Thanks! This helps. I'm still drafting out where I'm going with this. (Working title: Mirskwood Chronicles.) After I noodle on the above, I'm going to have some follow-up questions. With that madness for context: anything I should know, or am seriously misaligned on?

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding some of the broad details of the Demonocracy. First off: where are they from? I always assumed Baator (The Nine Hells). We use terms like "Golden Legion" to describe them, which has a Lawful feel to it. And when you visit Egalitrix in adv12, it has a...

The PCs slowly transition from being FBI agents to CIA agents. The RHC-side of their careers hits its climax at the end of adventure 3. Then they're off being CIA for adventure 4. And adventure 5 is the last time they'll even feel tied to the city of Flint as a home base (and, aartvb...

This comment demands elaboration.

Hrm, okay. So where are the graveyards in Flint? I'm focusing on someone who was of moderate wealth and moderate social connections, who is definitely a "Flinter". A small business owner in the Central District. (A tailor of men's business attire, to be precise somebody's gotta be making all...

In Risur, what is considered the proper/traditional way to pay final respects to a dead body? I don't see any mention of graveyards or crypts, so I'm guessing it's not burials. Do they cremate? Ritualistically feed the body to some sacred animal? I'm looking to include a funeral (for an...

When it comes to the recent history of Obscurati excavation efforts, here's my notes: Special mention: So that's 5 ziggurats plundered by the end of adventure 3. To round out the other ziggurats:

Spoilers follow. Linia is mad, and raving quite a bit. She's covering an array of topics, most of them related to William Miller, who I believe is who tied her up. This describes the needlewire effect, when Nicodemus possesses someone. I think this is a reference to resisting charm magic...

The books don't make this clear until later, but the global planar effect of the moon of Mavisha is that it's hard for divination to get a read on anything that occurs on an island. So there's an in-game reason to obfuscate any attempts to probe Also, most of the Ob's secretive stuff takes...

I hadn't tried previously, but since you asked, I decided to take a crack at her. Unfortunately, I found her very challenging. 1) in general, it's hard to get MidJourney to do inhuman races 2) in general, it's nearly impossible to get MidJourney to do non-standard poses 3) the particular...

You can understand and put into use 99.5% of the content of this book without A5E. It's a setting book, and the vast majority of it is fluff. And even for the few crunchy parts, like the Bestiary, if you're the GM, you can shave off their A5E bits and use them just fine. The only place where...
