We didn't use much music in the campaign, but I had several pieces in my mind when it came to the "opening theme" for each chapter or regarding key scenes or characters. Maybe someday I will take some time to list them all. Most of them are OST or orchestral with the occasional metal or anime...

Yes, we basically did the same, with the exception of Taran being directly tied to "of the forest" and used the word "Sha" for "Light" or "Shining" as both Shaaladel (Sha-la-del -> Light over the horizon) and Shalosha (Sha-lo-sha -> Light of Lights) plus Shalandil, the last name of one of my...

We return to Pallita with the reassuring feeling of having at least one reliable ally within the Obscurati besides Alexander Grappa who is still inhabiting the body of Leone Quintal. Before we reunite with Kasvarina, we once again talk about the Arc of Reida and the opportunity it could provide...

Pretorian No. 9 Well, at least we now have some evidence that Nicodemus isn't permanently fused with our dear friend Andrei, another misdeed of the ghostly form of Miller which we readily share with Kasvarina. So there might still be hope that we can save our friend. We then search for a safe...

Oh you could use Dipnip for adventure 8. He's had so many rebirths that his "minding his own business" when that Srasama blast hit him is basically some sort of denial going on. If your player doesn't mind, then you can just toy with his past lives, especially if he is interested in that good...

Wow, one of your players married her? And here I thought we were the ones with the weird romance stories :D Oh and yes, having Nic with us on the journey would have been quite the ride. Maybe like one of those episodes where the party is stuck with the antagonist for some reason and there is...

Familiar ghosts After our short rest, we get up on our feet again. Kasvarina points out that she can feel the Arc resonate once more, which means that at least one other important memory would be nearby. So she places the artifact on her head again and instantly feels drawn into a...

Oh my, it has been months since my last recap? Time for a new one ;) Don't worry, I just had (and still have) a lot of work going on right now. The price of shame Besides feeling sorry for Asrabey, we finally have some clues where we could find out more of Kasvarina's lost memories...

Yep, that was also our turn on Stanfield. He's all talk, no action. We thought that it was simply because of realpolitics and because he wanted to keep his seat, but in reality he just threw everyone underneath the bus for the OB. And we threw that back at him with force when the time came to...

I once had a fighter who didn't have any sense of direction whatsoever. She could get lost in a larger, crowded inn. I had so much fun just bursting into the wrong room or stuff like that

Just go with the flow, I'd say. I know my players would be furious at me if I just killed off people they care about while they are present without giving them a chance to influence the outcome. Put her in danger (she's a melee cleric trying to prove herself) and see how they react. In my...

Avatar - King of overhyped films. Nice graphics & music, but that's it. Don't need no sequels. Pulp Fiction - Never got to me. Just "okay, it exists" The Walking Dead - was interesting at first, but then turned "k, but does it develop somewhere?" very quickly Better Call Saul - it can be...

My little pony - friendship is magic - expected a kids show and wanted to know what the fuss was about. Strangely good humor, pop culture references, character development and meta comments. Starship Troopers - with its cynicicsm and irony ranging from in your face to meta. Megamind - agree...

hmm... as an idea:

Shaaladel has been a tricky one for me, too. I tried to boil down his personality and motivations to form a version that would be coherent in my campaign, especially as I had two PCs who had their beef with the elf Lord. It came down to a couple defining traits: - He is a narcissist. He loves...

And here I thought that the Obscurati messed up so much with their failed ritual that they fired several planes straight to the Gyre... like, this is what happened to Urim, Nem and Reida (and Avilona before), right? And yes, the Gyre planes and the Obscurati proposals match quite well, but we...

To shatter a Dreadnought Faedhraven hails us at the entrance to Sentosa, and she appears to be her grumpy self again once she sees Betronga and Talios. We explain the situation to her and add that the Bagheva would rather turn to Sentosa for help than to ally with the Mad King...

The trial of Ingatan, or: There are four flames We return to Betronga and the Bagheva and bring him the good news. The Rajah is very happy hearing about the humans' departure, but we all don't know for sure whether the colonists may return somewhen in the future. So we suggest we'd...

Brilliant! Them suspecting Aodhan to be an OB might result in much mayhem until adventure 5 will clear him off :D

Spiritual diplomacy This time, we agree that the deva part of our duo might have the upper hand in the talks as the soldiers might take Carlyle for being part of the reinforcements they are desperately waiting for. Still we don't really know what we're getting into, so we decide to...
