This fits perfectly with Ob overall tendencies. They are too good to plan for possible mistakes.

Wizard did it. My party (in adv.10) spent a ton of time trying to decypher every last bit of the ritual, so I had to handwave an explanation pretty close to what RangeWickett has said above: the Ancients were going for reliability, not efficiency or elegance, so they produced the focal magic...

Well, if this is fine from copyright perspective... Here are the maps for the Last Starry Sky from my archive.

Necroing this thread, since I finally got around to getting my VPS to run Foundry (among other reasons), and I find it vastly superior to roll20, although a bit more difficult to set up... We're currently in (another) hiatus in the beginning of adv.12, so I have my time to prepare for a bit. Has...

Isn't this literally Shadowheart, to quote a rather recent example? I'm surprised "templars are evil" are still a point of contention after BG3

Do avangions still count as "technically sorcerer-kings"? Can Oronis serve as inherently good SK patron? Full disclosure, I know very little of canon

This totally may have been my hallucination :)

The campaign mentions somewhere that shadow trolls who live under the bridges of Stanfield channel (at the service of Ob) tear apart their prey, and recently Ob started to feed them some traitors. I think the original intent was that mutilated body parts pass from the Bleak Gate to material...

I think back in 2018 they got absorbed into Paradox after some kind of VtM v5 scandal with bad drama. TBH I haven't played the latest revision, so it blew right past me.

I was just telling about Microscope to a new group last week, and now I have a new playtest to share with them! I've used the original system for pokemon deep lore, crossover between Star Trek and Oz, generic "star frontier" settings, Zeitgeist campaign background, all sort of things, honest...

Press release: Haven't seen a topic for this, I hope it's the appropriate forum. Is this "nothing news", just bureaucracy for publishing? Could this be risk management, separating development of low-profit tabletop games from main Paradox Interactive things? EDIT:

Yes! Thank you, I was honestly doubting my sanity. The madness now infects another campaign (in a slightly different form)

I've had a half-formed fanon idea based on a vague memory that one of the worlds (in Gyre?) had a single continent with 12 sea bays, inhabited by ingenious dwarves (reference to Dwarf Fortress). I can swear I've seen this somewhere but I can't find it now. Anyone? Did I dream all this?

Alternative Firearms rules? [4e] yay, here's my thread from back in the day discussing firearms in detail. There are some ideas there, but still no concrete solutions.

Ahahaha, I remember exactly the same problem when we were starting an unholy number of years ago! You don't even need Alchemical Launcher/Ammunition Clip, Battle harness armor allows drawing an unlimited number of grenades per turn, then you just throw them by hand (and 4e economy ensures that...
