WEBVTT
00:00:06.317 --> 00:00:12.237
Hey Travelers, welcome to The Shattered God, a cinematic Daggerheart actual
00:00:12.237 --> 00:00:14.897
play brought to you by Ghostlight.
00:00:15.817 --> 00:00:19.797
Before the story begins, we invite you into our Session Zero.
00:00:20.217 --> 00:00:22.057
Sure, it's a little rough around
00:00:22.057 --> 00:00:25.877
the edges, but this will serve as the foundation of everything to come.
00:00:25.877 --> 00:00:30.437
In this episode, you'll meet our players, explore their characters,
00:00:30.697 --> 00:00:36.737
and get a glimpse into the world of Erendor, a realm on the brink of divine collapse.
00:00:37.117 --> 00:00:42.017
We'll walk through character creation, align on tone and safety tools,
00:00:42.177 --> 00:00:46.777
and uncover the threads that will bind our heroes to the fate of the gods.
00:00:47.297 --> 00:00:53.057
Now this isn't just prep, this is a part of the story. The decisions our players
00:00:53.057 --> 00:00:55.277
make here will shape relationships.
00:00:55.877 --> 00:01:02.837
Define moral boundaries, and determine whose light still burns when the veil begins to tear away.
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.560
So settle in, this world is still whole, for now.
00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:14.100
So let's begin, right after a word from our sponsors.
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.060
This episode of Ghostlight is brought to you by World Anvil,
00:01:20.300 --> 00:01:23.980
the world-building platform we rely on to keep our lore organized,
00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:29.300
our timelines straight, and our gods, well, mostly under control.
00:01:29.660 --> 00:01:35.260
If you're a game master, author, or storyteller, World Anvil gives you everything
00:01:35.260 --> 00:01:40.240
you need to build immersive settings, track character arcs, manage maps,
00:01:40.440 --> 00:01:44.060
and connect every piece of your story all in one place.
00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:48.980
We use it to run our campaigns, our one-shots, and our mini-series in Erendor.
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.840
And with all the chaos unfolding in The Shattered God, trust me,
00:01:54.460 --> 00:01:56.700
having a tool like this is essential.

four seconds before or something out of how many rolls like all of them.
00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:02.240
You said 300, right? Some amount of zeros were there. I mean, I don't know.
00:03:03.424 --> 00:03:05.444
Well, zeroes don't matter.
00:03:08.304 --> 00:03:11.484
I rolled a zero. All right.
00:03:12.744 --> 00:03:16.344
Thank you for those of you joining us on the various platforms.

00:03:18.764 --> 00:03:24.364
which is already a critical success in my book. We're done, everybody.
00:03:24.884 --> 00:03:27.224

will next month fairy druid from the garden the fairy druid from the garden
00:08:08.534 --> 00:08:12.834
what does that mean exactly that's what we're here to answer so this is a session
00:08:12.834 --> 00:08:17.014
zero it's not going to be a traditional session zero because y'all have already
00:08:17.014 --> 00:08:20.814
done so much work on discord and it's thank you for.
00:08:22.068 --> 00:08:27.528
Having thoughtful answers and engaging in that way, it's made things super enjoyable
00:08:27.528 --> 00:08:30.288
for me, hopefully for you all as well, but definitely for me,
00:08:30.428 --> 00:08:32.948
which is, you know, makes me happy.
00:08:33.468 --> 00:08:39.288
So what we did first is I put out a survey asking anyone who wanted to sign up to sign up.
00:08:39.528 --> 00:08:46.248
And in that process, you all filled it out and agreed to be a part of this little experiment.
00:08:46.408 --> 00:08:49.468
We instantly started talking about what your characters would be like.
00:08:49.468 --> 00:08:51.968
Like you all had some great, great ideas right off the bat.
00:08:52.208 --> 00:08:56.228
We've developed those. We've sort of even talked about locations in the world.
00:08:56.688 --> 00:08:59.628
The homebrew world that we're doing this in is called Erendor.
00:08:59.788 --> 00:09:03.668
It's completely homebrewed. Some of you have played in it through our one shots previous.
00:09:04.148 --> 00:09:09.328
And all of those one shots sort of culminate in the adventure that you're having now.
00:09:09.668 --> 00:09:13.088
You don't need to have been a part of them previously to enjoy it.
00:09:13.308 --> 00:09:17.888
It's all the lore of the world has been building to this moment.
00:09:18.188 --> 00:09:23.108
So as we start to move through, I have an agenda I even have it in front of
00:09:23.108 --> 00:09:25.068
me like I'm at work. This is fantastic.
00:09:26.728 --> 00:09:28.588
Goldie's laughing saying never have an agenda.
00:09:30.468 --> 00:09:34.548
No comment. Goldie knows I'm the least organized person when it comes to these things.
00:09:34.928 --> 00:09:38.248
What I want to what I want to cover tonight is I want to talk more in depth
00:09:38.248 --> 00:09:41.228
about some of the backstory elements that we've developed.
00:09:41.448 --> 00:09:45.768
I've talked to all of you at some capacity about your character's backstory.
00:09:46.708 --> 00:09:52.148
Weaving those into the world, but also weaving them into one another has been a lot of fun.
00:09:52.288 --> 00:09:56.808
There's been some really great coincidences, like having a scarecrow and a flying monkey.
00:09:57.028 --> 00:09:59.948
Like, what have you got? Oh my gosh, that's awesome.
00:10:00.808 --> 00:10:05.788
We almost had a witch. We almost had a witch. That is true. So close.
00:10:05.988 --> 00:10:06.828
We're bringing our own wizard.
00:10:07.328 --> 00:10:09.528
Hey, why can't I get a wizard of Oz?
00:10:10.328 --> 00:10:14.248
I don't know, I got a wizard. There's got to be some kind of a fun girl pun
00:10:14.248 --> 00:10:18.168
that we can say for the Oz part of that. I got to start Googling.
00:10:18.848 --> 00:10:21.268
Yeah. So one thing I want to do is talk about your characters,
00:10:21.408 --> 00:10:26.708
talk about sort of what your thought is with who they are as beings, as mortals.
00:10:27.228 --> 00:10:33.508
Talk about the campaign frame that we've written for this and what you can expect going forward.
00:10:33.848 --> 00:10:37.388
Right off the bat, though, I want to talk about a few things for safety.
00:10:37.608 --> 00:10:41.708
So obviously, this is all role play. You all are responsible adults.
00:10:42.408 --> 00:10:46.688
I do want to talk a little bit about, we got into it in the survey about what
00:10:46.688 --> 00:10:50.388
are lines and veils and talk about X card type material.
00:10:50.568 --> 00:10:54.188
Coming up with a common sign, if anything is off the table, if we're going to
00:10:54.188 --> 00:10:57.168
a place where people are like, meh, just coming up with a sign.
00:10:57.348 --> 00:10:59.348
I thought this whole thing would
00:10:59.348 --> 00:11:02.848
be the perfect version of it because it's on screen and I can see it.
00:11:03.368 --> 00:11:07.468
Also, it's very symbolic. So if anyone has any objections or something else
00:11:07.468 --> 00:11:12.528
that they'd like to suggest for our X card, short of actually writing cards
00:11:12.528 --> 00:11:13.868
and putting them in front of your cameras.
00:11:14.425 --> 00:11:19.945
All yours good i think that's good tossing up a big x all right when it comes
00:11:19.945 --> 00:11:26.605
to lines we don't have much sexual violence sexual themes in general it's kind
00:11:26.605 --> 00:11:31.925
of the only real outlined line that we have currently we will fade to black
00:11:31.925 --> 00:11:34.145
where necessary that sounds good to everybody.
