So Risur already got two Houses, but the general populace doesn't have much say in them. If Nevla wanted to change the system, then the easiest way would be to have elected governors instead of them being appointed. You'd then just have to make sure that this doesn't effectively de-power the...

Depends on your group... from my experience, if you plan on making it through all 13 Chapters of ZG or all 12 of WotBS, then it might be a good investment to give basic info about the setting to your players and ask for a rough concept in advance in case you'd wish to adjust the setting or add...

A new home After officially moving in, Auryn offers Isobel to give the rental contract for her home to her so she may use the place for herself and Andrei. Flying Spark, on the other hand, decides to try expand his territory to a second garden. Before the grand Vantrys-Fordren wedding, Auryn...

coincidentally, we loved both Cippiano and Ottavia (who returned to Crisillyir after adventure 4) and they will continue to play pivotal roles regarding Crisillyir. So kudos on both of them :) And yes, their relationship clearly has its ups and downs, that much I can say. (Weirdly enough, I'd...

(Oh and for a non-spoilery teaser: The campaign ended with a thunderstorm 15 years after the Ritual) Private developments Next, we discuss Doctor von Recklinghausen and Andrei and decide that leaving the Doc in Seobriga would be better for the time being. After all, he still got work to do and...

I'm 35. Turning 36 very soon. Do I have to be afraid? :D

Huh, that's interesting. Being a website with a rather long tradition and seeing quite the amount of grognards on the forums, I would have guessed that EN would attract an older demographic than WotC. Also, I'm a bit surprised to see that despite this age differences, EN is that male. Usually...

Well, countries that were heavily dominated by the Clergy / had been part of Crisillyir before would certainly adopt their calendar. They also adopted common as their primary language (well, Drakr didn't, but Danor and Crisillyir had once been one nation). I specifically meant Risur, the...

But...but.... why would Risur even use the Crisillyiri term AOV? Wouldn't they rather count AK (after Kelland) and BK (before Kelland)? They wouldn't call the Malice "our Victory", would they? Also, Kelland's founding happened even before Crisillyir was even a thing.

I, for one, am astonished at the feat of turning something as tiny as a frog bone into a weapon. Let alone 10.

Aww, but I really like both duos. Also, now that we finished, I got to take a glimpse into the source material myself and see what I can find. My first original find back in the days had been the von Recklinghausen doctors which might or might not be another coincidence: Heinrich von...

I already had the feeling when we first met them in adventure 6, but due to a recent game release, I cannot help but wonder whether Rush and Merton are hommages to Reno and Rude from FF7. The similarities between Reno and Rush are exceptionally striking, even if Reno lacks the immovable rods.

just wanted to add that we just finished the campaign yesterday :D which means less time for german recaps (besides the last one) and more time for posts - yay!

/sigh While this is an interesting topic, I'd really love to see one of LP's articles that doesn't scream "old man yells at cloud" to me by stabbing at what he percieves to be the "spoiled youth of today" while reveling in his old-school-systems are superior mood. Well, here's my 2c: 1) I...

There are no "evil races" in my settings. Nuff said.

I guess it depends on your group and their affinity for min/maxing. Regarding skills, guess what most people will choose first once skills are FFA? Perception. Saving throws might work well, I suppose. I guess the classes all got 1 major/minor and 1 mental 1 physical, but yeah... I also...

also agreed that we shouldn't try to faux-historize here. It leads nowhere. The history of derailed and closed threads should be a warning sign for all of us. Long story short: D&D isn't a historical times sim. And unless you're a real historian with a focus on late medieval/renaissance you'd...
