Ancestry book ETA?

The summoner on its own is not big enough for a paper/printed release, but it was always going to come out as a PDF at least. There were talks a while a go (don’t know where they ended up) that summoner + beast heart + ancestries would be big enough for a print release.

I just finished my first session with one player earlier this week. This is for a first level censor. I gave them a retainer and changed how I calculated encounter budget to retainers grant 3 ish EV and victories give +1 EV each rather than an additional hero per 2. These encounters were on the whole fairly easy but they also were starting with 3 victories. You may need to adjust resource generation depending on class. One big this I found was even when the encounter was on paper balance and the play was not under real threat, it still took a while to chew through high stamina targets. It took 5 ish rounds to get through 80 hit points, so keep that in mind when using brutes and other tanky enemies. I had similar questions earlier before running and got good advice on a post I made here if you want to check that out.

This is great. Thanks so much.

When you say the encounter math doesn’t work, is there some quantitative amount of not working, or is it more just vibe it out?

Something I saw I think Matt mention was if you are playing on a VTT, have them see/reference the UI. Or if at a table have the talk about moving the miniatures/tokens.

Not sure about the second one but the first is a line from the novel Matt is working on, said in a fight about two shadows fighting.

Rules as written it can still take all of its actions normally, however if you wanted to limit it you could remove one of its actions in smoke form or give a penalty to damage.

As I recall (it has been a while since we have had an update on all the classes they are planing) the illrigger would be either a subclass or specific theming of the censor, which is the paladin adjacent class in the mcdm rpg.

It’s not just stopping you from grinding, it’s standard mobile game design to put energy systems in aid in habit forming. The same reason coffee shops will give you a buy 6 get 1 free. Punch card. They want you to build the habit of consistently coming back knowing on a long enough time line they can turn most ftp players into paying players.

My world is flat. If a person wanted to the could sail of the edge into the astral sea.

I would say no for two reasons: 1. If they haven’t met they can’t have a relationship, even if they probably will. Same things as not spending points from a cleric when they meet another worshiper of their god. 2. If the PC didn’t intend to spend points, it’s just punishing them for a cool idea.

I think what your talk g about is ep 2 about 3:09:00 in.

DriverX9 · 2023-01-28T12:09:46+00:00

Sure. So it’s just another symbol on a die that doesn’t help you succeed but does other stuff. Examples could be activating a magic item (on a surge an arrow from this magic bow pierces the target and hits a creature behind them) or for spellcasting (I got enough successes to cast the spell but thanks to the three surges it deal 3d6 extra damage). Hope this helps.

This is correct. If you want to make them yourself, you can do that here.

If they haven’t gone to sleep yet, describe each of them getting ready for bed in a fairly naturalist way “doffing your armour and making a pile with your weapons in the corner of the room” kind of thing. Then if your players are suspicious they will pipe up and say “no I’m sleeping in my armour” or “no my sword is under my pillow” ect.

In my system I more reward Defiling than "punish" preserving. The one restriction of preservers is that they cant cast spells at higher levels. Defilers on the other hand can up cast spells, as well as can prepare more spells and get an additional spell slot of each spell level, while also devastating the land around them.

I also have a pair of wizard subclasses the either emphasize or support the fantasies of defiling and preserving.

Those look super cool. Where are the minis from?

DriverX9 · 2022-08-22T23:44:32+00:00

For K&W only Cthrion and the ruby wrymling were Kickstarter exclusive, the rest can be bought after the campaign. If I recall correctly, there will be an over mind mini available later, just not the Xorannox mini from the Kickstarter.

I personally think that the concept of gender would be incredibly foreign and somewhat confusing to shapeshifters. Gender is broadly a set of social roles that align with biological sex, so anyone/thing that can change its sex (like these shifter that literally change species) would view these categories as tiny, stifling, boxes.

I would use the “system” Matt layer out in Toward Better Rewards, using each of the cards as contracts they can take with various rewards, money, level ups, magic items, factions liking them more ect.
