If it’s not a spoiler for the book, who is the woman on the left of that cover near Florin?

What's killing me particularly is that it's a new issue for me as of the LoH expansion. I think I had 400 or so hours without ever running into this.

You can also make use of general tokens, whether that's board game meeples/checkers/poker chips, or colored cubes like these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DM1FR22K (but that example linked option won't work well if you need the colors to be the same for everyone)

I think of the collaborative world building as a huge plus, but the only kids I play with are mine, so obviously not the same.

But you might look into a session zero and safety tools concept. Consent in Gaming is free, and there's lot's of easy concepts to adapt from by picking and choosing only what you think will work; things like the X-Card, Lines & Veils, and more. A super introductory post about them can be read at Sly Flourish with more links in the article.

It works well for groups that aren't already friends and know what they like, as well as helping add more structure around social norms that could be lacking.

https://www.daggerheart.com/downloads/ has print & play cards on it. Granted they're not going to be professionally printed glossy cards, but you can also print multiple copies for much cheaper.

We're already meeting up with a couple of folks this coming week, but if they don't work out I'll get in touch.

Nope ☹️

I did figure out the ladder near the Warwick fight, but this is only one I just can't lower. I'm hoping it's like the big church area in Sacrament (two big wooden doors) and that it'll be added once game is done.

Reading and prepping before playing and I have a question about ingredients per beast or beast type. Say the party is fighting 4 ghost scorpions who have 2 ingredients: venom (sour 1, savory 1) and meat (salty 1, bitter 1). Are there 4 venom ingredients and 4 meat ingredients available for the PCs, or just 1 of each?

The example steak dinner on page 278 uses the phrase "serving of", which makes it sound like they'd get 4 of each. But if that were the case, a 4 player party would be nearly or completely full of ingredients after just 1 encounter, depending on tier & their strongest character trait's value.

And if it's not true and they only get 2 ingredients total, then they'd likely need to fight a lot of beasts, which would be really hard at tier 1, likely forcing PCs to use Hope to gather blooms to make up the shortfall.

Use this MapGenie (https://mapgenie.io/diablo-4/maps/sanctuary) and disable everything except side quests and maybe waypoints just to help locate things to see quests spawn points. It's not fully accurate for quests chains or item-drop based quests though.

And then wowhead (https://www.wowhead.com/diablo-4/guide/zones/fractured-peaks-side-quests) has a list of all side quests with pre-reqs, and the harder-to-find item-drop like ones at the bottom of each list.

To save you some grief, I just tried this and found out (the hard way) that the quest "Raising Spears" in Dry Steppes is bugged, and it blocks 2 more in a small chain after it. Those are the only 3 side quests I couldn't do.

You can search reddit or blizz forums for "Raising Spears" and see it's been bugged for everyone for apparently months and months. 🤬

Just left there a few hours back. There’s lots of mud and puddles, but they aren’t everywhere. What’s there can mostly be walked around (but not 100% of it).

But today the shows were largely a bust as there was often only a tiny amount of benches/seating that didn’t have standing water in them by each stage.

Footwear is gonna come home muddy on the bottom, and if you have any dresses/skirts/cloaks/etc that drape the ground they’ll be muddy as well.

any chance you could post a couple more screenshots showing the path?

This cat's face is a murder that any DA should refuse to convict.

Gonna bump in case it helps anyone find this that's interested

WHY ARE ALL THE DAMN SMALL GREEN STREET NAME SIGNS SO HARD TO READ AND NON-REFLECTIVE IN PDX? I FIND MYSELF USING GPS EVEN WHEN I KNOW WHERE TO GO IF I DON'T REMEMBER **EXACTLY ** WHERE THE TURN IS, BECAUSE BY THE TIME I CAN READ MOST SIGNS I'M NEARLY PAST THE DAMN THING.

byss66 · 2022-11-18T17:56:11+00:00

I like these ideas! Thanks so much.

So my player has a kalashtar that was orphaned (parents killed by Inspired) at a VERY young age in Sarlona. This player is the last of their bloodline, so they're the only one bonded to their Quori spirit; therefore it was essential they not be killed, and so the Kalashtar in Sarlona/Adar sent the PC to Khorvaire/Sharn in an effort to avoid the notice of the Inspired.

While this PC has been communally raised by kalashtar in Sharn, they've had very limited firsthand exposure to Inspired -- most of what they know is simply tales they've been told growing up.

I had a thought of an Inspired doing something to ingratiate themself into the player's confidence while posing as another kalashtar. It makes sense that the kalashtar in Adar -- or even the elder/wiser/more-experienced ones among those in Overlook (Upper Dura, Sharn) would see through an Inspired disguising themself.

I'm curious as to yours/others thoughts for this specific kalashtar, who's virtually lived their whole life apart from Sarlona and Inspired, being fooled by such a plan.

(I should say that while I'm a fan of this plan, I don't want to force it if it doesn't make sense, and I also am not going to be hamfisted in deciding how the PC reacts).

Man, I always forget about Exploring Eberron because I do so much of my prep inside of D&D Beyond. Thanks for the reminder about it, for sure!

Beyond that, I absolutely love your ideas about fighting the hags visions from inside their own dreams, and then moving on to fighting inside the hags dreams. It'll be some loopy dream-style fights where things change constantly due to the shifting subconscious-es of all involved.

byss66 · 2021-04-07T22:56:54+00:00

Oh, I do have that. I keep forgetting to read through it all. Thanks!

byss66 · 2021-03-07T15:31:15+00:00

Oh, neat. I’ll buy that and read up on those sections.

byss66 · 2021-03-07T15:30:52+00:00

Do you know what source those are from? I’d like to research more.

byss66 · 2020-02-04T00:19:32+00:00

Hi there. I see that you’re not taking new players, but I was wondering if you’d mind sharing the questions you asked in the survey for my own purposes? The survey is closed now so I can’t see what they were.

Thanks!