00:11:35.025 --> 00:11:43.265
Great yep all right so let's talk a little bit about the story before we start talking about.
00:11:44.345 --> 00:11:47.005
Characters here's the long and short of it some of you
00:11:47.005 --> 00:11:50.125
have been in into goldie i think you've been in every one
00:11:50.125 --> 00:11:54.345
shot so far even the one that we didn't finish and sage
00:11:54.345 --> 00:11:57.225
and phoenix you you both are in different ones
00:11:57.225 --> 00:12:00.285
as well so everything has been sort of building up
00:12:00.285 --> 00:12:03.825
in this world to the gods are dying in
00:12:03.825 --> 00:12:07.585
this world their miracles are faltering their
00:12:07.585 --> 00:12:12.265
temples are crumbling their voices grow quiet and in the silence something older
00:12:12.265 --> 00:12:18.605
begins to stir forgotten power buried beneath a scar in the land where a star
00:12:18.605 --> 00:12:24.305
once fell now you are marked or chosen however you want to,
00:12:24.845 --> 00:12:32.185
view that by what you believe are fading gods hunted by the rising ones and
00:12:32.185 --> 00:12:34.445
caught in a battle for the soul of the world.
00:12:35.005 --> 00:12:39.745
As reality fractures and myths take on lives of their own, your story may be
00:12:39.745 --> 00:12:44.245
the one that shapes what comes next or what ends it.
00:12:45.125 --> 00:12:52.265
In The Shattered God, you'll play heroes bound to the last flicker of divine
00:12:52.265 --> 00:12:55.065
power, navigating a world where faith is fragile,
00:12:55.745 --> 00:13:01.465
monsters wear familiar faces, and every legend begins with a choice.
00:13:02.145 --> 00:13:08.585
Some of the themes we're going for are mystical, magical, mythical,
00:13:08.585 --> 00:13:16.645
haunting, unstable, celestial, symbolic, tragic, and mysterious.
00:13:16.865 --> 00:13:22.445
And that should align with what many of you put on your survey when you joined up.
00:13:23.545 --> 00:13:29.525
Themes that deal with fallen faith fractured identity divine collapse legacy
00:13:29.525 --> 00:13:36.425
choice becoming a myth hope and despair as opposed to hope and fear anyone have any questions?
00:13:36.985 --> 00:13:44.325
No questions from me so far all right hope and despair I'm sorry beautiful Jeff
00:13:44.325 --> 00:13:48.245
Kis all right so my hope dies right as paradise,
00:13:49.345 --> 00:13:53.185
they're darker colored right or cloudier One of the two. All right,
00:13:53.445 --> 00:13:54.625
so for those of you who don't know,
00:13:55.098 --> 00:13:58.558
Erendor is the name of the world. Valdrennen is the name of the continent.
00:13:58.858 --> 00:14:02.518
It is the first continent of the world. We haven't created any other ones yet,
00:14:02.518 --> 00:14:05.718
but we did this this way so that if we wanted to expand, we could.
00:14:05.938 --> 00:14:09.258
So the skies above Valdrennen grow dimmer with each passing night.
00:14:09.658 --> 00:14:13.498
The stars seem quieter. The moons pull closer than they should.
00:14:14.198 --> 00:14:19.198
Somewhere deep in the earth, crystal veins whisper through soil and stone.
00:14:19.718 --> 00:14:25.638
And the people of the city, of the coast and mountain, have begun to forget
00:14:25.638 --> 00:14:28.238
the light. The age is changing.
00:14:28.738 --> 00:14:30.738
Most just don't realize it yet.
00:14:31.898 --> 00:14:37.538
Long ago, during the age of dawnfire, a solitary celestial being crossed into this plane.
00:14:38.078 --> 00:14:46.618
Alone, eternal, and empty, it breathed life into others like itself to stave off the silence.
00:14:47.618 --> 00:14:51.978
And so the gods were born, radiant, wild, and discordant.
00:14:52.578 --> 00:14:57.178
To give them purpose, the celestial commanded his children to shape a world.
00:14:58.018 --> 00:15:02.758
And so they did, dividing creation among themselves, light and life,
00:15:03.318 --> 00:15:06.078
land and sea, darkness and death.
00:15:06.978 --> 00:15:11.758
But creation brought with it something unexpected. Mortals, fragile,
00:15:12.138 --> 00:15:16.818
imperfect, driven. and among them the gods saw reflections of themselves.
00:15:17.498 --> 00:15:23.458
In time, they began choosing their favorites, their heroes and prophets,
00:15:23.958 --> 00:15:25.758
those who carried a divine spark.
00:15:26.078 --> 00:15:31.038
From these people legends are born and from one such legend, a god of chaos emerged.
00:15:31.978 --> 00:15:36.638
Nixarath, once mortal, was uplifted by the gods of war and death.
00:15:36.998 --> 00:15:41.478
They believed him worthy of something more, but power twisted its purpose.
00:15:42.118 --> 00:15:49.258
Joy turned to bloodshed. Cities were broken in his name. Souls delivered to death by the thousands.
00:15:49.918 --> 00:15:55.678
Regret came too late. And with the help of the mortals, the gods banished Nicorath beyond the veil.
00:15:56.218 --> 00:16:01.418
Then they too withdrew, fearing their influence but only deepened mortal suffering.
00:16:01.958 --> 00:16:06.798
But their faith lingered. For centuries, no divine voice pierced the realm.
00:16:06.798 --> 00:16:12.498
No avatars walked among mortals until something else arrived.
00:16:13.438 --> 00:16:20.638
Another celestial, alien in purpose, vast in power. With the gods silent, it found no resistance.
00:16:21.058 --> 00:16:27.558
It whispered through dreams, crept into ritual, and seeded its influence in
00:16:27.558 --> 00:16:29.098
wild and wounded places.
00:16:29.578 --> 00:16:36.178
And in time, it found a kindred spirit, the still-breathing shadow of Nixirath.
00:16:36.798 --> 00:16:40.178
Imprisoned, forgotten, and furious.
00:16:41.541 --> 00:16:44.661
Their bond will reshape this world.
00:16:45.181 --> 00:16:50.121
Across Valdrennan, strange crystals have begun to form from rock en route.
00:16:50.781 --> 00:16:54.541
Beasts warp into crystalline hollow-eyed monsters.
00:16:55.201 --> 00:16:59.901
Mortals turn on one another in senseless violence. Sounds familiar.
00:17:00.481 --> 00:17:04.061
The faithful may see visions of strange stars.
00:17:04.681 --> 00:17:07.561
The land itself unravels.
00:17:08.381 --> 00:17:16.141
But the gods are returning. One by one, they stir from slumber or exile.
00:17:16.961 --> 00:17:22.381
And in secret, they begin choosing new champions. The chosen.
00:17:23.181 --> 00:17:26.761
Mortals to bear their mark, their voice, and their will.
00:17:27.121 --> 00:17:31.361
These are those who are destined to push back against the usurper's growing
00:17:31.361 --> 00:17:38.421
influence and prevent the rise of the one they now call the Shattered God.
00:17:39.081 --> 00:17:41.901
The story picks up here. This little place is called Lunestra.
00:17:42.121 --> 00:17:45.021
This is where you started with the silent tide.
00:17:45.301 --> 00:17:50.761
Although you won't be starting in the docks, you'll be starting in the main city.
00:17:50.901 --> 00:17:54.621
Now, you all have reasons for being there that we've talked about a little bit.
00:17:54.781 --> 00:17:56.481
Some of you live there. Some of you work there.
00:17:56.901 --> 00:18:00.621
Some of you are there on your own quests. This is where it's going to start.
