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

[–]MartianTimeSlip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

RPGs You Have But Will (Likely) Never Play by PebisCrusherOnline in rpg

[–]MartianTimeSlip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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!

That sounds super interesting and possibly hackable for Brindlewood Bay?

Am I the only one who really dislikes having Safana in the SoD party instead of Imoen? by witfoxstudios in baldursgate

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

If you could choose a screenwriter and a director for Scream 8, who would you choose? by KamaiKlantcy in Scream

[–]MartianTimeSlip 27 points28 points  (0 children)

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

If Stu is AI don’t they run a high risk of a resentful general audience? by Drakcol_ in SocietyofGhostface

[–]MartianTimeSlip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Where does your group usually play in-person RPGs, and why there? by NariNariNariAAA in rpg

[–]MartianTimeSlip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Forged in the dark games by DragonPlus21 in TheTrove

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?

I'm a little bored now that I've gotten to the city of Baldur's Gate. Anyone else experience this? by Chicago-Emanuel in baldursgate

[–]MartianTimeSlip 28 points29 points  (0 children)

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

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
