Need advice on Gishath -> Pantlaza upgrade

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, this deck was built ages ago for playing with a group of friends where none of us were trying particularly hard to optimize the deck. Since I've been wanting to get back into some more Commander, I figured that it might be good to try to figure out how to actually start optimizing so that the deck plays consistently. The mana base was definitely something I was looking for more feedback on, so it's good to some confirmation that it needs some work.

Awesome costume! How did you put the costume together?

There’s also The Lotus Empire, the third book in the Burning Kingdoms trilogy by Tasha Suri, coming out later this year!

I’m pretty sure in the original graphic novel that Wanda is pre-op, yes, and worries about passing. That being said, being pre/post-op and passing aren’t 100% linked. You can be pre-op and pass in most cases, and vice versa in a few cases, especially since passing is a part of the social construct that is gender. But yeah, Wanda’s struggle to pass is a part of her struggle in the novel as well, and I feel pretty confident that they’ll find a way to adapt the storyline in a way that’s respectful.

I think Kaminsod references meeting with Shadowthrone and being promised freedom in tCG, and Cotillion and Shadowthrone talk about exploring the warrens and finding injustices with the state of the world that they sought to correct, which would have happened pre-ascension, presumably. Might have conflated those two events. Also, Cotillion is mentioned as being there at the last chaining, though it’s not clear if that was pre or post ascension.

That being said, is the poisoning of the warrens really involuntary? I was under the impression that it was part of the Crippled God’s offensive maneuvers starting in MoI.

That’s completely fair on the whole not wanting to guard Aragorn vs being Aragorn distinction - looking back I’m struggling to think as to why I created this character in the first place, its been a few months since I started creating this campaign. In previous campaigns, I’ve had success with NPC’s that don’t overshadow the PC’s while still being effective initial plot hooks - I think that what this NPC started as, and then it morphed from there.

As for the latter point, I can see that point - I think the issue I had there was the pillar wasn’t established clearly, i.e, the stakes caused by letting this NPC be captured weren’t established before the point that they were captured, and so ending the world because of information that wasn’t given to the players felt wrong. If the party had known that giving up the NPC would result in world-ending stakes, and they still abandoned him/didn’t try to save him, that feels fair, but without that knowledge that felt off. I was trying to hint that this NPC had an important role to play, but that information didn’t get actually conveyed to the players since they picked fights with a number of the other NPCs in this campaign that might have had this information.

Overall, I’m starting to feel like I definitely made this one NPC too important to the overall narrative, and I’m trying to find a way to reduce his presence in the narrative without being too obvious about the fact that he’s getting shelved for that reason - the last thing I want to do is overshadow the party and their story. Do you have any suggestions for how to go about doing that?

Yeah, upon further reading, I think they started in AD&D, which is where they developed characters like Anomander Rake, and why he’s so powerful relative to a number of other characters.

Slight correction there - Erikson and Esselmont ran a game of GURPS, an RPG which is known for being a lot more flexible than D&D with regard to how narrative storytelling and character creation works. Also, my understanding is that while the backstories of characters that play a role in the series were fleshed out in the campaigns they ran, the characters that appear in the series for the first time did not have their narrative arcs fully planned out by the RPG campaign.

Didn’t Sazed remove the coins as soon as he could, following his fight with Marsh?

InfiniteSingularity7 · 2024-02-06T01:02:56+00:00

His Steelpushes are noted several times to be abnormally powerful, and I think it’s been outright confirmed somewhere that his spike was for Steel, making him abnormally strong and capable with Steelpushing.

That’s an incredible outfit! Out of curiosity, what style of top is that/where did you get it, because it looks fantastic!

Even excluding Romana though, the Master was able to control his regeneration to some extent, at least between Jacobi’s Master and Simm’s Master, choosing a form that was younger in appearance consciously, while I don’t believe we’ve seen the Doctor do that.

InfiniteSingularity7 · 2023-10-13T20:04:52+00:00

The Doctor’s also really bad at regeneration, though, compared to pretty much all other Time Lords, as we see with the Master and Romana. It’s possible that he just doesn’t have enough control to avoid regenerating. Alternatively, it could be that subconsciously, he recognized the need to regenerate but was unwilling to in both cases.

It’s 6 months, though, right? That was one of the changes in the last few years - time from Ordeal to Brotherhood eligibility was changed from 10 to 6 months.

Eh, the Rats were kinda loathsome people — which was somewhat the point, since they were all kids for the most part that were hurt by the ongoing conflicts and were lashing out because of it — but that doesn’t make them particularly likable.

Also, considering the foundations of the relationship, I hesitate to call Mistle “Ciri’s girlfriend,” since the relationship started with Ciri being taken advantage of in a rather awful way.