00:18:00.621 --> 00:18:05.541
So as we move forward in our agenda, and that's the overall concept,
00:18:05.801 --> 00:18:09.481
the aim, the tone, and the subject, we talked about safety tools.
00:18:09.741 --> 00:18:13.561
And now we can start talking about your characters specifically,
00:18:13.941 --> 00:18:16.801
and how they sort of exist in this world.
00:18:17.001 --> 00:18:21.181
We don't have to do it in any sort of any sort of order, we sort of move the
00:18:21.181 --> 00:18:27.081
spotlight around the table and talk about who's doing what.
00:18:27.081 --> 00:18:29.941
Now, you don't have to reveal anything about your character that you don't want
00:18:29.941 --> 00:18:33.761
if you want it to be sort of a fun reveal for folks.
00:18:33.901 --> 00:18:38.461
But there is some opportunity to talk about how your characters interact with
00:18:38.461 --> 00:18:41.041
the world. I'm going to start talking about Throg.
00:18:41.461 --> 00:18:43.081
Am I saying that right? Yeah.
00:18:43.761 --> 00:18:48.461
You said it was from the language I thought maybe. Well, it's supposed to be Throgé. Now it's Throg.
00:18:51.201 --> 00:18:51.641
Throgé.
00:18:54.981 --> 00:18:59.061
So just through our conversation. So yours is a mixed ancestry,
00:18:59.221 --> 00:19:03.981
so half orc, the other half is human? Yeah, for sure.
00:19:04.741 --> 00:19:11.721
Would you say that Throg looks more like a...
00:19:12.301 --> 00:19:18.481
He looks more like a traditional orc. The big, tall, blocky, you know, the,
00:19:19.053 --> 00:19:28.093
tusks polished very very nicely polished but still tusks uh i mean the only real.
00:19:29.213 --> 00:19:37.873
I guess nod to his normal or his other non-orc ancestry would be the armor but
00:19:37.873 --> 00:19:44.773
that's more towards blending in with the surroundings since orcs are still very
00:19:44.773 --> 00:19:48.013
much nomadic and not welcome everywhere.
00:19:48.353 --> 00:19:54.073
So what would you say Throg knows of their history, like the orc side of their...
00:19:54.673 --> 00:19:58.233
He knows a lot of the dark stuff.
00:19:58.733 --> 00:20:05.233
I mean, that stuff was pretty much while pounded in a different light than everybody
00:20:05.233 --> 00:20:07.113
else would see it, he does know,
00:20:07.953 --> 00:20:11.193
the certain battles, why they happened,
00:20:11.293 --> 00:20:14.093
and he would have throughout the
00:20:14.093 --> 00:20:17.793
course of interacting with non-orc species found
00:20:17.793 --> 00:20:21.033
out like you know the what what they would what
00:20:21.033 --> 00:20:24.633
his ancestry considered like you know the the
00:20:24.633 --> 00:20:27.733
great victory at stone at
00:20:27.733 --> 00:20:35.353
shattered spire is actually considered you know the to everybody else the catastrophe
00:20:35.353 --> 00:20:41.213
at the fall of shatter spot or something like that yeah he so he did he does
00:20:41.213 --> 00:20:46.973
kind of put one history with the other and kind of figures out that maybe.
00:20:48.073 --> 00:20:50.893
You know a lot of stuff that he grew up
00:20:50.893 --> 00:20:53.693
very proud of was not actually that
00:20:53.693 --> 00:20:57.973
great you know it was so he was proud of the he was proud of those orc yeah
00:20:57.973 --> 00:21:02.293
yeah he grew up grew up and he was surrounded by the parades and the fireworks
00:21:02.293 --> 00:21:09.213
and and the stories and thought like you know this was a great thing And then
00:21:09.213 --> 00:21:12.953
when he gets out and amongst the other races, he finds out,
00:21:13.353 --> 00:21:15.473
well, that was actually a dick move.
00:21:17.093 --> 00:21:20.493
Yeah, so the orcs, and actually there's been a little bit of lore on the orcs,
00:21:20.593 --> 00:21:25.053
even since last night talking with Sage and Phoenix.
00:21:26.133 --> 00:21:31.393
So the orcs on this map, Valthyros here in the center, this was the orc,
00:21:31.593 --> 00:21:33.813
the major orc kingdom for a very long time.
00:21:33.973 --> 00:21:38.613
The orcs sort of rose to power and started pillaging resources out of the earth.
00:21:38.793 --> 00:21:44.913
They literally climbed up from the earth, climbed out of the earth,
00:21:45.053 --> 00:21:48.053
and started to dominate the world around them.
00:21:48.233 --> 00:21:52.573
And I won't say they were tolerated for a while, but there wasn't much any one
00:21:52.573 --> 00:21:54.393
kingdom could do about it.
00:21:54.713 --> 00:22:00.893
It took all of the kingdoms to band together, creating a pact, fight off the orcs.
00:22:01.193 --> 00:22:07.013
And that's how they were able to, I mean, your character may view it as genocide. Yeah.
00:22:07.531 --> 00:22:11.131
That's not how it's generally presented to the rest of the world,
00:22:11.151 --> 00:22:14.311
but it very much was like a lot of orcs died.
00:22:14.731 --> 00:22:19.991
And one of the big things from that is that Nixarath himself was a general during
00:22:19.991 --> 00:22:21.691
the war that pushed the orcs out.
00:22:21.831 --> 00:22:27.391
So he is responsible for killing many, many orcs, which is how he gained the
00:22:27.391 --> 00:22:30.191
favor of the god of war and the god of death.
00:22:30.591 --> 00:22:34.471
They've been pushed away. So the orcs mainly are just nomadic at this point.
00:22:34.471 --> 00:22:37.231
And so they can you can have your character really be
00:22:37.231 --> 00:22:39.911
from sort of anywhere well the
00:22:39.911 --> 00:22:42.811
one thing the one thing that i didn't touch on was
00:22:42.811 --> 00:22:49.131
the fact that once they were splintered throg is actually from one of the tribes
00:22:49.131 --> 00:22:57.011
that realized that they screwed up and with everything with the resources and
00:22:57.011 --> 00:23:01.471
stuff like that getting dwindled kind of need everybody else to survive.
00:23:03.291 --> 00:23:10.051
So we they're not the ones there was kind of two schools of thoughts with the orcs one was,
00:23:10.971 --> 00:23:15.271
there's not enough for everybody so we need to get ours but then there was another
00:23:15.271 --> 00:23:19.091
well there's not enough for everybody so we need to share with us play nice
00:23:19.091 --> 00:23:24.171
with others he's actually from one of those tribes the second in Throg is fighting
00:23:24.171 --> 00:23:29.351
back a lot of the animosity and the harsh feelings that the world has.
00:23:29.571 --> 00:23:33.211
So Throg is do you want to reveal what Throg does in Lunestra?
00:23:34.071 --> 00:23:37.011
Throg is actually a stalwart guardian.
00:23:38.851 --> 00:23:43.751
He is working for the city of.
00:23:45.035 --> 00:23:51.295
As a guardian, because he is actually there on kind of a peacemaking mission
00:23:51.295 --> 00:23:58.795
with his tribe and the council of different tribes that all share the view of, you know,
00:23:59.515 --> 00:24:02.195
our ancestry screwed up, we can be better.
