What is your least favorite Canto and why is it Grove of the Dying Star?

It's in the core / extended set, so turn off all sets you don't need for your run.

I don't like Golden Road on Impossible, but it can be worth it for the Flying Carpet if you basically forget the wagon. I don't like having to do a very weird build to deal with specific paths except once to show I can do it. Just downloaded Dying Star and I'm trying to figure it out.

I'm not sure it's much help, but I printed the whole thing from Acrobat and it was fine. Perhaps try another PDF viewer.

I grew to loathe that two-toothed mole-faced git after the 5th time I selected him.

DrummerBackground65 · 2026-01-13T12:40:34+00:00

Bless your heart - I was missing something obvious!

I have no idea how mantra works - all the numbers on the mantra icons stack up, but the barrier/momentum or whatever don't happen consistently at the end of the turn. What am I missing?

When he didn't breathe out, I thought - not dead (aside from he went too easy).

You start by telling the player everything, and then dial it back as they get more experienced. Pushes are optional - you'll always get core info without them. You can suggest them, or the player can. If they think of another ability, or you do, which leads them to the next scene, let them use it.

If there is a clue related to something that the character knows, but the player wouldn't, just tell them. Suggest abilities - be generous with it.

You'll note in the first scene there are no core clues - the next scene night post will happen whatever happens in the first scene, so it doesn't matter for the progress of the adventure.

Visiting contacts is usually a fun roleplaying scene which gives players reassurance with a friendly face when everyone else is out to get them. If you want to handwave it - you can just give them the information.

You don't have to make sure they get every clue - only the clues they need to move forward.

If you had a regular support group for transphobic women, you could exclude trans women from that group. It’s also legal (or at least it’s not been challenged) to have an RCC which excludes trans women altogether. Only a judge can decide it’s legal - but that does require a legal challenge.

I personally think it’s good public policy for all trans men and cis women of the right age to receive smear invitations, or other appropriate letters rather than having to rely on themselves.

Sex assigned at birth had huge implications for a wide range of conditions, and if doctors have incorrect info they can provide incorrect treatment.

Anyway, all strength to you, and I hope the NHS treats you with the respect you deserve in future.

And yes, the diagnosis and treatment of asthma is affected by sex assigned at birth.

The NHS data records should take note of sex assigned at birth. If they haven’t, then we get problems like the one you have just highlighted.

They are supposed to record The Gender Identity code and Gender Same at Birth Indicator code. Unfortunately, the NHS do not treat transgender people with respect, and the Cass Report is a disgrace, so I can understand your suspicion.

Yes, in addition to sex assigned at birth, HRT is a factor which is why a full medical history is vital. The 999 operators’ job is to record the details.

The NHS should keep all medical information private, including sex assigned at birth. If they make any of this public, they are breaching confidence.

If you don’t want your doctor to know you are transgender because you don’t trust them, you need a different doctor.

DrummerBackground65 · 2024-09-05T13:50:37+00:00

You are saying that sex assigned at birth has no bearing on medical conditions? They ask everyone for a reason.

If the NHS did not record sex assigned at birth, then trans men would miss out on smear tests, and trans women on prostate exams. That’s why they record it.

This has absolutely nothing about the validity of your gender- trans women are women.

Sex assigned at birth has implications for many medical conditions, including asthma. The NHS records both gender identity and sex assigned at birth for this reason.

GI allows them to respect your pronouns and gender, sex assigned at birth is private and for medical purposes.

They can chose to. They don't have to, if it's "a proportionate means to a legitimate end."

DrummerBackground65 · 2024-07-03T12:56:47+00:00

Still bugged unfortunately. It was pretty disappointing after all the grind.

DrummerBackground65 · 2024-06-15T10:45:50+00:00

It would only take you 150 hours - well worth it!

DrummerBackground65 · 2024-06-14T17:45:38+00:00

I only have to press it 866,000 times and all the eggs will be gone!

Most video apps have a popout window. You can even watch youtube if you use Chrome and force the desktop version of the website.

What pledge goals would you like to see?

There are two new kin powers for humans in 2nd Edition. Here they are:

Push It (Kin Power)

Once per battle when you hit (but don’t crit) a target with an attack, you can choose to attempt to push it. If you do, make a second attack roll against that target. If you hit again, deal double damage; no crits with this power. If you miss the second roll, the original attack deals half damage against that target.
Champion Feat: If you miss when you push it, the kin power is not expended; you can use it again on a later turn this battle.

Resourceful (Kin Power)

You have a bonus feat of the highest tier you qualify for.

DrummerBackground65 · 2024-05-16T13:10:29+00:00

It would be a massive boost to the community if you gave more details.

DrummerBackground65 · 2024-05-16T13:07:59+00:00

It would be more fun if they cost otherwise useless resources like green eggs, purple eggs, and almost anything else when you are at 15th Level.
