<We cut to a cavernous chamber with vaulted ceiling deep in the bowels of the Congress of Savagery. Impressive bas reliefs of battle scenes, gladiatorial bouts, and heroes wrestling great monsters adorn the otherwise bare, stone walls. Several dim candles flicker in votive dishes to provide...

I believe @AbdulAlhazred is speaking about Teleportation key word Powers, ie those used in combat. Long range teleportation is moved to Rituals in 4E.

Okay, getting mechanical details out of the way first. The PCs are now at 28,000/32,000 needed for L12. @Nephis and I talked over possible rewards, what would be most fictionally interesting/fitting that builds out of what just transpired. With that in mind, @Nephis has chosen the Elemental...

Okay, as @Nephis and I discussed, I would like to define and mechanize some of the threats raised thus far and in which she has indicated interest via her PC (back)stories, turns in the game (including attendant fiction), and Quests. To do so, I utilized Dungeon World’s Fronts mechanic...

The Half-giant winces briefly, as if in pain at the memory of how shaken is Gae'al, how once the ancient force of fire destroyed The Primal Stone. But she sets aside that crestfallen mood in recollection of the vision Stoneroot imparted to her, His rising from the ashes and smothering Vezzuvu's...

I would like to wager another Advantage for 2 Successes should I succeed against the Hard DC here. From the very beginning of his tale, Bita-Bahlin's behavior seems off to CHANVATI. And so he projects his senses psionically into the ki energy underlying all matter and the space between. A...

"Duchess, forgive me," CHANVATI begins and makes a low bow. "I did not recognize Your Excellence, having not yet had the pleasure of such proximity. "Beets," the Merchant Prince continues, turning to face his paramour, "do you wish to speak to your brother on the matter we discussed?"...

Despite our very strong inclination to Risk It for the Biscuit and an irrational desire to help Naaphid save face (perhaps he will prove useful later?), there is no way we're passing this up! CHANVATI takes in the scene before him, sizing everything up in a moment. "Bita-Bahlin, old...

"Mavi-ishiq be praised," CHANVATI intones drily. "And may her Imperial Majesty in Her Infinite Wisdom be praised." He raises a glass of the liquor. Sips it. Coughs uncontrollably as the fiery beverage burns his throats and bronchial tubes. Under the guise of hiccoughs, the Psion reaches out...

Oh, sure! I mean, so long as everyone is having fun, it's easy enough to adjust on the fly to address any unintended perturbation. Perfection doesn't need to be the goal. I'm just noting that even after a pretty thorough read through and several sessions, I still wasn't grasping how all of the...

Yes, indeed! Brilliant game, and the pieces are so tightly interwoven. It took me half a dozen, ten sessions to really understand how that is so.
