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.

Personally, no more than two pages, a sheet front and back. For my 16th level wizard, I had a few more sheets than one. That included prepared spell lists, custom spells, estate layout, favor lists (owed and due), NPC hit list (and why), frenemies list (and why), and preferred restaurants and...

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.
