I saw Dune with my dad, we loved it. Lynch's vision matched his exceptionally well. Lost High was with Bill Pullman? That was one that I didn't get at all. Later, someone mentioned that David Lynch directed it, and that reframed my expectations for a second viewing. Enjoyed it that time.

Vague trivia - an ounce was described as a mouthful of liquid. A comfortable one, not maximal capacity. Which is why a liquor pour is two ounces. Two mouthfuls of liquor per serving. On topic: I remember in AD&D we would have people "bind wounds". A person would spend an action to prevent them...

Okay. That will probably become clearer around Map #19, then.

A part of Map 15 is to the "outside"? Or does the tower reach up out of the mountain?

I think Jester had an adventure where simulacra started cascading.

I've created a spell duration of "enduring" for some spells like continual light. While the spell is active you dont get it back. There are ways to get around that with appropriately priced foci that you cast the spell on instead, but the cheap way locks up the spell until it is dropped.

I don't know what was meant by "layering". Most of the time, there's a ceiling in the cave or dungeon that solves the problem. For the really big caverns you're out of luck, but it would still work near the wall of the cavern. That way you can have a diagonal thread from the floor to the wall...

This is semi-explicit in my campaign. The availability of alchemy, kindly grandmothers, and hedge wizards allows for an infant mortality approaching modernity. However, there are monsters out there, and excess population looking for some easy wealth heads out to cull the monsters. Which...

Oh, goodness, no. These are handbells, and I was thinking a pressure of of about 60-70 dB at 5 ft. People are holding these whilst ringing in concert. Nevah! :D But, yeah, I don't have an issue with it working as written, you hear it within 60 ft., not if farther.

Assuming that spells of 3rd level and below are "common" as well as 20th level characters being, say, 0.1% of the population, I would envision significant vertical urban centers. Many of the taller buildings would be constructed as exotic as possible to demonstrate strength, durability, utility...

Well, roughly speaking, sound pressure (dB) decreases by 6 dB with the doubling of distance.

Reading comp fail.

It is. They're CE, LE, and NE, but I don't know if the colors have been paired with an alignment.

Just starting to go through this thread, but noticed this point. Kiln People, by David Brin goes into this from a technological angle. His vision of how society changes is quite interesting.

The only 5e books I've purchased are the core three. That was mainly to see what developments had occurred and be able to participate in 5e games if I had a chance. I will probably by the core three of the new edition so I can be conversant with whatever changes are happening. I don't say this...

I gained a new appreciation for modrons after I read The Metal Monster by A.E. Merritt. He did a good job creating an alien species that is composed of cubes, globes, and tetrahedrons. I would wager that was the inspiration for modrons in the first place. EtA: The alien city is rather...

Oh! Godbound would be viable for inspiration, too.

For me, either Mythic or Early Modern. The fall of Troy was when the last of the heroes and demigods threw down (supposedly), so that would make for a great climax. And, makes sense to seed the legends and myths. Or, Early Modern as the breakthroughs were being made and polymaths had enough...

I find myself nearly in agreement with @DEFCON 1 ; Bard: charm person, disguise self, comprehend languages (Ideal!) Cleric: sanctuary or protection vs evil*, cure wounds, bless Druid: entangle, faerie fire, speak with animals (Ideal!) Paladin: divine favor, shield of faith, command Ranger...

I haven't yet, but I have a player who is playing the first monk (mystic) in my bespoke D&D for ~8 years, with only three in the past 20. I have some issues with the class mechanically, but, weirdly, I haven't come up with different orders yet. I'll have to get on that. My temples, magical...
