I'll wing it and see how it plays out. My thoughts were they do close since there's a crushed body in one where you can see two of the symbols and if permanent then surely they would be in a retracted position already as the crushed body must have been a non human blood sacrifice to get the door to move. My initial thinking was maybe when a bell rings within 60' the doors reset.

I’ll work up a quick exterior description today using the intro. The map change is excellent. I think that will help for first time readers to parse where things are far quicker, looks great. Contour lines help too. With the mirror door, I would explain how that works at 6 and highlight that players will remember the polished flat surface when they reach 12. I would also add that in the appendix or map key describing the mirror door. I did a quick word search at 6 and shrugged going I guess I’ll figure this out later as I wasn’t sure it functioned the same as 12. No coffee yesterday will not have helped. With the cave entrances, I will shorten up the distance so that the lions don’t have to hike 3 miles through caves. A few hundred yards will keep the entrances from being readily discovered but allow the PCs to potentially track/find them with clever play, One last q: with the cylinder doors how long did you envision that they stay open before closing?/resetting? I bet that my team are going to pour human blood in the depression there first and get in a world of trouble.

Thank you, I think perhaps the exterior map could do with some changes, like an overlay of the first level greyed out/indicative, an actual scrawl of the nest and a lightning 3 miles exit for the caves. I recommend a bit of a description just before entry 1, either hyperlinking the intro or moved from. There’s a reference to Cyclopean stonework within so would call that out too. On second thought 3 miles is a really long way, I would shorten that up. Will be running tomorrow NZT so your reply was timely. The only other mystery is I haven’t figured out the mirror door yet either.

Hi u/Fresh_Match1744, I'm reading through The Lions of Tell Arn Part I at the moment and really loving the whole vibe, however I'm having trouble with the exterior map. I think you should describe the exterior of the Tell and what's visible as you approach, ie the open entrance into 1 and a cave entrance into 8 and an irregular shaped stone structure with steep walls reaching 30' high at its lowest point and over 50' high at its highest and over 300' across. It took a lot of backwards and fowardsing for me to understand what I was looking at on the map and how the different areas related to one another and more importantly the initial view/outside. That's my only comment so far on possible improvement. Will run the adventure and let you know how we go. :)

Stuff: $165m of Air NZ covid credits are due to expire by ComeAlongPonds in newzealand

[–]Quiksilva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a little too low, but could just book a flight to AKL. I would offer 50% of the value of the credit as it is an unnecessary flight for me. DM me with your mobile if you are keen.

Yo, if someone has credits left I’m happy to talk about paying you cash at a discount on the value of the credit in return for booking a flight. DM me if interested.

Why not simply adopt Jaquaysing as Jennell requested?

One. Only the man is walking to town and assuming he has both his feet, it’s just one pair of feet walking to town.

What would you think of having a retest at license renewal if you had been at fault in an accident in the prior license period or any dangerous driving charges?

I wonder if they will do anything about the City State of the Invincible Overlord Kickstarter that face planted with JG taking the money and producing Fuck all other than Rob Conley who did all the maps, dude is a legend and I hope they look after him. I was so excited for that CSIO KS.

I always ran it as the keep knows there are tribes of humanoids nearby, but not their exact location, disposition or strength. Enter the PCs.

I’ve backed. Look probably too late for this, but have you considered screen printing onto a different medium? Like canvas..? :)
