Obviously a grand and puissant working of magic for an even greater end! Yes.* It goes back about its business, and astrologers the world over are very confused. That said, there are certainly complications that could arise. Such a monumental change in the heavens would have echoes through...

Does the grits video still exist? It's a bold claim to say he some made a couple people wrestle in grits for a promotion without some proof of that. I'm having a discussion with a third party.

My fixes are thematic, I guess you would say. I state my intent when the spell becomes available and the why of its invention. Rope Trick; Hide in a closet long enough to catch your breath, cast a couple spells, or drink a potion. Facilitates a short rest by spending a second level spell. Note-...

Silt or dust doesn't work like that, but... Mars does have periodic planet-wide dust storms that block the sun for extended periods of time. I could certainly see something similar happening in Athas. If, somehow, the silt and dust could flow I could see currents. Tides would be "interesting"...

For me a short rest doesn't take a specific amount of time so much as have specific requirements. The characters require 5-10 minutes of minimal physical activity. No environmental damage. A "safe" environment where they are not actively evading or hiding pursuers. No active concentration...

Have things to buy. So, expansive equipment lists, home and manor furnishings for the discerning adventurer, items for status, clothing choices that not only protect in various kinds of inclement weather but also killer fashion for the Baronial Ball, pets- both utilitarian and exotic. People...

One example I've seen is the radio room scene from Where Eagle's Dare. The spy climbs a wooden stair to a new floor, sets a case down, walks down a hallway pst a T-intersection, and ito a radio room to stab the radio operator. Potential stealth needs are arrival on the landing, passing by the...

Physics with added magic. If I can have a method that follows physics, even with a little magical "help", that's preferred. Neat idea! Thanks. Cool ideas! Thanks. Good question! Yes, fungi make up a significant part of the diet. There are also farms where starlight is collected. There are...

Right, but... That's what I was thinking. There can be significant radiation coming from the accretion disk. That might act with the magnetic field of the planet or the moons themselves. At a survivable distance, of course. If the radiation from the black hole's disk will be too diffuse at an...

Light comes from the sun and is reflected by the moon. Thus we can see both as they follow their courses. How could we have visible, even bright, moons without a sun? Magic is allowed, but only as a facilitator and not foundationally. We can't just magic the moon to be bright. The sun is a...

True, however, they are your enemies today, and perhaps allies tomorrow. Such is how I see the chaotic nature of that plane. "Eskar, you dog! How come you back here?" Crap... "Bevlin... I need to cross this pass to reach the the town of Hammerslay. Don't think to stand in my way, for I have in...

There's a quote from RuneQuest / Glorantha that always stuck with me from the cult of Ernalda the Earth Mother- "Violence is always an option, but there is always another way." Ysgard typifies that statement to me. You can always bash your way through a problem, but it is not definitively the...

I'm going to have to look at the current write-up more closely. I remember BITD that they would consider bronze, but noble metals were beneath their notice.

Our go-tos are becoming Seven Wonders: Architects, Shifting Stones, and Obscurio.

Boardgame time for everyone else.

I disagree. Iron ore would be like, oh, beets with iron or steel metal being refined sugar. That's why they're so eager to meet adventurers. They have candy!

We have Mez but not Nyca? Huh, too bad.

For me, Limbo is a sea of Ylem, the primordial substance all things are made of. Originally nearly all was Ylem, but as the planes were created it was consumed. Now, Limbo is what is left over along with much partially structured into a concrete element or form. Even so, there are rules that it...

They're not. They are infused with the element since they bound themselves to it to gain power. Purpose? Not sure.
