So far I have 2 people who are definite "not availables" for the 17th. Is nobody else able to commit? What about interest in trying to do something on the 23rd or the 30th? Probably not an SOL game that night as we will be missing Deigh. But there are plenty of things we _could_ do. All...

I have run TFT Archery tournaments in the recent past. Like you I was a bit surprised at the initial success rates. Then I realized how hard it would be for your average warriors to actually reach those numbers. Tweaked out PCs should be able to outclass the average folk pretty quickly...

Technology So the next major question is about technology. What is a good technology level? Most D&D games have a presumption of a pseudo medeival technology level. There is a lot of inconsistency with that sort of thing, but as a baseline assumption, it still works. Nevertheless, there...

Allow me to be clear. Most of these questions and ideas are in relation to a future campaign. Yes, some can be implemented immediately, but something as deep as the foundation of alignment is not an easy replacement in the middle of a campaign. It could be done, of course, but it wouldn't be...

Alignment & Morality D&D heavily relies on the concept of good and evil, order (called law) and chaos. It is possible to downplay these elements in the game and to leave morality a lot more ambiguous. But I am pretty sure Gary Gygax's ideas were to have a heroic game where good trimuphs over...

Fantastic Landscapes I like having nice, normal landscapes for the 'workhorse' view of the world. But there should also be fantastic locations. Places that are unusual and unique. While the workhorse view is what normal people see in the world, the fantastic is what adventurers find, well...

While I do not have an ending point in mind for this campaign, that doesn't mean I don't look ahead to what new campaigns might be like. That is part of why I like to put together my own homebrew type worlds. Actually, I very much have ideas on future campaigns. All sorts of changes and...

That, my friends, was a Mouth of Madness. ;) (Templates are the DM's friend.)

There would be some minor climatic considerations there. But it wouldn't be much different than a small mountain range. You do need to consider the impact of sea trade. Is this a sheer cliff? Does it have any way to ascend/descend? Have enterprising individuals created a massive elevator...

Dinkledog, I would be happy to help out if I can. I have not received any emails so I have been operating under the assumption that you have not yet gotten to me yet. So have you worked through the list of donors? If so, I never received an email. :( Are you still working through the list...

The plan is to move trees inside the Complex. Those resources are valuable both during and after the seige. While funneling resources into chokepoints is a viable defensive measure, it does not necessarily play to the strengths of the Complex. In a best case scenario, the entire army would...

Josefus nods with reluctant acceptance. "Your assistance will be well received. But my anxiety stems from not knowing what else is afoot in the world right now. Let us hope that we have not grossly underestimated the enemy."

At the point where SOL returns to Mt Ternell, the resources of the Complex are being dedicated almost exclusively to the upcoming battles. Josefus looks a bit disappointed. "If you were able to recover the Sword and return it here before the upcoming assault, we would surely be able to...

Yep, stuff like this is cool. Hey Arwink, didn't you and I post nearly the same thing on nearly the same topic in a different thread some time ago? ;)

Heat 20 Josefus receives the morning report from the army. The withdrawal is proceeding as expected. The giant and his minions are continuing pursuit. Knowing that it is unlikely he will be needed, Josefus sequesters himself into an inner sanctuary and sets himself down into an elaborate...

If there is, I will be happy to be a spectator. It's too silly to make everyone wait for my schedule. Right now, with the project in a nosedive, it does not look like I will be free with my time for a while. I would not be surprised if it continues for another year.

Deigh would have had the end of Plowing, all of Sowing and all of Greening to commission magic. After Heat 5, things get very loopy at the Complex.

Timeline Let's see, the SOL wintered at the Ternell Complex. Around Spring, you all headed out and dealt with Nockmort. Then you had to retreat back to the Ternell complex to recover. Shortly thereafter, you travelled to Mt Korliss. You arrived at Mt Korliss sometime near the end of...

Decisions The Church of Pter has several chapels, churches, temples etc across the world. Whenever possible, they try to remain in communication. This isn't a universal constant. As an example, there is practically no communication with the churches in Li's and Wu Cho's homeland. Sadly...

The Floating Peaks The Floating Peaks are more akin to legend and myth rather than a real place. Of course, the Shrine of Tranquility and the Road to the Gods are both legend and myth to most people. The three spellcasters before you can attest to the reality of the Shrine of Tranquility...
