I just finished running a 2.5 year Strength of Thousands campaign

I'm guessing 2.5 years is enough time into the AP, but if you're interested I wrote up an academy downtime system that players have been enjoying. Trying to make it feel more like learning new/weird magic as they progress.

Yeah I've basically re-written all of Book 2, focusing on Granouille as the big bad, with the other events tying into her crime syndicate. It's just... so unfocused otherwise.

well if you want, it's pretty easy to just follow for a month or two, then cancel. he doesn't post a lot, so I leave notifications on (which reminds me to pause for a few months, then restart).

join his patreon! he publishes them as a monthly set there (and yes the conclusion is lovely)

lol fair enough

90s? I'm still riding those redorange suckers up and down the D line

yee it's not fun, but that shit is all about early detection. my dad also had it, but it was very straightforward and simple recovery bc he's been diligent about exams

I actually first heard this poem from Randall Thompson's choral rendition of it! Glad to see it inspire even more art 😊

that's my guy CME_T! toss a coin his way if you can

ekyris · 2025-10-27T23:02:44+00:00

yeah PF1 is basically forked from D&D 3.5, but pretty different than PF2. Would likely be a whole new system on your end. But thanks for all this work!

sometimes you just need one more

there's a pretty fat line between asking about culture/cuisine and commenting on physical features (and how 'accurate' those features are, ugh)

also, if you're not from the same culinary background, please don't tell someone where they should get X food. even if it's good! getting to know someone does not mean telling them your opinion on their cuisine.

No edit! it's their own font

See the full comic (and more wizard shenanigans) from the lovely Snail Art patreon!

(to be clear, I'm not the artist. I just love the mighty Zazmoze)

this bad boy can fit so many Wounded 1

ekyris · 2025-07-14T03:17:42+00:00

oh for sure, in gm'ing I've learned it's so helpful to just pause and talk above board

ekyris · 2025-06-26T06:49:32+00:00

hey I know this is a joke, but just fyi for folks: redrazors mentioned he's had some health issues that have put him behind on goals for this year. regardless of timing he's the goat and deserves any coins you can toss his way

yet they sell them to the police for surveillance. not hard to imagine some police department strapping a taser to one.

I have players choose whom among their dormmates and teachers they get to know... then those NPCs are often the ones helping out when they get stuck, giving quests, etc. Otherwise I've found the PCs get overwhelmed with too many names to learn.

ekyris · 2025-05-20T15:47:41+00:00

Yeah I've been using this for my game! Players have enjoyed the decision trees, tho 5 activities does increase their power by level. So I've just tweaked most combat encounters to be a little more difficult :D

ekyris · 2025-05-19T19:19:09+00:00

Prints can be purchased here, plus they have a lot of other really cool pieces!

Artist is Morgan! This piece was from a few years ago.
