@NautArch funny, when people say "the north" in talking about US geography I associate it either with (a) MN/ND/SD/IA/WI/MI (or thereabouts), or (b) one of the sides in a certain mid-19th-C. North American four-year armed conflict.
@Miniman Clarified that: at my table we've ruled jungle==forest vis-a-vis rangers, we'll deal with the land druid when the time comes! In any case, it was really the "while in one's favored terrain" I was thinking of, and forgot that my particular example would actually throw a wrench in things.
Okay: 3 sessions into Tomb of Annihilation and my DM-character is already 9th level. I'm kinda grateful someone pointed me at the "DM quests" document.
@WrongOnTheInternet I think it may just be a display bug, but the "WrongOnTheIntern" name I'm seeing for you now feels like it conveys something rather different than the "WrongOnTheInternet" that I usually see....
> There probably isn’t any link between King Brent and the man arrested last week (James II Rex?), they just both happen to believe this one part of the sovereign-citizen voodoo.
No link? They both have the same last name, and very similar middle names... Brent I Rex, James II Rex... is this some sort of family conspiracy(?)
@doppelgreener Welp, I'm up 'til 2am today but I should be good for tomorrow's game. I'm trying to use Roll20 to bridge the gap because GS121 kinda assumes physical closeness--it uses a lot of customized cards to track narrative effects.
> Mix 2.25 cups whole wheat flour with 1.5 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Separately, blend 1/2 teaspoon cloves, 1 teaspoon dry mustard (I used turmeric instead), 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon ginger with 1/2 cup olive oil. Beat 1 cup molasses and 3.25 tablespoons aquafaba into the oil and spices.
> Mix in the flour mixture, alternating with 1 cup hot water. Stir in 1/3 cup crushed walnuts and 1/3 cup chopped candied ginger. Beat for 30 seconds, then pour into greased, lightly floured pan (9x9x2'' or equivalent--I used two 4x7 pans). Baked for 45-50 minutes at 350F. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then turn out and let finish cooling.
For 5e AL players...is there any explanation given by WoTC as to why you can only pick from the PHB + 1 other source and not have all sources available?
@BESW Two Ideas spring to my mind, though both not optimal, probably: You could either just drag all the cards into a hidden GM-Area, flip them up and give them to the players from there, or you could use a rollable token.
@NautArch I don't recall anything in writing about it, either in AL documentation or on the AL and AL DM facebook groups. In the first seasions of AL that rule didn't exist: instead there was a notion of a character's "story origin." I believe story origins were still the rule in EE, but we were on to +1 by CoS; I forget which ruled during RoD.
Story origin pinned the resources one could use to the season during which the character was created: each season's ALPG would contain a custom list.
So the notion of limiting it was always around. Common wisdom has it that it was to keep down complexity, but I think there's an argument to be made that it was as much about pushing theme.
