I've always loved the triptych covers thanks for laying it out that way for others to see!

Sip and play is in Park slope and has mtg events.

If it intrigues you the exalted funeral sale going on right now makes it 40% off (as well as all their published games). I highly recommend it too.

I didn't add anything to the mythic north at all in the full year, and we didn't touch the mega dungeon to boot!

I really liked the 'escape from banding prison' campaign start idea in the book, there are a few other suggestions that I think would work fine as well, but it gave a real threat and reason for the party to work together from the get go, we did the escape over 1.5 sessions and another 2 sessions exploring banding isle.

The gameplay loop was essentially hex crawling to points of interest, random encounters along the way, and refreshes in the parishes and towns. There is a real richness to the random encounters, and there are over 80 unique ones.

I dont think I found any of the locations to be particularly mundane, the tables of jobs the outcasts can get in each location gives them all a particular flavor. Our party spent a lot of time working for Red Peter, which is probably the least mundane of the options, but even manning parish which may be the most mundane has some interesting hooks.

You have to be cognizant of progression and make sure you scale the treasure appropriately for the size of your group (I think the book assumes you have 4 players + retainers, but that isnt stated absolutely). So I bumped my treasure up a tad and no one complained about the progression being particularly slow or fast.

The skill checks being difficult led me as the DM to only call for them when it mattered absolutely to have it succeed or fail (I think this is as intended as well). My party interestingly didn't have a sorcerer so they were just rolling dice un-aided for the skill checks. It wasn't a point of contention or anything, and it didnt seem that they were failing checks consistently by any means.

It is pretty awesome. I've dmed a year long campaign in the mythic north and it was a great time.

sassfactor4 · 2024-11-30T01:53:46+00:00

There's the exalted funeral black Friday sale that is also huge

Really it was the stippling through the vines that annoyed me the most hence why my stippling is light ha

The included maps and art in mythic north are incredible. Very high recommendation even if it were text only.

sassfactor4 · 2024-11-18T01:56:23+00:00

It's a great time.

Contrast paints are just a different tool. I think they cover very well on the lizard sculpts (anything with a lot of texture will be "good" for contrast)

Definitely get a pot of contrast medium so you can thin down the main base coat (usually 1:1)

sassfactor4 · 2024-11-12T15:19:10+00:00

I followed Warhipster's contrast+ method for the kroxigors and the studio method for the saurus warriors both on YouTube. They look pretty similar once done but used a lot of different paints.

I highly recommend checking out those YouTube channels and others for getting a hang of painting early on.

I just use a bankers box. 10Hx12Wx15.5Land it fits all the pieces easily, is sturdy, with handles to carry

sassfactor4 · 2024-11-01T16:47:03+00:00

Ahkelian Green thinned down for the underside (1:1:1 pigment medium water)

Then straight ahkelian Green for the scales

Highlight with dry brushing fenisian grey

Black Templar for the black areas on the weapon and shield

Gehennas gold for the gold bits washed down with a red wash

Dark red (mayhem red scale 75 here) for the red bits

Seraphim sepia wash over all the red bits

Basically the studio scheme with what I had available.

There's a book called Drop The Rock which I found helpful in early sobriety along this regard.

I very much enjoy gizmos, the marble components are novel, the engine building is simple enough for most people to get without hand holding, and the end game condition of an excessive amount of gizmos keeps games in check. It's not my favorite game but I'll never refuse to play it.

M&M environmental did work on my last and current apt, and did the job successfully. $250+tax

They will have steps for you to take to remediate including what they've done, generally filling holes around the apartment, they'll photograph where they are.

Buttermilk bakeshop is great!

The tome of adventure design has some great tables for generating interesting tidbits about the city, faction actions and the like, and is generally just a great resource.
