Ah yes, L5R... I don't know too much about it, but Tiz is a huge fan of the setting and the system. While I'm very obviously an anime fan, play JRPGs and am interested in japanese culture, I've never been drawn towards it. Maybe because the closeness is too much for my personal taste (I'd also...

Ooh, that sounds interesting! I guess that the adventure is meant to be set in your post-ZG setting? So I'm pretty curious to see which "default world" you would envision after the events of the original campaign. It will most likely differ a lot from ours though in my headcanon it could be...

I rally like your "Great Winter" foreshadowing of the events to come, even though I'm personally not a fan of shoving too much direct references of RL-mythology into a game world. What I'd suggest though is that you'd maybe adjust the text a bit to maybe include female nouns or names as well if...

A future uncertain: My dearest friend Once we're back in private, Carlyle stresses out that he won't the one to manipulate Kasvarina as this would just be wrong and against everything he believes in. So he asks Auryn to stay true to her creed as well as he knows that she is quite adept at...

Looks really interesting! And no, with PF2 you cannot simply swap between 5e and PF if you'd want a "crunchier" game. They are structurally very different beasts and if you look into the PF2 Core rules (which is a whopping 600+ pages book), you'll see why most players wouldn't "just switch...

Trying to rescue the Obs was definitely a risk, and not part of the mission, so I totally understand how your party made their choice. And yep, we also didn't know whether rescuing Vitus was going to fall back on us someday as to this point we've never met a decent Godhand. Tiz' personal dislike...

On difficult terrain Back in Flint, we use pretty dense security measures to bring all of our prisoners to the RHC for further questioning. We spend the next couple of days writing reports and interviewing all of the Obscurati, especially the higher-ups. Of course, we quickly and...

Shipping Fools We continue our focus on the conglomerate while Xambria Meredith and Vitus Sigismund take on the singular ghosts. After a while, we manage to dissolve all ghosts and the conglomerate. This Council, it seems, would a thing of the past. Macbannin thanks us for our...

(Hah, thanks! Just the beginning of a pattern from this part on... our characters acknowledged that Nic has some pretty interesting, and even good ideas, but he always manages to screw them up at some point. If he'd just follow his own ethics more strictly...) Crossroads, part 4: final parting...

Crossroads, part 3: Ghosts of the past We return to our rooms and then one by one summon Eskrine and Macbannin for a private talk. To everyone's surprise, Auryn directly turns to the ghostly ex-mayor and reveals that she knows about his plans to sacrifice himself via witch-curse. Macbannin nods...

oh you are right, they do have the rings! Maybe these things didn't exist when adventure 7 was written, so... yeah canonically, it should have been a mind blank

Politics and Prayers After the surprising Brave New world proposal, the discussion goes back and forth again. Bit by bit, another group begins to form around Dame Constance who seems to be keen on reaching yet another compromise with other factions. She, too, bases her idea on Miller's Pyre...

By that logic, these must be made by naughty word artists who could not even get basic perspective or anatomy right... ...and yet this is straight from the era which many better than thou oldschoole grognards so vehemently defend to base their realism upon ;)

Session 45 Crossroads, part 2: Change the world~BNW To be able to actually implement whatever kind of plan we might choose, we'd need more backup forces as four agents won't be able to bring all the Obs at once to Risur, pacified or not. Therefore, we send a message to Delft and ask...

Yeah, I also think that Nic genuinely believed that a majority voting for Miller's Pyre was a non-question, which is why he was back at his optimistic self. But the way I interpret him is that he's really bad at predicting how other people might react to different choices and situations. And...

Footsteps in the sand (or Prelude to the Crossroads) We then venture to the portal gallery to experience the effects of the planar configurations firsthand. While we're not sure how they managed to duplicate Giovanni's art of creating pocket dimensions in portals, we still guess that this...

Also, decide on how to run the adventures. You can either use 12 or 13 as the last one or split both up and run them side by side. The latter version seems to be the suggested path, but it leads to player-character dissonance, and possibly a bit of frustration. I'll go more into our "problems"...

That #5... totally happened in our ZG campaign! But for us, it only made sense before the events on Ascetia and the great rebirth. #6 is totally a Shahalesti descendant... or maybe the player got inspired by Voltron's Allura ;) #7 oooh yes baby <3

Regarding RP religions, I always love to point at the complex and very different religious systems of the Warcraft setting. It ranges from worship of the Light (basically a philosophy based upon a cosmic principle) to the Earthmother to the cthulhuesque Old Gods and their elemental servants to...

Oh, the madness hasn't even started. Tiz warned us that we wouldn't have too much of a chance to make a change here, but we... umm... ignored it and tried anyway? I mean, why do you make socially apt and influential characters after all? And yep, planar protection and Av were our main foci as...
