    We cold also send a message now saying we will be seeking an audience at the quarter-moon, or whatever 3 days from now is. Not asking, but signalling we are heading out and going to ask. That way if they say no, we;ll know we have to do something else to, um, grab the Thane's attention.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Is Almost Upon Us! Discuss What You Want

    I finished a re-watch of SNW just last night. It remains consistently strong. Are there weaker episodes? Sure. The light addiction (1.03) and the child who saves a planet (1.06) don't work for me, and the story about the aliens in the fuel (2.06) had been done at least twice before in other ST...

    The Colonel stands silently, deferring to Donnell -- Sir Donnell -- as he asserts his newly won authority. He doesn't want to wait further. The castle afforded comfort, luxuries for each of the group, and the promise for more to come. But they were already proving too tempting... providing...

    I'll admit this is what I'm feeling. I like the idea of the Colonel having a lighting place and a little constabulary that he maintains in his retirement, but it would be a lot more fun just to play it than having to look for mechanical benefits.

    D&D 5E (2024) I think the Fey Ancestry Trait is better for PCs than actually being Fey

    There were absolutely problems with the 3.5 Level Adjustments (indeed my first post to this forum was about the implications of the monster hit dice for skills in 3.5), but there was no doubt they were thinking about the possibilities, and trying to make it work. I do not get that sense fro 5e...

    D&D 5E (2024) I think the Fey Ancestry Trait is better for PCs than actually being Fey

    In my opinion, the 5e designers seem particularly uninterested in playing nonstandard species as player characters. What the species contributes to the character has eroded. This has been true throughout the 5e era. What they produce is inconsistent and (often) easily breakable. Because they are...

    Assault on Dragonspear (5e PBP) IC

    Tommi has been listening to Sheren talk about her new responsibilities. Her eyes danced and she spoke with her hands, and she was so proud of what she'd been able to do and it was beautiful; she was beautiful. And Tommi got to watch her, to be with her. In the short time he'd been away, she'd...

    Inspiring leader is locked. It's up to the party as to whether they find Tommi inspiring! :D

    The Wild Magic Barb in Tasha's should work seamlessly with the 2024 base class (as Fitz has said). Also cool. Ha ha ha. I could also take Inspiring Leader, and leave it up to you as to whether Lunn feels inspired by Tommi (and takes the THP) or simply annoyed....

    So -- locked in: Arcane Study, Barracks, Teleportation Circle, Training area. I recognize it probably makes sene to coordinate the training are: for now we'll just give Athletics proficiency to anyone who exercises there!. Once the armory produces weapons, etc, for those in the barracks that...

    The Colonel had been posted to many plac es ove rthe years, not all of them even on this plane. He had been in service long enough that any cot with his trunk at the end was sufficient to call home. He had renewed his appointments, and grown as a soldier, not always with comfortable allies, but...

    Hey Team! Excited to get going. Almost ready to post. Taran -- perhaps you can help me where we landed on the Colonel's Bastion. I know we got a Barracks (5) and a Teleportation Circle (9). I think we also went with Workshop (5) and Training Ground (9), but I also know I wasn't really...

    Disclaimer 1: I like the constraints of the new bkgd system, but appreciate Fitz’s “swap any 1 thing” rule. Disclaimer 2: this is all me just freebasing. Play what you want; there’s nothing so fixed about Lionel that it can’t survive this. Opt 1 Take Farmer bkgd (subbing Dex for Str: Dex 15+2...

    Thanks -- honestly, I think it's fine. He had proficiency with cards and lute; neither has been relevant. I think what he knew of either has disappeared... (he says, looking at the sad and lonely mandolin in the corner of his room). :P

    All good. Tommi will want to spend time with Sheren if he can, officially reporting in to her as his parole officer. Also he;ll see his mom. Since Scout has not been updated, Tommi is now a THIEF. He's lost several skill and tool proficiencies, but they've really not been used he now has...
