Re: HELP NEEDED: Crossover Event with Die by the Dice Podcas

Just confirmed with the DM of the other setting: Revain (I've been misspelling his name) is a transhumanist, but he was actually seeking a more mystical apotheosis; he saw technology as too limiting. And yes, he's deeply racist against androids. So he's going to be techno-omniscient, but dependent u...

Re: HELP NEEDED: Crossover Event with Die by the Dice Podcas

Alright, I ran the poll on Twitter, first place went to the name of the domain, the second to the name of the station. Congrats on second place, Dust Bunny! I wanted to give them as much to work with as possible, and I couldn't put off the spell any more, so here's what they got: Dalen Reven is in t...

Re: HELP NEEDED: Crossover Event with Die by the Dice Podcas

Alright, I added Carogalta to the previous three, and submitted it to Twitter to vote . Go vote for your favorite! And now, we need more details of the domain, and a curse. I decided it was a space station because that was slightly less ridiculous than a planetoid. I'm leaning toward the idea that t...

Re: HELP NEEDED: Crossover Event with Die by the Dice Podcas

So far, people on Twitter have suggested Xrenfarha, Averous, Qu'vatlh and..."Garth Marenghi's Darkplace ™" Considering the villain's name is a homophone for "raven," I wonder if we could incorporate it in some way that didn't go too far over the top in similarity to "Ravenlo...

Re: HELP NEEDED: Crossover Event with Die by the Dice Podcas

Trying to find the angle (apologies if I am unclear) - what is the terrorists primary motivation? - "Humans first? Death to 'non humans' (aka robots are not human, hence other races are just defective bio-robots to be destroyed), "Follow the divine being 'X', the purest form of human"...

Re: Plot Assistance Needed: Memento Mori of Maykle

I'm moving forward with this plot about the Wonderworkers, but I'm concerned about the mechanics. The flavor text for clergy of Ezra says they ought to be able to guide a group like this, but the PF mechanics don't quite support this. The Anchorite prestige class doesn't have an ability like this li...

Re: HELP NEEDED: Crossover Event with Die by the Dice Podcas

With naming the domain you could give yourself a little time to breathe as the new Darklord could be "settling in" and thus the 'official' name and what ordinary denizens call it could be very different. The catch is though the true name of a domain sets its tone. Yeah, it's the true name...

Re: HELP NEEDED: Crossover Event with Die by the Dice Podcas

As part of this event, we're going after the terrorist Dalen Reven from the Azlanti Star Empire of Starfinder. He's a newly minted darklord, but we need a name for his dread domain. And he needs a curse. And powers and goons and stuff. But naming the domain is pretty urgent, because an ally of the p...

Re: Chocolate golems in ravenloft?

Strangely, yes.

I made the mistake of introducing the Vistani House of Mists attraction as allowing you to name any creature you want to fight.

One PC stepped up and asked to fight chocolate lawn gnomes. He was hoping to play Godzilla and blow off a little steam.

Re: railroad into the mists

My article on the subject covers a number of options. I've used the World Serpent Inn, the cursed Van Richten's Guide, pulled in with the new DL, stable portals, and more. One option that I've used that was never mentioned in that article: I claimed that leading up to the Grand Conjunction, the (NP...

Re: Reverse Powers Check?

I've been trying follow this and I've gotten lost in some places. First, the thread title. Is this actually about reversing an already established Powers Check? I didn't think the rules allowed that but that may be just me. This is not about redemption from a Powers Check, but as others have pointe...

Re: The Stigma and Secrets of Hallowed Witches

On the other hand, maybe they call what they do "witchcraft," but they just understand that Hala has "hallowed" their craft. Yeah, I'm thinking they are Chosen individually, predetermined to power, rather than for salvation. Being a descendant of the original 13 predestines you ...

Re: Getting players to travel through the domains

Since things have gone in that direction, here's another relevant article of mine to consider.

I'm hoping to get the LE variation of the Soldiers of Truth to play a role IMC soon.

The Crimes of L'Ordures and Veille Nuit

Gaz2 says there's been violent offshoots of L'Ordures, but gives them no name. IMC the largest such branch is called Veille Nuit, and it's led by Athené from the Midnight Market. They haven't been around long, and have only really begun to differentiate themselves. But how? What crimes would L'Ordur...