00:24:03.115 --> 00:24:06.535
We're gonna is the so the in lunestra
00:24:06.535 --> 00:24:09.775
when i mentioned that the all the kingdoms sort of came together and
00:24:09.775 --> 00:24:12.955
formed a pack to fight off the orcs that pack still exists
00:24:12.955 --> 00:24:17.155
and that's really the main thing that keeps
00:24:17.155 --> 00:24:20.535
lunestra going is that that center area
00:24:20.535 --> 00:24:24.575
that used to be the orcs has become the pack lands and they
00:24:24.575 --> 00:24:27.995
are represented in lunestra which is his capital by seven
00:24:27.995 --> 00:24:30.835
a seven person council as there were seven kings
00:24:30.835 --> 00:24:33.655
and kingdoms that came together the orcs aren't represented on
00:24:33.655 --> 00:24:36.895
that council but throg is the first ever
00:24:36.895 --> 00:24:39.975
council guardian or council watch
00:24:39.975 --> 00:24:43.855
that is of orc descent so it's
00:24:43.855 --> 00:24:46.775
kind of a big deal for throg and there's a lot riding on the line like
00:24:46.775 --> 00:24:49.615
a lot of eyes might be on throg seeing if
00:24:49.615 --> 00:24:52.615
he's going to screw up he probably is getting some animosity from his
00:24:52.615 --> 00:24:57.875
co-workers if you want to call him that and people around him there are probably
00:24:57.875 --> 00:25:03.275
a lot of people who are hoping i screw up yeah so you probably get the stray
00:25:03.275 --> 00:25:07.835
comment here and there great the other thing i haven't pinned down for throg
00:25:07.835 --> 00:25:09.835
i have a big question mark next to.
00:25:10.995 --> 00:25:16.335
Is where like where does throg call home i know we're saying they're nomadic
00:25:16.335 --> 00:25:26.455
in nature where does he feel most at home he is forcing himself to make when
00:25:26.455 --> 00:25:30.115
extra is out he does he does return,
00:25:31.315 --> 00:25:36.115
to up in the hills right there, right above Valfros.
00:25:38.355 --> 00:25:43.555
That's pretty much that whole area between the mountains and the river there,
00:25:44.175 --> 00:25:49.795
and that far mountain even further northwest towards, what is that, Ralgos?
00:25:50.195 --> 00:25:53.655
Yeah, so like this area here, you can see? Yeah, yeah.
00:25:54.235 --> 00:25:58.555
Perfect. Yeah, so this would be sort of his home lands. Yeah,
00:25:58.635 --> 00:26:02.175
if he was going to go home and find his, you know, Go visit the folks.
00:26:02.635 --> 00:26:06.515
He'd be heading up towards there to shack them down. All right.
00:26:06.615 --> 00:26:09.835
So his folks are still alive. Yeah. What?
00:26:10.835 --> 00:26:13.495
Maybe. Maybe. As far as he knows.
00:26:15.315 --> 00:26:19.095
What ancestry do his parents have? Mother is Orkish?
00:26:19.435 --> 00:26:24.195
His mother figure was actually his aunt on his father's side.
00:26:24.675 --> 00:26:30.875
So his folks aren't. But the people he's known as his folks all of his life
00:26:30.875 --> 00:26:33.275
are orcs on his father's side.
00:26:33.655 --> 00:26:35.935
Oh, so he doesn't know anything about his mother.
00:26:37.555 --> 00:26:42.815
What he does know about his mother is that when he was born,
00:26:43.055 --> 00:26:44.855
he's the reason she is not alive.
00:26:47.075 --> 00:26:53.535
Okay. Whatever race she was, she gave birth to an orc.
00:26:55.035 --> 00:26:58.915
And that didn't sit well with this, with her folks.
00:26:59.455 --> 00:27:02.775
Not that they burned a cross in her front yard, but I mean, they did kill her.
00:27:02.895 --> 00:27:04.015
So I guess that's just bad.
00:27:04.775 --> 00:27:11.655
Good stuff. I mean, horrible, horribly tragic stuff, good, good storytelling
00:27:11.655 --> 00:27:13.575
elements. Gotta be clear.
00:27:14.795 --> 00:27:17.895
You gave a good amount of info about stuff.
00:27:19.475 --> 00:27:22.895
Fantastic. All right. Right. You know, that's like the perfect spot to,
00:27:23.155 --> 00:27:26.555
I feel like there would, I feel like a lot of orcs, I mean, I don't know,
00:27:26.715 --> 00:27:29.495
but, but I feel like, I feel like a lot of orcs would probably still feel acclaimed
00:27:29.495 --> 00:27:31.575
to that, especially that mountain range.
00:27:32.055 --> 00:27:35.295
And whereas like, that's like where the bulk of their kingdom was located in,
00:27:35.315 --> 00:27:37.135
in age prior, in the age prior.
00:27:37.795 --> 00:27:42.335
Awesome. It's a good place to go and think. Sort of along the similar vein,
00:27:42.335 --> 00:27:47.095
as far as the reasons why they're in Lunisra.
00:27:48.015 --> 00:27:49.815
Goldie, let's talk about Oleg.
00:27:51.030 --> 00:27:56.210
Yeah, sorry, my camera's not working out if I saw that later. No worries.
00:27:57.450 --> 00:28:01.850
Oleg is a simia. So he's a monkey person.
00:28:02.890 --> 00:28:10.410
He comes from Regos, which is the region of Valjornan to the northwest.
00:28:12.570 --> 00:28:20.350
And in his earlier life, he was part of a troop of simia until he came of age,
00:28:20.450 --> 00:28:25.850
in which point a lot of the males from the troop tend to go out on their own.
00:28:26.790 --> 00:28:34.910
And he settled into mercenary work, doing not the most noble work.
00:28:35.170 --> 00:28:42.470
Things like debt collecting, escorting nobles or caravans until the mercenary
00:28:42.470 --> 00:28:48.670
company dissolved after crossing the wrong noble, but nothing drastic,
00:28:48.990 --> 00:28:53.230
it sort of just fizzled out and faded into obscurity.
00:28:53.810 --> 00:29:02.390
At which point, Oleg eventually finds himself not too far from Lunasra in a place called Truevale.
00:29:03.870 --> 00:29:09.310
In Truevale, it's almost like a commune where people were living off the land
00:29:09.310 --> 00:29:16.290
and he was taken in by a family there until that place was eventually attacked
00:29:16.290 --> 00:29:21.730
by what I believe is something to do with whatever's happening in the world right now.
00:29:22.350 --> 00:29:30.750
And he was sort of saved by a religious order of knights and taken in with them.
00:29:32.070 --> 00:29:34.230
And that's why he's now a seraph.
00:29:36.050 --> 00:29:38.110
If people aren't familiar with
00:29:38.110 --> 00:29:43.670
seraphs, they're somewhere between a cleric and a paladin sort of theme.
00:29:43.670 --> 00:29:49.230
And for what to go started with the link to the dark story is he is currently
00:29:49.230 --> 00:29:54.210
serving as a not so very good guard in Indonesia.
00:29:54.910 --> 00:30:01.270
What does that mean? Not so very good guard. Never met one of those in my life.
00:30:02.830 --> 00:30:07.570
He's not very attentive to his duties. Yeah. So Oleg, do you want to reveal
00:30:07.570 --> 00:30:10.850
the night order or do you want to do that during gameplay?
00:30:11.772 --> 00:30:14.492
Uh i can talk about it now i just didn't want
00:30:14.492 --> 00:30:17.172
to info dump everyone so that they struggle to
00:30:17.172 --> 00:30:20.132
remember things all right we can i mean we can approach i
00:30:20.132 --> 00:30:23.692
guess it's not important to what we're what we're just talking about but you exist
00:30:23.692 --> 00:30:26.952
with a a group that's trying to establish themselves
00:30:26.952 --> 00:30:31.652
in lunestra trying to get their foot in the door and they're doing they're doing
00:30:31.652 --> 00:30:36.372
a lot to try to do that one of the things they're doing is taking guard shifts
00:30:36.372 --> 00:30:41.172
from city watch the council watch that sort of thing and we've talked about
00:30:41.172 --> 00:30:44.372
oleg and how they're often.
