I'm just saying, don't drink the water in Parity Lake.

Risur is a sort of mishmash of Britain and Brazil. Honestly burials are probably normal, though some communities might do funeral pyres.

I love the depth of your characters in this version of the campaign.

I know it changes the math of combat, but I wish the game had, instead of 3 actions, been 2 actions and a move, with no more than one action per round that deals damage. That makes using interesting abilities that modulate the conditions of the encounter easier, since you don't end up feeling...

The general concept of 'magic derived from the word of El the Eternal' is called kelma. Some of the foundational bedrocks of kelma are: Testaments - Seven very old stones, irregular in shape but weighing a few tons, inscribed in early language, conveying messages from seven angels to the...

I'm working on a Bronze Age setting for a novel. A driving conceit of the setting is that a civilization is built on holy dictates, graven in stone, made by a series of high priests over the course of centuries. Imagine a cross of Hammurabi's Code and the Ten Commandments, only if a tablet...

I mean, from Nic's perspective, you guys keep showing up and telling him he's wrong. Why would he want to listen to that, when he built his whole identity around being unjustly punished for being the only one willing to stand up for what's right? ("What's right" here includes "callous...

I'm following along as best I can, having not really interacted with Eberron since, ooh, 2009? Is the idea that the markings on Ottavia's neck are her dragonmark?

I don't know if I wrote it in the adventures, but in my home campaign that inspired WotBS (and the earlier campaign in which Rhuarc was a PC, and Coaltongue was just an upstart half-orc revolutionary), Trilla always had psychic powers. I think I had recently read some Dragonriders of Pern and...

Ah, the 'level you should get access' matters more for the magical stuff than just the raw stats stuff. Also, I think Roscommon and Khalundurrin were meant to carry the PCs through to later adventures without needing constant upgrades, to be pre-loaded with neat stuff. A complication to...

I hope the PCs don't feel too lost at this point in the campaign. Especially since That's a neat map. I miss having a desktop PC where I could make stuff like that. Got any surprises planned for adventure 6?

Uff, you're asking me to boot up a 10 year old OS in my brain. Okay, lemme try to remember how this system worked. I don't really understand the question, though. The party ought to be level, what, 11 when they start adventure 6? Aodhan just booped them into Paragon tier, yeah? (I assume...

Forum rules discourage political talk, but I'll briefly say that it seems unlikely the Republican party will allow such guard rails to be built. I'm not opposed to generative AI. Rather, I see discussions of it as a venue to highlight the root source of most of the problems in society...

As with so many things since the Industrial Revolution, the problem of new technology is not that it changes work, but rather that it allows an ever smaller number of people to consolidate the wealth produced by the economy at large, which leaves larger and larger numbers of people at the whims...

Hm. Interesting framing.

My understanding of the legality is that if you own the DVD, it's, like, legal enough for you to contact the creator of this fanedit and ask for where to download it. https://ifdb.fanedit.org/man-of-steel-a-symbol-of-hope/ (Another non-superhero fanedit I really liked took the Hobbit trilogy...

A friend of mine postulated that most monsters are just 'chupacabras' - meaning that they are simply things that leap out at you and try to kill you, and have no more 'story' to them than would an angry wolf. Like, most every demon just wants to tear you apart. They just have different powers...

If Batman decided to play baseball because his poor stepmother got insulted at a baseball game once and Bruce struggles with anger, and wants to beat up the guy, but decides instead to try to dedicate his victory to her in a big baseball game in order to spite all the meanies in baseball...

I'm deeply effing honored that this campaign was an impetus to the creation of so much art. (unless that's just two images with a bunch of versions labeled couple.final.no-really.fourthdraft.smallfixes.finalhopefully.etc.)
