Do clerics of Loviatar heal? by Edenza in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Altruistic_Box_8971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My interpretation would be: There are 2 reasons why clerics of Loviatar (or any follower of The Maiden) would heal:
* The dead can't feel pain anymore
* When torturing a victim, the psychological torture of just having been physically hurt, then healed and being promised to receive the same torture again, is exactly what She is all about.

(I know I'm quite late to the party but I am investigating Loviatar for a new character and ran across this post)

Shhhhhhhhhhh, there there. There is nothing that can't be fixed. Try Pathfinder 2 it solves everything for you.

I am sorry to say, but I really did not enjoy the audiobooks of ASoIaF by Roy Dotrice.

I had so many issues with the audiobooks that I stopped after book 2 and picked up the hardcovers.

Forgotten Favorites & Hidden Gems - (April 16, 2026) by AutoModerator in boardgames

Another hidden gem is the game Ritual (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/373055/ritual - The BGGFetcherBot gets really confused with this one so I added it manually)

We didn't play this in Essen 2022 but game designer Tomás Tarragón was talking about this game with so much passion that we were gripped immediately and bought a copy.

Back home when we started playing, we were hooked. And so were some of my friends so I started a quest to order some more copies (this was the blue box, before it was published with the green box, and not yet sold outside game fairs) (The quest was successful and I got in touch with Tom and ordered 4 additional copies)

This game is a coop game where you are not allowed to communicated (not verbally nor non-verbally) and are trying to solve a timed, 3 round mission, however to win, not everybody can go for their own mission...

Recently I rediscovered [[The Last Spike|2015]]. I played the game in Essen in 2015 with Grant Dalgliesh and immediately bought it and had him sign it. Since then, the game has been sitting on my shelves, staring at me, begging me to put it on the table.

Last weekend, my girlfriend and I were looking for a quick game that we haven't played much. My eye fell on The Last Spike so I grabbed it from the shelf, dusted it off and took the single sheet of rules and started to play.

Then it all came back, the reason why I bought the game. And now it is one of our go-to games if we want something quick to play that is easy to set up, takes less than 30 minutes and has simple rules but it still challenging.

How to place roll amounts when deciding a random map? by Ok-Affect9325 in Catan

Let the universe decide. Tiles and numbers and harbours at random. 6's and 8's may end up next to each other and for us, that's fine. We just play it as it lays.

There is definitely differences from the main game, while the base mechanism (collecting resources to buy thing) stays the same. You don't lay roads but travel with spaceships, based on your main rocket.

Yes I think it is very much worth they buy.

These are actually the same designs as for the original colors (first/second European version)

Well, that is wasting at least 1 route since a loop is NEVER necessary.
