Re: Traveling Banker, PLEASE HELP
On this topic, just found a very interesting article on how ancient Romans would lock bags of money with padlocks that only the intended recipient could open. Of course, it's not going to protect against cutting the bag, but such tampering would be obvious, and if I was entrusted with one of these o...

Re: Ivana's wrath over her own
Wouldn't be that hard to reskin Feasting With Falcons to take place in Borca. --Someone sent by Ivan to assassinate Clothilda --Clothilda and Marcos are conspiring, she's going to provide intel on Falkovnian rebels --Gondegal (or his representative) working to infiltrate the meeting and swap the lis...

Re: Bringing him home, Lord George Weathermay
I had a huge campaign arc based around all of this, with a dreamwalking PC helping to get Jules to communicate with the others, and helping George to cope with letting the twins down, as he saw it. George was actually in an asylum after some sort of confrontation with Natalia, but he was nearly cata...

Re: CoE and Mistways
To avoid yet another dead and dull spreadsheet of numbers that adds very little life to the setting, each Mistway should have its own rules. Maybe clerics can pin down a few, but a few taunt them. The clergy, greedy eyes on the merchants' gold, keep requesting adventurers gather rare stone and ingr...

CoE and Mistways
Rereading the stuff about Mistways, I forgot how reliable even "moderate" reliability was. I feel like someone in the church would set up shrines at all the two-way Mistways they could find, staffed by clerics who would offer to guide weary travelers, for the appropriate donation. It only ...

Dismal Place Names in Darkon
I was working on Darkon for my in-game wiki and it occurred to me that names like "Mountains of Misery" and "Vale of Tears" are just comically bad for the mood. I was considering changing some of them to Latin, but then something else occurred to me. I now have the following note...

Re: Plot Assistance Needed: Memento Mori of Maykle
I would flat out ignore the rule then. Ummm...which rule am I ignoring?! Assuming you're referring to Ryan Naylor's Pathfinder in the Mists, levels in Anchorite stack with cleric levels (or whatever divine spellcasting class the character initially got the Mists domain from) to determine Mist domai...

Re: Purpose of Darkon's "Claiming"
IIRC the original text said that memory rewriting was Darkon's border closure, but that would mean Azalin has the borders closed all the time. I also recall that he developed this border closure deliberately, as one of the few Darklords who actually deliberately embraced getting a domain. So...why?...

Re: Gundarak (Land of Oppression and Whim)
Races: Humans 95, Dhampyr 4%, other 1% ). Inhabitants:2,000,000. Important towns : Teufeldorf (65,000 in, Standard, L/E) So...doing the math here, there would be 80K dhampyrs--more than the entire population of Teufeldorf. Why so many? Are we using the PF stats where they are a playable race, or th...

Re: HELP NEEDED: Crossover Event with Die by the Dice Podcas
Okay, here's more: Revain tried to steal the Starstone power core of Absalom many years ago. He was unsuccessful, but RL has created the domain as if he succeeded, sort of. The Starstone has the ability to grant apotheosis, BUT it subjects candidates to tests to see if they are worthy. So when he fi...

Re: The Stars are NOT right...
So, are the stars the same over each Domain? Is this similar to the Crystal shell idea from Spelljammer? Do Domains that were once part of the Core, but are now displaced as Islands have the same sky? What exactly is the 'sun'? If it is a shell with the stars on the inside, how big is the moon? Can...

Re: Horse realistic move action
Can you give the attacker the Spring Attack feat? That will allow it to swoop in, attack, and swoop out in a single full round action. I believe it's "fly by attack" for flyers Yeah, I figured there was a different name for it. Variations on a theme. You may also be able to use initiative...

Re: HELP NEEDED: Crossover Event with Die by the Dice Podcas
Okay, so more information: this place will basically be the RL reflection of Absalom Station, the major space station of Starfinder: https://starfinderwiki.com/sf/Absalom_Station So...whatever kind of station that is, that's what this is. I may or may not crib a map of Absalom for this adventure, bu...
