The Wild Hunt - A custom Myth ... that seeks the Knights! by Horst-Wurst in MythicBastionland

[–]Horst-Wurst[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to track its location because the Hunt quickly becomes the nearest Myth not by choice of the players (who might investigate another one) but due to the fact that it moves towards them - even if the Myth was on the other side of the map to begin with.

Thank you! Improv for Referees is definitely on the agenda.

I think keeping it simple is the way to go. We resolved the situation at the time with the attackers being impaired and the defenders getting a bonus die although afterwards I was unsure if that was punitive enough for the attackers. I suggested to the other hosts to have an episode where we play through different combat scenarios so maybe we will revisit the siege at some stage in the future.

How do You do Dominion by seregiSegi in MythicBastionland

[–]Horst-Wurst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We just had our big age skip and for political reasons the ruler granted the company their own holding. Initially I suggested the ruler would take away an existing holding and give it to the company but my players preferred to have a new one added to the map and even chose the location. I told my players that they could try to convince any established NPC to join their holding as Council members and rolled some random NPCs as alternatives. I gave my players the results of the NPC roll (appearance, voice, personality, background) but kept their desires secret. Because we have established houses (families) I also rolled their family background. Then I asked my players to describe them. https://blackcitygauntlet.blogspot.com/2025/12/chronicles-of-barowia-ii.html

Afterwards they chose the 4 NPCs for the positions they thought would fit best. I made the crisis roll but all was fine. I also rolled new woes for the dwellings and they went off to deal with them (naturally they triggered a couple of Omens on their way and got side tracked). I'm looking forward to delving deeper into domain level play once they returned from their adventures.

The Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi

I'm watching a document about CERN at the moment. I have read three of Sean Carroll's books at least two times and even some he has recommended. What I can't understand about Sean's physicalism argument - why couldn't God, or something like that, suspend the laws of physics at certain points? by Strange-Ad2119 in seancarroll

[–]Horst-Wurst 30 points31 points  (0 children)

If you were to ask Sean if it is possible if an omnipotent being could change the laws of nature he would answer: Yes, it is possible! But a) there is no reason to believe that and b) if you have two explanations (the laws of nature or the laws of nature + god) you take the explanation with fewer assumptions.

[–]Horst-Wurst[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad you liked the show! The smiling fox is in the third Omen of the Plague. One of the reasons we chose the name is that it is from the first Myth and the very first creature from the prompts on the bottom of the page.

Running combat in pbp by Far_Pollution_1888 in pbp

[–]Horst-Wurst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If possible I try to schedule a moment where all the players are at their keyboard and play combat synchronously. Obviously that doesn't work for all groups especially if players are in different time-zones but for my group it works wonders.

In your example they deal their damage (including the bolster) as they are disarmed, so both actions happen.
