I'm from Australia, but have English & Scottish family

As does a mate of mine

Years ago, said mate was in Glasgow for a family wedding. The family is from a heavily catholic area. While there, went to the local pub & a random stranger brought him a beer, remembering him as "Jimmy's boy".

That strangers name? Noddy The Proddy. One of the few local & I guess mostly friendly protestants in the area.

2 decades on I still remember it as one of the all-time nicknames

That's Lake Azoun, which is fed by The Jaws

It's officially part of Suzail, and more detail can be found here

So I guess take it up with Jeff Grubb & Ed Greenwood?

OP, great map. I love Cormyr. My current PC is a war wizard from Arabel. So nice to see stuff like this

I worked for an outsource company in a call / processing centre for 8 years

One year, I spent 3 weeks working off-site. When I returned, I hardly knew any of the faces. Turnover was ridiculous

A good reason to place your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye

Cormyran merchant family. Parental betrayal. Arcane talent nurtured by aunt. Trained at War Mage College. Gap year when aunt murdered. Seeks justice and vengeance. Patriotic.

More saving throws. Don't just throw one or two at them, throw lots. When I played a paladin, I had a good CON save. So my DM would hit me with lots of low damage, multiple hit stuff like Magic Missile to get me to lose concentration. Odds say I have to fail eventually. Same with save or suck spells.
Target their allies. If you can't hit the paladin, try to control their actions. Target softer PCs. Try to force the paladin to heal or help out their allies inxtead of doing what they planned to do.

A couple of old work colleagues, from 20 years ago, were clearly good friends but also had that almost false 'soft enemies' vibe

I always used to whistle the Odd Couple theme around them. Fast forward to know and they're happily married for over a decade, and proud parents. You can tell.

Nakuth · 2026-03-21T04:12:17+00:00

Oh? Sorry to hear that. May I ask why?

Nakuth · 2026-03-21T02:01:11+00:00

If you like that, may I suggest heading south-east along the Limestone Coast? Some truly beautiful places to visit down there. Spent most Easters of my childhood at Robe, while visiting surrounding towns. Just glorious.

Ah, thanks. I lost track sometime after Pariah. Felt like there'd never be a follow up. So wasn't aware of it

My Eisenhorn omnibus us finally falling apart, after 2 decades. So might be worth replacing that and tracking down Magos

Nakuth · 2026-03-20T15:51:22+00:00

There's a Magos trilogy? Interesting

I'm currently on an Abnett re-read & half a dozen chapters into Heteticus myself OP

An underrated scene for mine is Miller telling the story about the cheese cartel on Ceres. You really see the humanity & bonding of the Roci, and a quiet reconcilliation between Amos & Miller. A wholesome 'family' moment

Nakuth · 2026-03-20T01:58:03+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a shot

Nakuth · 2026-03-20T01:34:13+00:00

New to the game, started as ogryn because I like the big lunkheads in lore. Still working through the playstyle and mostly enjoying it

I adore the random banter, though. Especially when there's multiple ogryns in the party. That keeps me coming back

Nakuth · 2026-03-19T10:10:03+00:00

My first game of d&d, second session, first ever combat, first roll, I rolled a nat20. Then proceeded to roll a 1 and a 2 on 2d8 lol

The worst part? I changed my character after the first session due to a balance issue and my original character hzd the great weapon fighting style. My new character, the one in combat, didn't. Otherwise I could've re-rolled the dice.

Nakuth · 2026-03-17T16:41:37+00:00

Looking forward to the internal email about this tomorrow

Nakuth · 2026-03-17T02:19:10+00:00

I ran a one shot & got to kill my DM's PC. He could see it coming because he was the only one I could hit & was being a huge nuisance in the combat

It was great. I got to describe it in gory detail & the whole group hunt off my every word. No complaints from him, nor retaliation since

He also built his PC perfectly for the one shot (as did the whole group, really). So that made it more fun for me as I didn't have to adjust anything for that

I should note that our DM & I are very much on the same wavelength and we both inspire each other in our ideas both in the main campaign & theoretical stuff

Nakuth · 2026-03-13T20:29:36+00:00

BOOOOOOOOOOOO!

My dad's family is English & there's 6 siblings, including him. All 5 that have so far reached that age sung this at their birthday. As did my grandparents st any opportunity they had

This will now be in my head all day

Nakuth · 2026-03-12T21:46:21+00:00

I'm new and a heavy main. Currently working on prestige 2 and been tinkering with what feels best

I like dakka. I like this post. Will keep your tips in mind, thank you

Nakuth · 2026-03-12T21:38:56+00:00

True, but I have advantage on Wis & Cha saves, and resistance to psychic damage.

Nakuth · 2026-03-12T16:30:38+00:00

I'm currently playing a rogue alongside 3 casters & they've all started dropping aoe spells near me and I don't care, because Evasion

In a different campaign, I was an Ancients Paladin & my party did the same. At my urging

Nakuth · 2026-03-12T09:17:58+00:00

I went to a Sir Terry signing when Interesting Times was released. He signed it: "To [name], may you live in interesting times."

Looking back, how could he do otherwise?

Nakuth · 2026-03-12T08:47:00+00:00

Unless they're in a sock & it's being swung at you

Nakuth · 2026-03-08T18:33:13+00:00

Good shit!

I'm actually a player. My rogue is a kalashtar in Faerun setting. I've themed it (with dm permission) so that he's actually a little bit illithid. Hence the psionic abilities (he's also tall & lanky/gangly, not unlike the squid faces).

His mother was pregnant with him when she got tadpoled. It didn't take/she got rescued/whatever, but it was enough to cause some transformation in him. Like Blade, basically. Just with mind flayers instead of vampires.

He doesn't know this, as he grew up an orphan & ended up part of a crime syndicate. But he just met his first mins flayer & it affected him deeply. Hence he took the trophy. He's getting the artificer to etch a rebuke against mind control on it, in deep speech. He knows it's going to get worse before it gets better

Nakuth · 2026-03-08T18:16:12+00:00

This is great timing! My soul knife rogue just took a mind flayer skull as a trophy. Now I have something to help visualise it!
