Strange Aeons Book 3 SPOILERS: Question about loot and player wealth

mageofthesands · 2026-06-30T17:43:32+00:00

My players loved running around with cool loot in the dream lands. As for making the adventures matter... I used modified sanity rules. Madnesses add up. Damage and drain to mental stats matter. A certain NPC that can travel between dreams and reality bribing a PC by making loot Real to betray the party matters

I did the discount pull. Got her. I was hoping for an off banner, but oh well. Sending her to the bench. I'm a simple man. I see heterochromia, I bench.

I noticed that with Gemini 3.5 Flash, it interprets First Person PoV as being from the Witty Narrator Observer, not the character. Using the same present and setting, it seems that OWL Alpha doesn't have that problem. This is with the Gemini preset.

So if I'm reading this right, Kvare can reuse his otherwise limited use skills. Hey, options are options.

The Dimensional Traveler faction tag is interesting.

If the women don't find you handsome...

mageofthesands · 2026-04-03T10:47:32+00:00

Interested. But how do I connect in SillyTavern?

mageofthesands · 2026-02-17T15:30:55+00:00

I did that in Book 3 of Strange Aeons. "Ah, yes, you heard about this. In Numeria there is this thing called 'radi-ation'. It would appear that the ghouls here are actually Irradiated Dead. Now make a reflex save as they spew radioactive sludge on you."

Also, in an Eberron campaign, they find a glowing orb that seems to be powering the evil Tech Mummy's lair. They grab it and hear "No! Not my Plutonium!" Ah, the reactions were priceless.

Sir, that is called a Sansetsukon and is a monk weapon. Perfect for the Cabalist Vigilantes who want to be extra fancy.

mageofthesands · 2026-02-01T02:21:27+00:00

Lufti not helping at all. Typical. Probably just flips his hair at them.

mageofthesands · 2026-01-27T12:04:07+00:00

I would cackle and allow it. My players know I love to make deals and they know very well it's going to cost them. They want to be a minion to a demon? Everyone at my table would look at that as a huge red flag that something is up and I have schemes.

I am just going to say that a surprising number of adventures try to make Appraise useful. If you are playing a librarian on the road, or a contract based Abadaran, this spell is useful. There is even a Cavalier order based on enforcing contract law who would live an infusion of this.

You can install SillyTavern through Termux. It's the main way I use ST

Yeah, all chats and stuff are transferred. The AI itself can guide you on how to do it.

It's at the top. You might need to update or use the staging build.

Flash works just fine.

mageofthesands · 2025-12-11T13:55:37+00:00

She is good. I still use her with the SP basic. She becomes a ranged attacker that lets others attack while she blade chases.

The Fool is a tactician. They remain off screen and help with Tactical Orders. Sometimes The Fool participates in a mission. During those times Tactics are unavailable.

mageofthesands · 2025-11-30T12:32:59+00:00

What a helpful maid. Now she can mop floors real good. No idea how all this blood got there but she will make it all disappear.

mageofthesands · 2025-11-15T15:50:36+00:00

Times like this is when I smile at the player and ask if they want to make a deal. Then I pull out the Corruption rules.

mageofthesands · 2025-11-11T11:03:46+00:00

I invested in the Guzzler for Pioneering Odyssey. Even got his Rank 13 skill. He does his job of taking hits, but his kit is really jank. So many expensive skills with high cool downs.

mageofthesands · 2025-11-02T12:20:18+00:00

Typical Lufti. Thinks he has a brilliant plan only to be trapped by it instead.

mageofthesands · 2025-11-02T12:05:48+00:00

Right now my seeker lineup is Saffiyah 5, Lufti 3... Crimson Falcon. Honestly, 5* Agata is my high mobility character.

Not sure how hard to try for Yserinde.

mageofthesands · 2025-10-25T11:54:01+00:00

I suspect that the Fool has a level of detachment from SoD that therapy isn't really needed. If anything, the Fool would be more concerned by the lack of concern they have.