00:30:46.432 --> 00:30:53.552
Voluntold for the mundane monotonous work right yes so oleg is the junior member
00:30:53.552 --> 00:30:59.592
of the knights who arrived in the city so he gets source jobs and he doesn't
00:30:59.592 --> 00:31:04.852
like doing them but listen i was a private so if you need a list of bad jobs in a military regime.
00:31:06.812 --> 00:31:12.012
He gets sent to the stores for big weights and long stands and uh no good lots
00:31:12.012 --> 00:31:18.712
of mopping too all right any any and so we've established your point of origin which was this corvea,
00:31:19.252 --> 00:31:22.172
up in the corner here sort of a more of a you
00:31:22.172 --> 00:31:24.852
know there's not as far as like infrastructure for regos is
00:31:24.852 --> 00:31:27.732
concerned there wasn't much before we started this but between
00:31:27.732 --> 00:31:30.532
you and how we've sort of built up a little bit now
00:31:30.532 --> 00:31:33.932
there's just like sort of a fortress like a
00:31:33.932 --> 00:31:36.712
like a wooded fortress that's there to act
00:31:36.712 --> 00:31:40.132
as sort of a waypoint between Corvallis and
00:31:40.132 --> 00:31:43.032
and Rhaegos Corvallis is this little
00:31:43.032 --> 00:31:46.292
area here which is the human domain and humans are by
00:31:46.292 --> 00:31:50.432
nature a pain in the ass I'm sure we all know that they're constantly trying
00:31:50.432 --> 00:31:54.352
to expand their territory and and Rhaegos is constantly trying to push them
00:31:54.352 --> 00:31:59.812
back so your original settlement acted as sort of a buffer between the citizenry
00:31:59.812 --> 00:32:03.732
of Rhaegos and any sort of expeditions into the area.
00:32:04.132 --> 00:32:08.852
And Trueval is over here, quite a ways away. That's where you ended up.
00:32:09.012 --> 00:32:15.412
And on that subject, let's go to Toleran, Dar. All right.
00:32:15.952 --> 00:32:28.452
So Dar is a, in game terms, a clank, but they are actually a creepy scarecrow. love it.
00:32:29.120 --> 00:32:35.240
I think only recently has come to life. Before that, they were actually a scarecrow.
00:32:35.560 --> 00:32:38.320
Not too much. I want to get into it now.
00:32:38.660 --> 00:32:47.740
But yeah, they awoke in True Vale and have been trying to make their way down to Ledestra.
00:32:48.180 --> 00:32:52.580
Someone said hopefully the scarecrow. I am so curious because you're like,
00:32:52.780 --> 00:32:57.540
I just, I was awoken and I'm making my way down there.
00:32:57.540 --> 00:33:03.000
I'm like, man, like, Rez, like, turn you animate and then say,
00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:06.020
go do this for me? I'm so curious. I mean, we'll find out.
00:33:06.420 --> 00:33:09.340
What makes a scarecrow get up and walk to Lunestra?
00:33:09.940 --> 00:33:14.380
I know, right? Like, what did that? There have been several movies on this subject.
00:33:16.840 --> 00:33:23.880
It's usually available from September to October 31st. There is not.
00:33:24.980 --> 00:33:30.580
Just so that we're all on the same page, in the world of Erendor,
00:33:31.280 --> 00:33:34.140
there is no yellow brick road.
00:33:34.980 --> 00:33:38.640
It's not there. We have a flying monkey. We have a scarecrow.
00:33:38.760 --> 00:33:40.800
Yet. There is no yellow. Yet.
00:33:41.900 --> 00:33:44.620
We'll see where this session zero takes us.
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:51.720
So without revealing your backstory I'm trying to think what questions I can
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:54.140
ask that's not going to get us down that road,
00:33:55.500 --> 00:34:00.180
we already talked to the tin man so what backstory okay I'm done,
00:34:01.020 --> 00:34:04.920
I would at this point like to point out none of us planned the whole list of us theme,
00:34:05.420 --> 00:34:10.480
nope I had the idea for this character like in the back of my mind like for
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:14.660
over a year and just haven't had a chance to use it and this one was it And
00:34:14.660 --> 00:34:19.900
then, yeah, we're going through and then all of a sudden pops up a flying monkey. And I was like, oh, God.
00:34:21.700 --> 00:34:27.660
Perfect. Whoops. We almost had a witch. Okay. We're going to take a lot of interesting
00:34:27.660 --> 00:34:29.220
twists and turns. Really?
00:34:31.667 --> 00:34:35.967
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You don't want to talk about why you're coming to Lunestra
00:34:35.967 --> 00:34:38.007
because that would spoil it.
00:34:38.307 --> 00:34:44.467
What connections has Dar made since setting out on his journey to Lunestra?
00:34:44.567 --> 00:34:47.927
What other connections pre-story does Dar have in the outside world?
00:34:48.487 --> 00:34:54.647
On their way, he's probably scared a few people the first few interactions.
00:34:55.427 --> 00:35:03.687
Why? And then, I don't know. Oh, it's just a creepy looking scarecrow walking around.
00:35:03.967 --> 00:35:07.887
And his face only has kind of two modes.
00:35:08.187 --> 00:35:12.347
There is the resting creepy face and then more of like a snarl.
00:35:12.827 --> 00:35:18.907
And other than that, they don't have much control over their facial features. It's one or the other.
00:35:19.487 --> 00:35:22.987
I'd love to see what counts as a smile on Dara's face.
00:35:25.487 --> 00:35:26.087
Outstanding.
00:35:28.307 --> 00:35:34.307
That's what all it can do. Yeah. Oh, and quite often, if he's not actively thinking
00:35:34.307 --> 00:35:37.207
about it, or he's like just resting or not paying attention to things,
00:35:37.667 --> 00:35:42.127
his head will just slightly, or not more than slightly, just hang to the side.
00:35:43.147 --> 00:35:48.007
Just, all right. Yeah. So as far as connections that he's made,
00:35:48.147 --> 00:35:49.607
just with scaring people,
00:35:49.887 --> 00:35:54.547
sort of maybe a couple of conversations that pointed him in the direction of
00:35:54.547 --> 00:36:00.427
Lunastra to answer his, or to figure out what his journey is about.
00:36:00.627 --> 00:36:05.207
I think maybe like traveling even before they knew L'Anastra was what they're looking for.
00:36:05.447 --> 00:36:08.587
Maybe there was a lone traveler
00:36:08.587 --> 00:36:13.407
that was getting attacked by an animal or something that he scared the animal
00:36:13.407 --> 00:36:19.227
away and then it was getting late so they camped out with the person that he
00:36:19.227 --> 00:36:25.967
helped and maybe that's when he asked a few questions and found out that L'Anastra
00:36:25.967 --> 00:36:27.407
is where he should be headed.
00:36:28.187 --> 00:36:33.887
Where would you say that this occurred? Like when Dar set off out of Trueville,
00:36:34.367 --> 00:36:38.087
where would you say what direction do you think he started in?
00:36:38.427 --> 00:36:39.707
Maybe just started heading south.
00:36:40.167 --> 00:36:43.227
Maybe Dar accidentally went on the wrong side of the mountains first.
00:36:43.967 --> 00:36:51.627
I mean, probably. So interestingly enough, this area over here is mostly elves.
