivalent) ... well ... Of the three stashes in the kip: two are well hidden, and one is hidden poorly...

    @OneCrappy DM Five d20 rolls in order, for use as needed: 7, 11, 5, 18, 10 Questions: Does Aril know the location mentioned? Has Aril heard of the person mentioned by name in the note? After breakfast, starts heading towards the hive (if the tenement isn't in it).

    (IC) DND 3.5 Enter Planescape

    The creaking movement of the tenement as it floated on Sigil's surface barely registered in Aril's mind...until they matched the warning motions a pilot would give a sleeping crew right before executing a 360° ballast-jettison. Reflexively grasping the hammock's edge Aril braced for contact with...

    @Neurotic @TaranTheWanderer Thanks! This is actually my first PbP, so I appreciate the advice. 😁
