The following is speculation on my part, but here goes: I think it's that people are talking a lot about race IRL, making the term more loaded then ever (at least in recent memory). Then there's the whole rabbit hole of "But what even is the concept of race, really?", which I can definitely...

Yeah, a language barrier might be interesting the first, maybe the second time you spring it on your players, but after that it's just annoying that we can't so much as go shopping without Terry. And then after a few levels magic turns the whole language barrier problem into a simple spell slot...

EDIT: <I don't know how to outright delete posts>

I'm inclined to just go with species. Call the dang thing what it is, rather than distorting some other word, which will only serve to confuse people new to the hobby. Humans and Klingons are different species, Humans and Dwarves are different species. Same concept, same term. Yeah, it...

Well, Regkal does say "burial" so maybe they're the underworld deity? If not, depending on how you want to divide things, you can have pantheons that split Death, Psychopomp, and The Dead into separate deities. (I believe the Ancient Greeks did this, with Thanatos, Hermes, and Hades...

Sorry to resurrect an older thread, but how useful is the book to folks who don't plan on using A5E? I'm in a financial position where I have to pick leisure purchases pretty carefully.

Huh. I always figured the fact the Reida had a definitive end date was a function of "This is the best Plane of Time we have access to that isn't swarming with hostiles. It'll have to do." I always had a headcanon that Av was actually specifically chosen for its Reflection aspect. Any...

Man, I know he's a problematic character and all that, but all I can think of is Apu saying "I can't believe you don't shut up!" to Homer. NO! Who will deliver pithy one-liners now!? (Seriously, though, this does make me sad.)

"In our moment of triumph!?" I kinda love how Rumdoom thinks he's found the Gordian Knot solution and winds up actually advancing his foe's cause. Was that only in character or was the player caught off guard by that as well? Are these a reference to something in the campaign I've...

Sorry, put it in spoiler tags for now, but I'll delete it outright if you prefer. :oops: You know, not waiting for answer there. Sorry for being an ass.

(I don't know how to delete a post outright.)

Looking forward to what kind of havoc they've wreaked on the setting. Also sad that this is coming to an end.

Dwarves are a very literal people, aren't they? Wat. has flashbacks to Final Fantasy IV final boss cutscene flashback intensifies Really, this is just sound advice for life in general. Hey, he and Redcloak can be buddies! Eager to learn how this actually played at the table. It's...

While I suppose the answer will be somewhat opaque to me since I don't know the system, I'm curious how this played out. Tabletop RPGs generally aren't set up to handle characters developing powers unexpectedly like this, so it makes me wonder (stand in wonder, even). Did you just drop the...

I wouldn't care how thoroughly my allies briefed me. A bunch of rats impersonating a humanoid by filling up a set of clothes is freaky. Oh, and I'm glad I finally got back to reading this. To answer your question, I'm just enjoying the great yarn you guys are spinning. Also, not sure which to...

I can only imagine. My mind went immediately to the kind of thing one only ever sees advertised late at night or (if they use enough euphemisms) during the middle of the day when they figure most people who'd object are at work or school. I need to reevaluate my media choices, I think.

I love how everyone wrestles with the ethics of the situation Gupta's created except Rumdoom, who's just all "gods make a very satisfying 'thump' when they hit the floor."

I honestly wondered when reading that part just how likely it was that a given player would even think to so much as ask about the missing third option. Glad to see it play out properly. This is not going to be a great moment for Kasvarina's psychological well-being. (Does Dala become Srasama...

Really, if your plot hooks aren't delivered to the tune of Cuban Pete, what are you even doing as a DM?

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply they were the sole founders, but I could've sworn there was something somewhere that suggested some Golden Legionnaires got stuck on this side of the Seal and teamed up with other miscellaneous fiends to start the Demonocracy. But maybe that was just me inferring...