00:36:51.787 --> 00:36:54.507
They keep to themselves and generally don't like anybody. But we do,
00:36:54.647 --> 00:37:00.027
they tolerate like, we have halflings, they tolerate halflings and whatnot.
00:37:00.427 --> 00:37:05.247
So you will see some of them here. You'll see halflings all around the sort
00:37:05.247 --> 00:37:06.367
of the outskirts of this area.
00:37:06.627 --> 00:37:09.987
They're just generally sort of an accepted bunch.
00:37:10.267 --> 00:37:15.447
So there's a pretty good possibility that maybe it was a halfling he encountered that he saved. Yeah.
00:37:16.193 --> 00:37:19.013
That makes sense. Anything else you want to bring up?
00:37:19.233 --> 00:37:22.053
There's something we're going over later where we're talking about like if any
00:37:22.053 --> 00:37:24.693
of us know each other beforehand or...
00:37:24.693 --> 00:37:29.833
I want to go through everyone's backstory and then we can talk about connections
00:37:29.833 --> 00:37:33.613
that aren't... Some of you have connections, but then we can talk about any
00:37:33.613 --> 00:37:38.233
additional connections that you may want to introduce if that works for everybody.
00:37:38.693 --> 00:37:42.653
Okay. Maybe one of you met a creepy scarecrow on the road and was like,
00:37:42.733 --> 00:37:45.413
hey, this guy seems interesting. Like, look at that one.
00:37:46.533 --> 00:37:52.513
Look at that. Look at that snarl. Look at that snarl. They're so cute.
00:37:53.253 --> 00:37:56.753
I'm going to make a little pet out of this skirt. You know, like.
00:37:58.693 --> 00:38:00.613
But that definitely has to happen.
00:38:03.453 --> 00:38:07.553
All right. Who wants to go next? Forgot that I was muted.
00:38:08.913 --> 00:38:13.433
Sounds like you volunteered. Sounds like you volunteered. I was going to say
00:38:13.433 --> 00:38:15.773
that I can't wait to meet all the personalities.
00:38:16.313 --> 00:38:18.393
These characters. It's going to be great.
00:38:19.073 --> 00:38:21.353
I can't wait to hear all the voices for the characters.
00:38:23.673 --> 00:38:28.053
Still working on it. You don't have to. Voice work isn't required at all.
00:38:28.153 --> 00:38:31.953
I just know that Phoenix is working on a voice. Do you have a who you're talking to?
00:38:32.273 --> 00:38:34.673
I know my voice is going to upset Beltazar.
00:38:36.253 --> 00:38:37.213
Oh no!
00:38:41.013 --> 00:38:44.993
Okay, so. As long as it's done in front of it. Oh gosh.
00:38:44.993 --> 00:38:48.693
Um echo is from the garden what's the
00:38:48.693 --> 00:38:52.433
garden which is another realm it's kind
00:38:52.433 --> 00:38:56.593
of like the fey realm except that everything
00:38:56.593 --> 00:39:00.153
all the plants are literally alive like the
00:39:00.153 --> 00:39:04.253
blades of grass are all individual creatures and
00:39:04.253 --> 00:39:08.093
the trees and everything literally if it
00:39:08.093 --> 00:39:12.213
has life it is sentient so flowers
00:39:12.213 --> 00:39:16.293
and everything are completely alive for
00:39:16.293 --> 00:39:19.753
a specific reason that only one
00:39:19.753 --> 00:39:27.033
other person knows echo left that realm and came to this realm to find answers
00:39:27.033 --> 00:39:32.813
for mysteries oh hold on i actually specifically wrote a one-liner let's see
00:39:32.813 --> 00:39:37.993
in search of answers to magical mysteries of his realm Thank you.
00:39:39.401 --> 00:39:40.161
That's all y'all get.
00:39:42.621 --> 00:39:47.821
He's been asking lots of questions, but they're very vague to start until he
00:39:47.821 --> 00:39:49.201
thinks people might know something.
00:39:49.441 --> 00:39:55.621
And then he tries to find like their leader or of some sort or something to get more information.
00:39:56.281 --> 00:40:04.361
So, but yeah, so he, along with, I don't remember how to pronounce your character's name, Elimund?
00:40:04.761 --> 00:40:07.581
It's okay, it's so weird. It's like Elimd?
00:40:08.641 --> 00:40:15.101
Elimd. Got it. Elmd. I'm going to mess that one up so much. Elmd knows more information.
00:40:15.801 --> 00:40:24.061
But they came together to Lunestra to talk to the council for information for
00:40:24.061 --> 00:40:27.361
separate reasons, but they both need information.
00:40:28.621 --> 00:40:33.081
Yeah. They set off to see the wizard?
00:40:33.621 --> 00:40:38.141
Yes, we are off to see the wizard. So wonderful.
00:40:41.341 --> 00:40:46.661
There hasn't been off to be the wizard or often. There you go. You know what?
00:40:47.481 --> 00:40:50.701
Off with the wizard? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:40:53.421 --> 00:40:57.481
Canonically, we haven't we haven't placed a wizard on the council,
00:40:57.541 --> 00:40:59.261
but I think we've only filled,
00:41:00.421 --> 00:41:04.201
Four seats. So I'll leave that to you all.
00:41:05.301 --> 00:41:09.421
There are, there are, the council is full. However, we haven't actually talked
00:41:09.421 --> 00:41:12.701
about who is on it with the exception of four people.
00:41:13.561 --> 00:41:18.721
Understood. So if we want a wizard on there, we have to hear of someone first, you know.
00:41:20.841 --> 00:41:27.081
Or you could just say the one from this region is a wizard. You don't have to. It's so violent.
00:41:28.981 --> 00:41:33.581
What are you talking about? I thought we were making, you know,
00:41:33.701 --> 00:41:35.041
difficult choices. I'm kidding.
00:41:37.801 --> 00:41:42.541
Okay. The one question I had is, which I don't know if you know the answer to
00:41:42.541 --> 00:41:49.181
this yet, goes, where does my round bubble pop up that I came from? Where is it?
00:41:49.721 --> 00:41:52.401
On the map. Where did we come out at?
00:41:53.181 --> 00:42:03.821
It's up to you. So you gave me a list of, so you see it as shimmering things, importantly. Yes, I do.
00:42:04.521 --> 00:42:09.101
So were you, I know that you want to come down in a bubble, bro.
00:42:09.381 --> 00:42:14.061
But like Galinda, however. Galinda.
00:42:15.901 --> 00:42:16.521
Galinda.
00:42:19.241 --> 00:42:23.361
We have watched that movie several times, far too many.
00:42:24.181 --> 00:42:30.581
So I was leaving it to you. I know that you had locations that he is aware of.
00:42:31.141 --> 00:42:34.881
So you can tell me which of the locations you described.
00:42:35.641 --> 00:42:40.881
And once you tell me which one, I'll let you know where that is.
00:42:41.441 --> 00:42:48.261
Okay. Of course, Sage might already know where they want element to come from.
00:42:49.529 --> 00:42:51.489
I have a possible idea.
00:42:53.569 --> 00:43:00.329
So you came to this realm and then found Elamund.
00:43:00.689 --> 00:43:07.409
I was, when I came to this realm, it was in kind of Elamund's territory.
00:43:07.969 --> 00:43:11.589
Okay, so we'll leave it to say they can figure out where you are.
