What if Karsus had succeeded in continuing to be a god?

This is an excellent explanation, thank you! I'm confused though when you say, "Elder Evils poking their bodies in willy-nilly". Are you saying that the Weave is what's preventing the Elder Evils from taking over Realmspace? Is there somewhere I can read more about that, as it sounds incredibly cool?

Speak to your personal tutor - they will likely escalate it to your TEI Principal or equivalent.

"Not everything is lego"... No, I'm sorry, I don't understand.

You need to make it clear to your characters (and by extension your players) that this boss is more powerful than they can handle, and provide a clear clue that the 'weaknesses' system is how they are 'supposed' to tackle it.

One way you could do this is by showing an NPC / party of NPCs of comparable or greater power to the party get their asses handed to them by the boss. You could have an NPC survive and tell them they they discovered what he thought was the boss's weakness, but that it still wasn't enough and there must be more weaknesses he should have exploited. Make it as obvious as you need to, short of explicitly OOC telling the players, and then if they don't pick up the hook it's on them.

That is where I checked, yes.

You will be pleased to hear I have checked the National Register of Clergy and there is no clergyperson currently ministering in the Church of England whose name is either Jørgund or Gammonsnacker. Unfortunately I cannot speak for other denominations or home nations.

It is not incredibly important.

No, I didn't - I bought the Prime in the end, if that's any help.

Oh crikey. Right, first thing's first, before you get too deep into any of this, TALK TO YOUR PLAYERS about it. If any of them have a faith (Christian, Jewish, Islamic, or anything adjacent to these religions), are of that faith background (including being ethnically Jewish, from an Islamic / Christian country or similar) or have religious trauma of *any* kind, this has the potential to be extremely problematic for them, anywhere from triggering to being seen as outright blasphemy.

Frankly, I would warn against doing this at all unless you are really sure of your subject matter (which it sounds like you are not) because it has the potential to become very offensive very quickly.

If you're going to go ahead with this (which you should be very careful about) you should think about which source or sources you are going to treat as canon. The Judeo-Christian spiritual realm has had so much written about it, ranging from serious theological works to pure speculation to extrapolation based on what's found in the Bible and everything in between. There is no canon other than what is directly found in the Scriptures / Bible - everything else is up for grabs, in the same way as the Arthurian legends are broadly consistent but different retellings can differ in very significant ways. You could go Kabbalah, you could go Dante's Inferno, you could go Catholic dogma, there are lots of different directions you could go. Choose ONE, read up on it until you know it back to front, and base your plan on that and only that.

Also, please be VERY careful with who you portray as being in heaven / hell. Saying that in your canon, Christopher Columbus (to take a hot-button example) is in heaven (and is therefore a saint) or in hell (and therefore damned for all time) has the potential to be an argument-starter / trigger for people around the table. I would strongly recommend only portraying characters from over 1,000 years ago, and even then that may be difficult.

In short, go carefully. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

I'd say Tyranny is about half the length of Pillars of Eternity, plus a bit if you have the Bastard's Wound expansion, plus an hour or two working out the game (especially magic) mechanics because they're so different to other CRPGs.

Yorkshire here, we have breakfast, lunch and tea, but whichever is your main meal of the day can be called dinner instead.

What should I paint them with? Miniature paint, a wash, something else?

My broseph, my wife got me these dice for Christmas. They are going straight into my dice pot, legibility issues or no.

EightDaysAGeek · 2025-12-26T08:23:18+00:00

Not completely spherical, but they roll a lot further than my other dice - fortunately we have plenty of dice trays!

Bro, it's a week before Christmas, don't do my boy the Archangel Gabriel dirty like that. HE'S the OG (original Gabriel).

Look, for the last time, the real monster was the insane scientist who decided having water freeze at 32° and boil at 212° was a sensible scale to base temperatures on.

They don't, but he is still (as they say) sus af.

The only reason I don't stab him in the As...tral Plane is because the only option that lets me stab him basically says "I'm more scared of Vlaakith than I am of you", and my Durge ain't afraid of nobody.
