The flower Ink took from their Book of Shadows to give Astrid when they were potentially leaving the group... was part of what made Druidcraft appear in the Book of Shadows. ^^;
I was looking at the Forgotten Realms lore and they make the Tabaxi seem from old world South America... which has a kind of X as CH vibe... that's what made me think of it.
But I don't know whether that is really Ink's vibe... they seem a bit more Asiatic inspired, but... <shrugs> I dunno... my brain was thinking about languages recently ^^;
@people-who-have-meta.se-accounts: there's a bug when you click on "Ask Question" for Meta.SE or SO. It prompts you to create an account. The "cancel" button doesn't work. The back button, to work properly, has to be clicked n + 1 times, where n is the number of times you click "cancel". ("Join Community" has functioning "cancel" and back-buttons, and the bug doesn't show up for other communities I checked.) I would post a bug report except I don't want to make a main-meta account...
My April Fool's Day idea was to make a 10x10 Nurikabe with a single "100" piece and explain that it's the hardest Nurikabe i've ever created and that the answers must be extremely long and technical.
but i worry that people might downvote it for being obnoxious :p
Today I logged into the site, and found that i'd gotten a fright. The button was broken, It really was chokin', The account-making wasn't quite right!
In a hurry I fled to report it, But oh! another problem comported, The report was quite scary, It really was very, And the site code is not well supported.
In chat there occurred quite a clatter, Making Mick wonder what was the matter. "They're talking in rhymes, And only limericks! What crimes." Poor 'Borg was left feeling quite tattered.
Gah this enter button vexes me It keeps on sending messages before I'm ready Go die in a hole I never loved you, lol And if you please, will you set me free
"Go die in a hole // I never loved you lol" best poetic lines ever
Alone and unloved, the button sighs; It is so small, and so hard it tries; And when insulted, behind its guise, Outside looks indifferent; but inside, cries.
In the room made for Sciborg's D&D Was a chat about Druidcraft berries Then in came Prince North Spoke of rhymes and henceforth All the messages became very silly
> I curse ye now, dear lovely Mick Ye shall speak in such, as though you're sick You'll sound like a fool Forgive me, I'm cruel, You'll now only speak in limerick
I vaguely knew what they were from the vague information that the rest of the world gets about US culture through TV, movies and "knowing a lot of people on the internet"
Though the details are not really in my floofy brain.
When you have a moment Gray, do you mind sending me the names of some villages/towns/cities in your world? i'm figuring out where potential PF1 character would come from :)
The only thing I was thinking for certain is a coastal village/town, since he gets his love for the sea early and it would be cool if he grew up near the ocean. but that's all i have so far
the dwarves are... well... no one knows where they went.
Viscero was the name of a satellite town off the capital city (which is on a cliff overlooking a huge bay)... Viscero is kind of around the bay taking over a um.. isthmus? is that the word? a peninsula?
They had the knack for making impossible structures and materials and what may as well be devices, although science really is kind of at clockwork level ish.
The other cool city is Rend, which is the city that fills the only real mountain pass in the mountain range that divides the country up diagonally.
I will withhold a description of it if you don't want to have seen it before ;p
It is, however, known that the city is on an impossibly flat kind of chasm as if a chunk of mountain range had been removed... and it is the home of the wonder that is the Dragon of Morvern (the name of the island country)
Anywhom, don't start me on my world or I won't shut up.
:D
curls back up and noms tail to keep from talking about it
Some additions: Oracle is the "chosen by a deity" class with an affliction added. Cavalier is like a battle tactician Magus is a fighting wizard, I guess? Witch is a lot like Warlock but with a different flavour Summoners is like a wizard with a unique "monster pet" that evolves as you level Inquisitor is a kind of law-keeping cleric.
If Johnny and Kith win this combat and take care of the resulting things, there is still one final Big Plot Thing that must be done, which i plan to have unfold over multiple sessions. So we're getting into the final stretch, but not done yet :)
and the Timid Trio must reach Hearth and do Things there as well
I guess the world has 4 major magic types... arcane wizardry which comes from knowing how magic functions and using it according to the laws. being magical inherently and using the force of your will to change things. divine inspiration from a deity or other powerful being... or convincing the inherent magic in the universe to help you. That's pretty much how a wizard views the world of magic anyway.
i just imagine Tifer and Valerio walking along and Tifer is excitedly infodumping about how magic works and a clueless Valerio is just nodding along in bewilderment
@Sid we are just discussing some things about separate characters and the setting for a game that might happen in between to give 'borg a break from GMing
It would be hilarious if Tifer just snuck up and mage handed Valerio's wallet and Valerio was furious and trying to chase them around town to get it back. But then he realizes the thief is a cute small orphan, upon which he immediately forgets being mad and switches to "you are my child now" adoption mode.
"GIVE ME BACK MY WALLET YOU - oh my goodness you are small. oh my goodness"
I would totally be down to take a break from our game after the Boss Fight and the Trio reaching Hearth, to do a Gray PF1 campaign for a bit. Would give me a breather to be honest and it lets Gray have a turn DMing and doing their world :D
Looking for a second "difficult" school for Tifer... is divination even something Tifer would be interested in? They sound a very "let's do stuff now" sort?
(just a slight observation, cause I mentioned it to borg earlier, there will be some "horse-trading" where I need to make adjustments to make stories fit into the world? hopefully this doesn't cause offence, but I am trying to make the world consistent :) )
(eg the whole dwarf thing, but anyway - I am sure it won't impact many things)
of course! I'm trying to keep this general enough so it will fit any world
Tifer had a street buddy who got sick with a curable illness (though not one that you can procure medicine for if you're broke street kids), and nursed them until they died. Thus hang-up about death. After they resolved to not be so helpless and started breaking into the magic-guy's house because they heard you could do things if you knew magic, and stop the bad stuff from happening in the first place.
So... as an additional question... Did you break in on purpose... or did you find a way in accidentally earlier than the sad event and then decided that you wanted to use it later.
Because the city IS on a network of weird tunnels and extra rooms and buildings that are underground and sticking out of the cliff and all over the place... I imagine as an orphan you have some knowledge of some hidden paths to get you safely between places without the authorities knowing?
<nods> So possibly you happen to have found a back way that leads to a library that would probably be reasonably hidden from people the normal way anyway.
Like under someone's place, that you happen to have found a way into through well... not the sewers... the series of weird tunnels and extra streets below the streets.
@thb A classic blunder, like the only slightly less well known Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line. — Federico PoloniMay 14 '18 at 11:57
lol - I have this idea that there was one time early on that Tifer was going to "borrow" the book out of the library, and at the door the book suddenly remarks "You know you should probably leave me in the tower, it's less suspicious".