00:43:14.089 --> 00:43:25.429
Oh no. you gave me a list of of not npcs but descriptions of npcs that you encountered
00:43:25.429 --> 00:43:30.729
in in the different regions as you moved around so you weren't alone for any
00:43:30.729 --> 00:43:33.169
of that you and element element,
00:43:34.169 --> 00:43:38.169
worked am i saying that right element ella ella,
00:43:39.789 --> 00:43:43.909
element element just it's
00:43:43.909 --> 00:43:47.389
literally just element element element
00:43:47.389 --> 00:44:01.689
yes you've got it element element yes yes did else die no i shouldn't remember
00:44:01.689 --> 00:44:04.049
that i'm gonna remember it now too,
00:44:06.069 --> 00:44:13.009
Okay, I lost my question list. I'm so sorry, I can just hear Phoenix wheezing over there.
00:44:15.189 --> 00:44:18.709
So, Elendus waves echo the entire time.
00:44:19.129 --> 00:44:23.109
Okay, all right. And you didn't name any NPCs, you just described them.
00:44:23.229 --> 00:44:26.049
Did you want to flesh them out or did you want me to?
00:44:26.649 --> 00:44:29.549
I did name some of them.
00:44:30.318 --> 00:44:31.838
Did you tell me the names already?
00:44:35.078 --> 00:44:39.198
I would have to look back, but if I didn't, I can get you their names again.
00:44:39.338 --> 00:44:40.818
They're right in front of my face right now.
00:44:41.078 --> 00:44:43.258
But I did tell you that there were two.
00:44:43.658 --> 00:44:47.738
I was going to give you more details about their personality and stuff like that.
00:44:48.218 --> 00:44:50.238
Okay, go for it. But I did.
00:44:51.158 --> 00:44:52.998
There were two people that I
00:44:52.998 --> 00:44:56.218
hadn't done anything with. This is the other question I wanted to ask you.
00:44:56.338 --> 00:45:00.158
So thank goodness you brought this up. so I didn't
00:45:00.158 --> 00:45:03.078
write it down okay so I
00:45:03.078 --> 00:45:05.798
said I wanted to know a couple of other people and I don't know
00:45:05.798 --> 00:45:08.678
where I would have met them at because I don't know where these places are in
00:45:08.678 --> 00:45:11.578
your world one of them I would want it to be at some sort
00:45:11.578 --> 00:45:15.058
of library whatever library is like well
00:45:15.058 --> 00:45:18.318
known in the world where you
00:45:18.318 --> 00:45:21.658
go say hey where's the best library and 80%
00:45:21.658 --> 00:45:25.078
of people say the same place type thing you know like if there
00:45:25.078 --> 00:45:28.218
is a library like that that exists echo would
00:45:28.218 --> 00:45:31.358
have gone there and made
00:45:31.358 --> 00:45:34.238
an ally there of some sort that like works
00:45:34.238 --> 00:45:37.258
at the library or like someone that visited their lot
00:45:37.258 --> 00:45:41.438
or something like that all right so there are
00:45:41.438 --> 00:45:45.378
several possibles there's one
00:45:45.378 --> 00:45:48.798
that you wouldn't know of there's elven
00:45:48.798 --> 00:45:52.018
there's a big potential for so
00:45:52.018 --> 00:45:55.118
elthwin over here is the
00:45:55.118 --> 00:45:57.938
elvish domain i would
00:45:57.938 --> 00:46:00.938
say that's probably a great candidate to have a fantastic library
00:46:00.938 --> 00:46:06.358
we haven't done any fleshing out of this region at all no one has visited here
00:46:06.358 --> 00:46:11.298
or been from here or anything like that so you have free reign to build me a
00:46:11.298 --> 00:46:20.358
library or tell me what you want to the elves Do the elves like fairies and thungruels?
00:46:21.378 --> 00:46:26.978
I think you could probably establish that they would view you as...
00:46:27.578 --> 00:46:33.698
They would probably be the only beings that would know what you are.
00:46:34.958 --> 00:46:37.138
Maybe not elummed.
00:46:39.178 --> 00:46:44.358
Maybe not elummed, but definitely echo. Okay.
00:46:45.158 --> 00:46:52.418
Cool well then yes I would like to establish that library that'd be great I
00:46:52.418 --> 00:46:54.278
would love that yeah so the,
00:46:55.798 --> 00:47:04.278
capital is Thalindor but you can have it be in some place outside of that totally up to you okay,
00:47:05.118 --> 00:47:10.618
can you show me again please where on the map that is yeah so that would be
00:47:10.618 --> 00:47:16.618
here I can't zoom in unfortunately I think I'm maxed out on my zoomage right here. Gotcha.
00:47:17.178 --> 00:47:20.898
Okay. So there's like a floating, sort of a floating landmass here.
00:47:22.081 --> 00:47:29.381
And that's where their capital is. This whole region is elven territory.
00:47:29.741 --> 00:47:34.161
So this is just sort of where their capital is and probably some towns.
00:47:34.821 --> 00:47:38.101
Okay. So related to what we were talking about a second ago.
00:47:38.201 --> 00:47:39.721
So there's a library and then there was one more.
00:47:41.481 --> 00:47:51.421
Now, given that magic isn't like rampant in this world, there probably isn't an arcane academy.
00:47:52.081 --> 00:47:56.941
There would probably be arcane academies in both Thalondor and Lunasra.
00:47:57.061 --> 00:48:01.141
And so it's not very common amongst all of the people.
00:48:01.481 --> 00:48:06.221
However, there are practitioners of magic throughout the realm.
00:48:06.381 --> 00:48:10.881
But they're more like, maybe more wizardly, more scholarly, less raw,
00:48:11.561 --> 00:48:13.021
less sorcery type magic.
00:48:13.341 --> 00:48:17.121
More like, I studied real hard and figured this out kind of magic.
00:48:17.321 --> 00:48:21.701
So there would be academies in Lunasra and Thalondor specifically.
00:48:21.701 --> 00:48:25.701
But, you know, we could establish there even being some rogue academies out
00:48:25.701 --> 00:48:27.701
there that are maybe off the path.
00:48:28.221 --> 00:48:32.301
Totally up to you how you want to approach that or how you want that academy to be flavored.
00:48:32.881 --> 00:48:37.341
So I can create my own academy too. If you want to, yeah.
00:48:37.561 --> 00:48:43.041
So even imagining like up in Ragoes, I'm sure there's some sort of magic associated
00:48:43.041 --> 00:48:48.741
to like the wild spirit that they focus on in practice and just approach those magics differently.
00:48:49.561 --> 00:48:55.201
It's all about how you want that academy to be flavored okay and you said that
00:48:55.201 --> 00:48:59.961
that there would probably be one in that elven city where was the other second
00:48:59.961 --> 00:49:04.261
location you said there's probably one that you kind of already have oh so there
00:49:04.261 --> 00:49:08.081
and then lunas are where you where you're at okay gotcha gotcha gotcha yeah.
00:49:08.947 --> 00:49:12.207
Because actually, I think we established back in A Dance of Hidden Blaze.
00:49:12.407 --> 00:49:17.747
Do you remember, Goldie, the name of the academy? I have it written down.
00:49:18.007 --> 00:49:26.147
There is an academy in Lunestra that Cedric Weimar went to before he was brutally slain.
00:49:26.627 --> 00:49:29.607
Forgot about it. Either possibly. i wouldn't
00:49:29.607 --> 00:49:32.607
want to use if i if i
00:49:32.607 --> 00:49:36.007
did the he would probably try
00:49:36.007 --> 00:49:41.387
to talk to people in the academy and like any type of arcane academy or like
00:49:41.387 --> 00:49:46.467
big library anywhere that he went so he'll probably talk to the arcane academy
00:49:46.467 --> 00:49:53.407
in the library in the elven city as well and probably talked would have talked Sage's character,
00:49:53.907 --> 00:49:56.847
into going to Winesh's.
