It is true that our game is of the purely text-based variety, so our roleplaying can more readily afford to focus on the nitty-gritty details of the setting, and the many gaps left open by the adventure path. It is simply the nature of the beast that is text-based, heavy roleplay. If anyone...

Arkwright's particular method of revamping/expanding the convocation and the Ascetia has indeed led to some of the most well-written sequences in the campaign thus far, and I appreciate the intense amount of effort that went into doing so. Also, throughout our interlude between books #11 and...

I think that the Obscurati are serviceable antagonists. In the broadest of strokes, they are absolutely amazing, but my DM and I do not think that they hold up to a closer scrutiny on what their ethics, morals, and philosophies actually are. Ryan Nock has explained much of the thought processes...

(I edit my posts frequently, Ryan Nock, so I urge you to have a second look at the post just above yours. My apologies for that.) I can understand the idea that Nicodemus actually wanted Miller's Pyre for a baseline, but I do not think that book #7, as presented, actually conveys the idea all...

Elfaivar in book #8 seems underbaked, yes. This is not even a matter of word count, since I think you placed too much effort and word count into places that never see in-game action, such as the various Elfaivaran colonies. There is not enough spotlight on things that are actually bound to come...

There remain pockets of interest in 4e around the internet. We belong to many different camps, some more mechanically- and optimization-inclined than others, and even those who are mechanically- and optimization-inclined tend to be broken up into sub-camps that do not quite get along with one...

I am one of the two players in this take on Zeitgeist. This adventure path has been the single greatest premade adventure path I have ever played, but that comes with a disclaimer of me having high standards for adventure-writing. This overall campaign has likewise been the single best campaign...

A bold move, seizing personal power rather than resurrecting an entire population. I am unsure of why all of these eladrin Malice ghosts are in Ascetia myself. What was your rationalization for them having wound up in Ascetia specifically?

Before even setting off to the Summer Court, we took a moment to ingratiate ourselves to Melissa and the Panoply in Seobriga. We also did very well in the court case, thereby strengthening our friendship with Brakken. We befriended Glaucia too, helped by sharing some skyseer predictions. We also...

Our group effectively followed the sidebar on doing what is best for Ber rather than playing to Shantus's whims. We realized early on that Shantus was a bad leader, and the Panoply had a strong movement against him. We decried and shamed Bruse Shantus in his own throne room for trying to...

Mention that it was renamed "Ragman's Run" and leave no explanation whatsoever.

I think it is fine as well. I am still hoping for more of a spiritual sequel than a same-world sequel. Can you interpret the adventure path as having most setting changes be localized to the party, and relatively played-down? Absolutely. Does the adventure path in its GM advice sections go to...

According to Morrus in the other thread, this book is supposed to be a sequel to the adventure path. I am a little worried, because the product description makes it sound like not much at all has changed since the adventure path's conclusion.

This listing for a setting book has come to my attention. From my reading of the product description, it seems that this will not be a sequel, but rather, a book for the setting as it is at the start of the adventure path. I can see that being a valid choice: a setting book for adventures in the...

What makes you say that the founders were former members of the Golden Legion? Ashima-Shimtu, for example, is a demon and not a devil. There is little saying that only the Golden Legion and the Gidim invaded the Waking back in the days of the Ancients. Indeed, the Ancient history appendix says...

Ignore.

I can buy the logic that the blade being more effective against tieflings is due to misplaced and outdated enmity towards the original Danorans responsible for the Great Malice. But why demons and devils?

The confusing thing here is that Asrabey's sword is arguably weaker than Cula Ravjahani's sword, which goes up to reach 3. Since both are labeled as "Vekeshi blade," and Cula's blade is described as "composed of fire that has been kindled for five centuries since the death of Srasama," does that...

Where is it stated that Asrabey's blade started off as a sword of Srasama? I gave Asrabey the sixth blade of Srasama, keyed to the crone, in my game regardless.
