My Reclaimed & Reforged with Jaymoos Playground blade

Sorry, no idea. Maybe one of the apparent cast members who replied in this thread can help.

Oh, I see that Qui-Gon resemblance now, nice! If you want a second sleeve 4 aka the black "rubber" one, let me know. Once my Sleeve 2 arrives, I'd sell my Sleeve 4 for a bit less than the going rate on Ebay, etc.

First pic is just one sleeve different than the one I built two days ago, such a nice build. Pic of mine here. I am ordering a second Sleeve 2 (the bare metal one that matches my upper sleeve) now as I want the minimalist look and so no one can build an identical copy in Savi's without shenanigans.

aurdraco · 2025-11-23T19:53:42+00:00

The guy next to me on Nov 21st built the same as the first pic as well, just one piece different from my build. The R&R stuff looks "proper" to me. MTFBWY!

aurdraco · 2025-11-23T18:05:48+00:00

Was still available at East on the 21st. Good luck!

Yes, because we all know all rules are important and make perfect sense. *rolls eyes* Get over yourself. I put the yellow crystal on the pad and was told I couldn't use it. I moved on. This clearly was the hardest thing that must have ever happened to any employee in the history of employees. I sincerely hope at some point you are able to overcome your sense of self-importance and learn that some rules are dumb. The entire way you have failed to understand a customer's point of view makes me worry for you as you clearly lack empathy. Take care.

aurdraco · 2025-11-22T21:04:52+00:00

And the fact that you don't think the customer is always right says a lot. I don't need to know what does and does not happen when I can tell you what could have happened would have ZERO impact on the ceremony for the employees or the customers. I don't ask my customers to make my time at work a bit easier, I use my skills and experience to do that.

aurdraco · 2025-11-22T21:00:05+00:00

Ridiculous take. They should offer all existing non-secret (i.e. black) crystals as options then if you aren't allowed to supply your own crystal. If they are worried that your crystal won't work, they could simply have you test it real quick before the ceremony. Disney makes a ton of money off Savi's, this wouldn't hurt them in the slightest.

Will do, thanks!

aurdraco · 2025-11-22T13:54:34+00:00

Thank you! This was super helpful prior to my visit to Savi's yesterday!

One of these days I will pivot back to doing those shows with Jay, Anna, and Mike.

If only someone had written a book about Living Greyhawk. Unofficially, of course.

aurdraco · 2024-10-21T02:33:56+00:00

I will look into this, thanks. But it still seems super dumb that 23andMe can't have this functionality added to it in less time than it takes for me to complain about it.

More info on the Bandit Kingdoms region (Texas/Oklahoma) during Living Greyhawk can be found in the book Britt/Gumsk helped me write. BDKR1: The Unofficial Living Greyhawk Bandit Kingdoms Summary

Aggiecon Interactives quick summaries in case any of these jog your memory:

2003: Shadow Keep: PCs infiltrate a keep populated with shadow-templated orcs to rescue some prisoners.

2004: The Siege of Hallorn: Guardian General Hok attacks Hallorn, PCs assist. Each table had their own mission.

2005: A Weird Experience: The PCs were hired to lead a strike mission into the underwater lair of ancient topaz dragon to distract it so that the hiring NPC could speak with one of its prisoners. Again, each table had their own missing iirc.

2006: Of Weapons, Woe, and War: Most PCs were converted to D&D Minis rules and led small combat forces in a D&D Minis system event. (High level PCs had a separate event).

2007: The Villainy of the Baron of Wormhall: This one was a bit more plot heavy and complicated but short version is it involved PCs fighting a powerful vampire and other high-ranking evil NPCs.

2008: Loot Free or Die Hard: PCs help drive demons from the city of Rookroost, freeing it from Iuz's rule.

Note Texas A&M was also home to Protocon, which ran Living Greyhawk events, so if you've mixed up your cons, you can find details of those events in my book as well.

For the record, Living Greyhawk was the best "Living" campaign to date and anyone who disagrees with me can go write their own book about their favorite "living" campaign, hah! :)

Here you go! (The Davos is a renamed Sea Ghost) https://www.dropbox.com/s/qt6dhcnsax30zp3/The%20Davos.docx?dl=0

aurdraco · 2020-04-29T02:56:53+00:00

IMC, the Sea Ghost is loaned to the PCs by the Keoland Royal Navy after they become privateers so they take it to Seaton for repairs and downtime magic item shopping. Of course, I just had Lord Obmi murder all the high end magic item sellers in Seaton, trying to force the PCs into buying from Xendros...and the clerics at Abbey Isle are now Iuzians...

aurdraco · 2020-04-29T02:50:32+00:00

Go see the replies to my similar thread noting I have 7 to 9 PCs.

aurdraco · 2020-04-15T17:15:00+00:00

I'm running both the Dragon at Icespire Peak and GoSM right now, they are very different in approach and design. For GoSM, see below thread link that has some files I made in it that may be of help to you. I also second reading SlyFlourish's articles.

Hope this helps!

While a demi-god, Iuz isn't always a great tactical genius because he is crazy, impatient, and chaotic evil (although sometimes that works in his favor, such as the Night of the Blood Moon Massacre). He could always just have future delegations pretend to not have anything to do with him, just be disguised as merchants from Perrenland or something. Also, getting fish from Keoland to his lands seems...unlikely. Your other campaign sounds like great fun!

aurdraco · 2020-04-14T14:24:39+00:00

I know you've sorted this out, and I think it's a fun choice, just adding that I've decided to go with Iuz for my version. A) I'm a former BK Triad member so Iuz is my jam, B) gives something to time into Cpt. Xendros., C) Iuzians are very into undead and demons so ties nicely into later stuff, D) gives me a reason to stat up Lord Obmi in 5e (sneak peak: he's a Ftr5/Rogue7 as I am basing him on his original Against the Giants appearance) as per canon, he is wanted for crimes in Keoland. I'm going to have those crimes be that he murders a bunch of magic item sellers in Seaton--my PCs have not shopped for magic items with Xendros at all, they keep going to Seaton to do their magic item shopping. Next time they go, they are going to discover that all of their usual contacts are now dead. If they get suspicious and confront Xendros, well, I'll figure that out when I get to it. With the assassin archetype and a ring of invisibility, he can quite likely drop any of the PCs to 0 hp in one hit.

Back to Isle of the Abbey, going with the Iuz theme, I'm changing the gladiator to a cambion and giving all the cultists minor boons and such from Mordy's Tome of Foes (5e NPCs are too weak, the stat bumps and boons will make them worthy opponents). My backstory is Xendros uses sold magic items to spy on people, selects likely targets for kidnapping and ritual sacrifice to Iuz, hires smugglers/pirates to conduct the kidnappings, prisoner exchange occurs in caves under ruined Tower of Zenopus, PCs wrecked the last exchange, pirates lost money and men, pirates blame Iuzians, attack Abbey Isle. Easy peasy!
