(To keep the story rolling after the cancelled event, we'll be posting these once a month in the intervening months.) An icefront has covered Arwyn Siti, and is marching across the continent. A state of emergency has been declared among the entirety of the Imperium as the Presidium, Caligo...

Updates! The January Broken Shards game has been rescheduled for September 25-27, 2020!

Can you use Adept or Spellsword Skills while Silenced? Specifically: Enhanced Strike, Combined Strike, United Blow, etc. Silence says that the target "cannot talk, activate magical items, or cast any spell." However, all of the Adept/Spellsword Skills use the text "expend a spell" rather than...

A question came up at our last game: Can you Intercept a Killing Blow? Here's the Beta Rules text for reference (emphasis mine): My call on the field was "Yes", and since you cannot perform a Killing Blow on an unwilling, undisabled target, it effectively interrupted the Killing Blow. I...

Hey all, Had a question come up in how to determine the number of ritual points available for a magic item I have. I have an item with Paralysis 3/Ever Remove Paralysis 3/Ever Several Questions: 1a) Remove Paralysis was an 8th Circle Spell. Cleanse is 4th Circle, a lower difficulty. Do I get...

Hey all! Here's a link to the universal downtime for all players: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jvmfI3IkvXHnCB6FbxOEnmRMdzcjVRpoFCCDdCcZgBc/edit?usp=sharing Additionally, we have a public culture packet for the Imperium Tarquinii with laws and cultural information here...

These announcements will be at logistics and also posted inside each cabin. We've done this the last couple games, and it's sped up opening significantly.

Find me in Foxbridge any time, and I will teach you. ~Reeve Ashok

To all those who fight for the future of Sedovia and Aerastria. Last weekend, you probably heard the great screams twice, once Saturday afternoon, and once early Sunday morning. This is due to Lumos resurrecting. It is imperative that Lumos is not killed again. Plans are in the works to deal...

I'll claim packets, at least 120 of each type.

I spent several weeks studying a group of imprisoned Volig. They do not speak the common tongue (uncertain whether that is due to biology or choice), but can communicate with each other, similar to wolves or other pack animals. They are aggressive against other races, but even when placed in...

This is confirmed true for Volig, but I have been told that at least some Barghests don't take Kyn Reavers, so it is worth confirming for each race individually.

Hey, could you add an address to the Amazon wish list? You can have it hidden, I think, so the people buying you stuff won't see where it's going, but it would make ordering off the wishlist much easier. =)

I will participate in the Riddle Challenge, the Combat Tourney, and the Ribbon Race. -Ashok

Thank you so much to Adam, Rob, and Amy for all your hard work. Looking forward to what the new team comes up with!

In the moment when I can feel myself breaking, I will often force a yawn rather than smile or frown or whatnot. It's a nice, neutral expression that will override any other emotion on the face. More generally, I find some basic mindfulness/meditation practices to be very useful. Simple things...

Alcandar- Congratulations on the birth of your daughter. It is always good when happiness comes to those who have worked so hard for it. May she live a long and productive life. ~Ashok

They can't be given an Earth Blade because Earth Blade is in the Healing effect group, which golems are immune to. The High Magic ability is not a Healing effect, I would have no problem with it being used by an Earth formalist in a golem. I also don't see a real balance problem with it, as it's...

Thanks for the comments Ben and Evan, I've edited the text to reflect them.

At the last game, we had a number of issues with players improperly trying to pick up and carry incapacitated characters. In at least one case, this led to an injury for the player being picked up. This is a summary of all the picking up and carrying rules, to make sure we avoid these kinds of...
