Re: Mistspace - Pondering a Spelljammer crossover
There's also a canon example of a (mostly) Hotel California sphere in Spelljammer, since the Astromundi Cluster can only be departed by living ships. If a DM were so inclined, "Ravenspace" could appear to be a similar sphere with some mysterious requirement for departure that nobody's able to ...

Re: Mistspace - Pondering a Spelljammer crossover
The whole thing with connectivity is a key part of Spelljammer. You could do a "Mistspace" that does not have it, but you would essentially be creating an isolated system.
I think that this is one of the fundamental tensions that would need to be addressed in any coordinated crossover: Just as ...

Re: Reporting Spam
This is not urgent (as you have your memberlist and member profiles locked down to non-logged in users) but you have 22 pages of zero post members on your forums, some of whom seem to be profile spammers (who have put URLs in the "website" field of their profiles).

Re: Reaching out to The Piazza for aid?
Years ago, that forum dealt with bot flood problems like with that (well before the flood of AI generated accounts and easier techniques though). To my awareness, there hasn't been anything massive since (besides outside bot attacks trying to scrape the forums). Would it be worth reaching out to ...

We are not lazy, but busy :)
That is why I have only a link to Qtr32 :wifred:

Well how about I edit the link (in my place) to your QtR 32 is out! announcement thread (which I presume will turn back into a regular thread with the same URL later)?

Re: Mistspace - Pondering a Spelljammer crossover
For the Darklord, I'd suggest that you check the lore/story of the original four Phantasy Star games for inspiration. I think the idea of a darklord that is basically a (imprisoned) star/sun or black hole may solve the issues of having a typical humanoid darklord who could just escape with a ...

Re: Mistspace - Pondering a Spelljammer crossover
To be clear, I was not advocating for stealing Andru directly. He's needed on the Rock of Bral! I was pondering whether Spelljammer canon features some historical rival (named or otherwise) who might have gone even further than Andru in their bid for power and thus been claimed by the Mists.
I ...

Re: Mistspace - Pondering a Spelljammer crossover
The Spelljammer can THEORETICALLY pierce the mists. It would be an amazing twist if the Fool was literally a Darklord. Making him a Van Reisse like figure is always a cool interpretation.
The Spelljammer could probably escape, if it wanted to. That is why I suggested a Smalljammer sacrificing ...

Re: Mistspace - Pondering a Spelljammer crossover
I do like the idea of a Dread Spelljammer being the prison-lair of the "main" darklord of Mistspace. The trick might be finding a way to distinguish them sufficiently from Pieter/Pietra van Reise. I've never read "The Legend of the Spelljammer" to know whether there are any good hooks to twist ...

Re: Mistspace - Pondering a Spelljammer crossover
After reading this, my first thought is to make the Darklord someone who already has a history of unwarranted overkill, a history of being trapped in a limited area, and a history of trying to break the rules only to fail. The Darklord of Mistspace should be The Fool, trapped on a Dread Spelljammer ...

Re: Mistspace - Pondering a Spelljammer crossover
So, I will admit part of this is because of an ambitious crossover I want to do with The Piazza/Wildspace Magazine Team in the future. Big Mac, the lead editor, certainly seemed interested. But, I've had an idea of merging the logic of Spelljammer and Ravenloft through a unique cluster that evoked ...

Do you have a "doorway page" for Quoth the Raven #32?
Hi,
I've got someone talking about Quoth the Raven #32 in another place, but the link is a deeplink to the PDF.
I looked to see if you had a "doorway page" for the issue, so I could maybe get you a link (in the place I moderate) that might get some folks to sign up here, but I can't seem to find ...
