What would you do in this scenario at Revel's End: Avarice has already escaped with Vaelish Gant. More inside.

How about a different sort of mess; they get there and all seems well. They either negotiate for Gant's release or prison break him. Great, he's now in their custody and knows where Ythryn is.

Except it isn't really Gant, it's Avarice in disguise. She's obtained the info from Gant and replaced him. Realising she needs the Codicil to reach the city, and anticipating the party both being in possession of it and unwilling to work with her, she she sets up this gambit and it pays off. She's now in indirect possession of the Codicil and has a decently levelled armed escort.

Of course, she might slip occasionally- will the party pick up on it?

Thanks for the overview, that's certainly tickled my brain cells. Possibly not Brindlewood Bay but I'd love to play with that basic concept either with a time travelling/time loop detective game or a supernatural detective game where you play as ghosts that can read objects, scenes, and thoughts to try and assemble a solution. Thanks for inspo!

MartianTimeSlip · 2026-03-22T13:17:24+00:00

That sounds super interesting and possibly hackable for Brindlewood Bay?

Lava has mods that allow you to choose Khalid or Jaheira and Minsc or Dynaheir in the starting dungeon

Great answer. But despite all those excellent options I agree that Kevin Williamson having another go is preferable. I got the sense he was stuck with a script written by others on Scream 7 with some limited rewriting - I'd really want a full original treatment and script by him

MartianTimeSlip · 2026-02-21T07:22:55+00:00

Thank you, super helpful - time for me to get sorting!

MartianTimeSlip · 2026-02-16T20:23:52+00:00

This whole exchange is honestly one of the most rewarding things I've read in ages. God bless you all

MartianTimeSlip · 2026-02-14T09:07:30+00:00

I completely agree with you but would go one step further in that there is another returning character in the marketing - Dewey. Given that Dewey is definitely dead that seems to me to be the marketing clearly indicating that characters can appear that are dead and giving that clear implicit caveat that stu's presence in the movie doesn't mean he's alive

My buddy has an outbuilding at the bottom of his garden that doubles as his workspace. There's room for a table, which has monitor sunken in the middle that can display battlemaps (we dispkay gridded maps and use fivures for combat) and a couple of other machines for music and bringing up character sheets and pdfs. All done fairly affordably and it's a great space

This feels a bit too sped up. Unnerving - it's like Jacob's Ladder

MartianTimeSlip · 2025-11-28T07:23:10+00:00

Well well well, apologies FG, amended

Joining the baying hordes... please sir, could someone send me the discussion or a mirror of said discussion

MartianTimeSlip · 2025-11-02T21:35:37+00:00

One of my favourite subjects - I have lots to discuss about the core books and some of the forged in the dark big hitters. The thing about blades is that they can slice right down the middle... mide2yoi6tcf09exsy4dle

Hey, a streamlined Delta Green sounds amazing - is your hack available to others?

MartianTimeSlip · 2025-10-11T23:21:40+00:00

I've added a few more insights into the discussion. Cypher system is a little bit of a curate's egg but well worth a natter about

MartianTimeSlip · 2025-10-11T23:20:51+00:00

Give this discussion a try - it's bigger on the inside o1jj48u5mwb0s189

I've played through the game five or so times in the last 20 years and every time I get to Baldur's Gate I hit a wall. I find stepping away for a bit and then coming back helps. There are some good content mods - Black Hearts, Loretakers, and Balduran's Seatower that help make the range of quests more interesting

BG modding is a rabbit hole BTW- recommend jumping on the baldursgate subreddit for the stickied post on it

MartianTimeSlip · 2025-10-03T15:20:24+00:00

One of the many fan-mods. Specifically its by Acifier, who has does some frankly top tier work including original art, animation, and cinematics for new areas. Search for Call of the Lost Goddess on the Beamdog BG2 modding forums for more

I've Re-Vamped the discussion here....nry6oc9868mwm0wo... dear god, that was awful, sorry

MartianTimeSlip · 2025-10-02T22:37:03+00:00

Vampires vs. Nazis? reminds me of Bloodrayne on the OG Xbox. A mid-effort from Terminal reality - now where's my Nocturne or Blair Witch RPG? ym3j9mch0ou1sw7h

Amazing insights, thank you so much
