The plan seemed to go well, with Doc and Gimlak diving off of the cliff and flying low, concealed by the cliffs from the eyes of the stone giants atop the gatehouse. The many torches flickered in the wind, still quite strong, even if it was the most calm it had been since their arrival. As night...

Oh, okay. Lord Darfin has a small staff of locals at his Townhouse (a Cook, a Maid, a Butler). They can deliver your (and Dandin's) messages. Oh-Six is with Tommi, then, like your post states.

I personally liked the 4e practice of separating the rules from the fluff, specifically where they would write a purely fluff description of an ability, and then a purely mechanical description of the same ability underneath. I know 4e was controversial, but I'm not sure that (much) of it was...

Hear, hear. There aren't two sides to this argument - there are more. Keywords aren't really the problem that's being put forth in many of the seemingly anti-keyword posts, and you don't have to create rules ambiguity by writing in a "natural language" style. It is perfectly possible to do...

Didn't Oh-Six just head off with a note for Jynn? I doubt that it will be back to follow either group through a portal. However, it could easily catch up to Tommi sometime tomorrow afternoon, simply by following the Trade Way south.

I agree. The reason to capitalize the first letter in a keyword (if you're going to do that - I mostly like it, but I'm not saying that it's the only way) is to point out within natural language that it is, in fact, a keyword. This is why, in my earlier post, I say that you can say, "You are...

The Daggerfordians were still forming various complaints and voicing concerns while piled in Lord Darfin's kitchen. It was the lowest floor of the townhouse, and had a hard-packed dirt floor with a large stone fireplace, an iron oven, and a central prep station made of oak and brass. Delfen...

I remember a time when X-Men comics were seized at the border between Canada & USA (1990 give or take a year or two) because the custom agent assumed it was pornographic. It had an X in it, right? This is a true story.

He could probably make a pretty good career at this point by DMing live events or streams. I guess it depends on how "retired" he plans to be.

They started charging it on this past Tuesday's invoices. I think an employee told me that a few items had the charge listed last week, but no one had told me about that before. I have yet to look at it to see what, but it was pretty close to most things we brought in this Tuesday. I now have to...

I get what you're saying, and I appreciate the advice. It's just that much of what we sell has already been hitting what I would call a "cost ceiling". For example, many board games have nearly doubled in price since 2020. It was not unusual during that time for us to sell a board game and then...

Darfin wouldn't be going alone. Shalendra would accompany him, and both were as much wizards as they were swordsmen. In the traditional elf style, they had studied both. On top of that, they insisted that the House of Long Silences was staffed with elves who had been loyal to their father. The...

Sure, but "understanding" doesn't keep the lights on. All it takes for us retailers to adapt is for our customers to communicate what they intend to buy and what they intend not to buy (before we order it for them). It's the job for us to know these things. But you would be surprised how...

How so? I meant the statement you responded to to express how I would handle the stress not that I wasn't going to make any changes to how I operate. That, like it always is, will be a juggling act. It's not like I don't carry anything by Canadian makers. It's that they don't count for a huge...

"Haw!" laughed Delfen Yellowknife, who's Wizard Tower was not far from The Happy Cow Tavern, and he was listed among Lionel's mother's favorite patrons. He explained his private joke before Lionel had time to feel insulted, "It occurs to me that we should have asked Constable Miller to let your...

Keywords are great. They should be used to lower word counts in rules' wordings, not extend them. Saying "You are Blinded and Deafened" is using keywords correctly (in particular if you are capitalizing the words). Saying "You have the Blinded and Deafened conditions" is just being needlessly...

Sherlen shot Tommi a look that clearly meant, "Don't oversell it, you idiot." But she said, "Yes, we will go there and begin our search. I'm certain that Lady Shalendra will gather herself to 'come quietly' in the meantime. We will be back to fetch her when the Wizard is in custody."...

It's not affecting backing of the kickstarter, but it will almost definitely affect fulfillment.

As long as they don't physically cross the border, which a shocking number of things (Comics are a good example in my business) have done in the past. Obviously a practice that we are collectively going to have to stop doing. (For those unaware, many Comics have, for decades, been printed in...
