Re: Recent Forum downtime
You threw the baby out with the bathwater... You went in to sanitize the house with a flamethrower... You decided the best practice to deal with the infestation in the village is to eliminate all the villages... Don't apologize. Be proud. It is a time for drastic solutions that are proven to work. :...

Re: Happy New Year
Here is a present from me... An image that can be used as an illustration for Sir Armand Ironhand's The Beast of Ehrendton, a tragic saga describing his encounter with the Black Duke. https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m01v5aG5OG1qac76ro1_1280.jpg G.

Re: Fiend's reality wrinkle and 5th edition lair effects
I think there's a reason this was cut from Ebonbane, and I think the reason is that EB is not incorporeal actually and it was an abandoned idea. I don't like the idea of Ebonbane being transcendent, I prefer him trapped, like Enseric in the sword of Neverwinter Nights.

AI generated stories are not bad.
Recently, I got to try API's ChatGPT-4-Turbo. I asked it to make a short fantasy story in 6 parts and then I asked it to expand each of those parts. The story it made was surprisingly good. I have tried it in the past with less successful results, although this time I used a specifically made "...

Re: Origin of Vistani, Ezra, Hala?
The Church of Ezra in your game has a Catholic-like Hierarchy? So, there is one person that has absolute authority over the doctrine, bishops, cardinals etc?
Or do you mean ... something else? If something else, what?
Is there an article in the QtR about the religions in your game?

Re: Origin of Vistani, Ezra, Hala?
Faith gives hope and certainty. A powerful church like the Ezran church changes the facts on the ground. And thus, Faith is sure to take root in such dark places. Especially when you have people, even few people, that can actually do miracles or use magic. I have no issues with established religion...

Re: Origin of Vistani, Ezra, Hala?
Considering how little I know about Wicca and that, at least IMO, Wicca is not a well defined religious movement, I have trouble with the Hala / Wicca thing.
On the other hand, Ezra is dissimilar to Christian church in a great many ways. The Inquisition is not even Ezra's IIRC.

Re: Fiend's reality wrinkle and 5th edition lair effects
If Vecna couldn't break out without absorbing Iuz, I don't see how Gwydeon or Ebonbane could.

That's true with everything though. People are stepping on eggshells.

Re: Origin of Vistani, Ezra, Hala?
So... no, I am very disillusioned. These are not Lone-wolf quality books. TBF the Lone Wolf series is arguably the zenith of gamebooks in terms of quality. I've read/played a LOT of gamebook series, and none were ever as good (though some like Fighting Fantasy came pretty darn close at times, and I...

Re: Fiend's reality wrinkle and 5th edition lair effects
Those are both special cases. Ebonbane was IIRC already in the sword and is not the darklord , nor has a reality wrinkle. I.e. Ebonbane is not a "Fiend" but more like a sentient evil item. Gwydeon... by the current, 5e rules, I would say Gwydeon is not a fiend but an evil arch-fey. Those ...
