It can only be repaired by an Alchemist... not sure of the rates, though.

Braden Campbell

Indeed.

Have fun. Stay safe. And don't forget to purchase some orange drink Thundercloud Galaxy for the long ride home.

A looooong time ago, I had this notion that the company should launch a series of SDC "dimension books" for the Fantasy line... called "realms books." And that Wormwood could be reworked to be the first such supplemental setting for that line. One thing I can tell you (having bro...

The suggestion that they be included was specifically one of mine.

Of the two, resin is far easier to convert... so, resin.

But, honestly, plastic is the way to go.

this is mostly published timelines in books.

It's lengthy, and doesn't contain EVERYTHING... but, here's a start. _____________________________________________________ Palladium World Timeline 100,000 years ago — The Age of Chaos ends and the Age of Light begins. 90,000 years ago — The Battle of Gods. 70,000 years ago — The Time of a Thousand ...

I know there's the one in the Main Book, but has anyone put together an expanded version drawn from the entire line?

Braden Campbell

You could just neuter them by having Novus 9 vanish... as is hinted at in the text, if I recall.

Now I'm wondering what an orc camp is like and how territory works between the various tribes and clans. I mean are they all nomadic or do you find orc villages and the like? A mix, i would think, between tribes that favour nomadic wandering, and those that set up more permanently. Orcs "have ...

Braden Campbell

My personal intension was more in line with: the party is traveling across the Old Kingdom. They encounter an orc scouting/scavenging/raiding/war party - how big and scary is said party?

Braden Campbell

Time and again, we are told that travel into the Old Kingdom is a dangerous undertaking because one will inevitably encounter hostile groups of orcs (the most numerous of the sub-human species). However, aside from this affirmation, there is little else for a GM to go on. Well, fret no longer! Takin...

Braden Campbell

From an official answer to a long-ago Q&A, we know there are four time zones from east to we4st as well.

Braden Campbell

Yeah, Will rocks indeed.

Braden Campbell

I actually prefer the idea that they employ bioluminescent creatures as light sources. There's a lot of interesting design space there (like, a "lantern" that's full of saltwater and glowing anemone)

Book 14, pg 82-83

Braden Campbell

It's not explicitly mentioned... but, since they usually live in deep water/ocean environments, should the Zaranceti have some kind of see-in-the-dark nightvision?

Braden Campbell

A lot of OCCs can be customized with backstory and skill selection. what about a priest of light that specializes more in repelling/slaying monsters and demons than in healing?

Braden Campbell

What's my alignment?

Braden Campbell

Its an ice cap... and north of that (south, maybe, it the ice is over the pole?) you encounter the wall again.

There's no escape...

Braden Campbell

As of "Bizantium," the Black Wall surrounds the entire continent. It's six or seven hundred miles to the south, east, and west, and more to the north.

Braden Campbell

There are seasons (it's not always winter in the Great Northern Wilderness, for example, and the Golden Coast has storms only certain parts of the year)...and the prevailing winds blow from west to east (Library). Given the tropical climate of the south, I have always presumed an "equator"...

Braden Campbell

South-east of Mt Nimro... that area is apparently all swamps and wetlands.

Braden Campbell

Well, since we find giraffes and,other African savana animals in the OK Southern lowlands (but not in the western or eastern ones) you may be right.

Braden Campbell

Being in the middle of the continent, the Old Kingdom probably sees less rainfall than other parts of the world. However, would not storms form from time to time over the Scarlet Sea, and then be carried inland by the western winds? And what effect, if any, would the mountains have re. weather patte...

Braden Campbell

Nah... I have the fortress sitting atop the Old Kingdom version of Castle Rock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Rock_(Edinburgh). So there's only one real approach and the site itself is 250' above the rest of the countryside.

Braden Campbell

Still, its a lot roomier than I initially thought.

Braden Campbell

My Old kingdom game has finally reached the "tiny human kingdom" based around the ancient elven fortress-tower of Shillendar. (LoB, 152-153). Now, given that the structure is 900' across and 30' high (so... 2-3 stories) not to mention its central 150' spire... how many people could realist...

My only problem with this is that it's countered by the text saying "nearly instant". It also neuters a GB which is not as powerful as it was in the RMB days... If the GB pilot has as few as 5 attacks, engaging/disengaging the pylons would take all of 3 seconds. As well, every other chara...

Braden Campbell

Make it cost an attack/action to engage or disengage the pylons. Done.

Braden Campbell

Perhaps there's just a breed of Old Kingdom thouroubreds that are slightly larger and more aggressive than others...?

Braden Campbell

My current campaign now focuses on a trek across the Old Kingdom, and I'm suddenly faced with the question of what the locals (ie non-humans) ride around on. Orc barbarians on _horses_ just doesn't seem right. So, what do we have for cannon exotic mounts... or do I have to invent a few beasties to f...

Braden Campbell

I would offer this: be prepared for the fact that the Players will be able to make mincemeat out of just about every threat they encounter which is NOT prepared to fight vampires... but will be slaughtered quickly by threats that are.

Braden Campbell

OK...OK... maybe not a hydra - but defiantly a nasty big enough that an otherwise random group of people, who all happen to be there when the thing attacks, have to team up in order to defeat it.

Braden Campbell

Nothing builds bonds of friendship and mutual admiration like fighting a hydra...

Given the lack of volcanoes on them, the Floenries are likely "continental islands" and the water levels in between then are probably pretty shallow. Although... the Straight of Relar could actually be a fairly deep trench... and the area of water south of The Rock could also suddenly dro...

Braden Campbell

Is it weird how "flat" these islands are? Does that tell us anything, geologically?

Braden Campbell

I too have been presuming that "Pendaltor" is the name of that South Wind province, separated from the rest of them by that strip of Yin-Sloth jungle.

I vote for option C

I wrote an essay when this series first came out, giving a plausible explanation for why the Tolkeen war looked like WWI. I will dig it up when I get back to my main PC. The short answer is: Free Quebec leaving the Coalition created a two-front war at the worst possible moment for the CS, and they h...

I was honestly going to PM you about this very thing yesterday, but decided against being a pest;)

Somewhat. One of the main villains in our current palladium game is a Psi-mystic, born in a graveyard, and connected (inhabited?) by some evil supernatural power. Her "theme" is ghosts and spirits, and since her magic innately comes to her, she has been gifted with some of the Bygone spiri...