00:49:58.287 --> 00:50:02.647
Academy first before going to the council just to see what they could learn
00:50:02.647 --> 00:50:05.767
together before heading in. Oh yeah.
00:50:06.707 --> 00:50:10.727
Okay, cool. I have that written down and I'll send you that once I build with them.
00:50:11.627 --> 00:50:15.407
Alright, and if you don't want to just let me know what your thoughts are and
00:50:15.407 --> 00:50:18.367
I can put that together. I know that's a lot.
00:50:19.587 --> 00:50:22.207
Building building a library i mean
00:50:22.207 --> 00:50:26.707
just to finance it alone is ridiculous uh so yeah let me know what you want
00:50:26.707 --> 00:50:29.767
and then whatever you don't want to pick up i can definitely just take for me
00:50:29.767 --> 00:50:33.707
and roll with it i just want you all to have the opportunity to you know make
00:50:33.707 --> 00:50:40.987
those parts of the world your own if you choose to so gotcha all right so let's transition to element.
00:50:42.427 --> 00:50:51.747
I say it right? Yes. So Elund is a mushroom person with all these like red eyes
00:50:51.747 --> 00:50:54.267
all over his mushy white body.
00:50:54.587 --> 00:50:56.827
And I just misgendered them.
00:50:58.167 --> 00:51:01.027
Pronouns are they, them, but you know, we all make mistakes.
00:51:01.487 --> 00:51:08.347
So they kind of will, how do I say that?
00:51:08.347 --> 00:51:11.627
They found their
00:51:11.627 --> 00:51:15.147
way up to the surface
00:51:15.147 --> 00:51:19.707
from their underground society
00:51:19.707 --> 00:51:22.747
and i'll ask you ghost can
00:51:22.747 --> 00:51:26.127
you remind me of the area where the
00:51:26.127 --> 00:51:29.167
orcs inhabited yeah so
00:51:29.167 --> 00:51:32.927
it's it's this whole this whole region here around
00:51:32.927 --> 00:51:36.367
veltharos and i intentionally didn't
00:51:36.367 --> 00:51:39.107
put like actual like lines because i
00:51:39.107 --> 00:51:43.147
felt like who would have done that you know so mainly
00:51:43.147 --> 00:51:48.707
around these this this group of mountains over here they they pushed out into
00:51:48.707 --> 00:51:54.027
the world pretty far but the bulk of their kingdom was centered on the mountains
00:51:54.027 --> 00:52:00.087
here like this this was named after the fact but that whole culture has just
00:52:00.087 --> 00:52:03.087
been completely overwritten. One second.
00:52:04.567 --> 00:52:11.847
Okay, so what I'm thinking is that Elam'd kind of surfaced even farther north. Elam'd,
00:52:12.666 --> 00:52:16.506
is a creature like none other.
00:52:16.846 --> 00:52:24.206
I don't think really anyone in Erendor has experienced or met anyone like Elamd.
00:52:24.366 --> 00:52:31.226
They are very foreign, almost alien, even themselves to Erendor.
00:52:31.426 --> 00:52:35.126
They're very unfamiliar with seemingly everything.
00:52:35.746 --> 00:52:43.466
Gosh, I can't speak. If Echo is going to be around the same area as Ellumd kind of surfaces from,
00:52:43.706 --> 00:52:50.146
I would say it's still like north, but I'm thinking that Ellumd kind of traveled
00:52:50.146 --> 00:52:55.446
and they kind of ended up not like stumbling upon each other.
00:52:55.446 --> 00:53:03.846
But I imagine Echo was able to kind of target this specific area and meet Ellumd.
00:53:04.066 --> 00:53:08.966
And then they kind of joined and traveled and went through, you know,
00:53:09.066 --> 00:53:12.046
to the library or the academy or wherever else.
00:53:13.486 --> 00:53:17.306
And Ellumd is a little bit weird. It's just really weird.
00:53:17.966 --> 00:53:22.186
Ellumd is searching for answers. uh
00:53:22.186 --> 00:53:25.766
they don't know exactly where they're
00:53:25.766 --> 00:53:28.826
going to find what they're looking for but they know
00:53:28.826 --> 00:53:35.806
that they are searching for some mysterious magical knowledge that they are
00:53:35.806 --> 00:53:46.566
seeking out I don't you know I don't I don't I can't really say a lot.
00:53:48.046 --> 00:53:48.826
I got you.
00:53:49.066 --> 00:53:52.526
I like that you're all keeping it so close to the chest.
00:53:52.906 --> 00:53:56.786
I like that it's not a mystery for me.
00:53:57.186 --> 00:54:00.126
I do like that you're playing close to the chest. Yeah.
00:54:01.286 --> 00:54:06.966
All right. And you all are coming to Linastra for the same purpose that we're
00:54:06.966 --> 00:54:08.046
not going to totally reveal.
00:54:08.866 --> 00:54:13.126
Yes. anything else that you want to add as far as people that you may have encountered
00:54:13.126 --> 00:54:16.206
any connections you may have had i know that we've talked a little bit about
00:54:16.206 --> 00:54:21.106
it offline as far as connections are concerned but i don't and the main reason
00:54:21.106 --> 00:54:24.806
why is because i don't think that elmd.
00:54:26.426 --> 00:54:30.646
Appreciates any sort of connection with these
00:54:30.646 --> 00:54:33.786
sentient creatures and erendor they're all just
00:54:33.786 --> 00:54:37.286
in a way the same to them and so
00:54:37.286 --> 00:54:40.626
they none of them really stick out to elem's mind
00:54:40.626 --> 00:54:44.006
and frankly they even if they met for
00:54:44.006 --> 00:54:46.686
example the connections that echo is making they would
00:54:46.686 --> 00:54:51.746
likely not even remember them because they don't view it as important and like
00:54:51.746 --> 00:54:59.066
every being that elem encounters is just completely foreign to them as well
00:54:59.066 --> 00:55:04.546
right yeah right except for echo or possibly the rare few.
00:55:04.926 --> 00:55:09.386
For example, Ellumd would have some familiarity with,
00:55:10.136 --> 00:55:17.216
One second, I forgot your character's name. Would have some familiarity with Throg's species.
00:55:17.696 --> 00:55:23.596
But other than that, would not, would very, very, very, very ever recognize
00:55:23.596 --> 00:55:26.236
anything familiar in any of these creatures.
00:55:27.216 --> 00:55:32.636
Okay. Beautiful. And I love what you guys are revealing as well.
00:55:33.136 --> 00:55:35.216
Can't wait to explore that as we play.
00:55:35.896 --> 00:55:39.276
Last but not least, Helm. Helm. Helm.
00:55:39.456 --> 00:55:42.296
Helm. Helm, Helm, Helm, Helm, Helm?
00:55:42.316 --> 00:55:46.036
You know, I had it until I looked back and read and I saw Helm plus M,
00:55:46.236 --> 00:55:48.376
I was like, Helm, Helm, Helm.
00:55:51.036 --> 00:55:59.296
Yep. So I think Helm is a Slyburn Qatari, he's probably 510-ish,
00:55:59.696 --> 00:56:06.696
but very, I switch muscles, like many panthers might have out in the jungle.
00:56:06.696 --> 00:56:10.696
So his family is from Moonjaw Perch.
00:56:11.076 --> 00:56:12.896
They're a noble family. Excuse me.
00:56:13.396 --> 00:56:19.336
They're a noble family. Some who visit around council chambers might know how.
00:56:19.796 --> 00:56:22.736
The council members might know how. He's the vizier too.
00:56:22.996 --> 00:56:29.036
How do you say this person's name? Mar, M-A-R-E. Oh, yeah, Mar. Sorry, M-A-R-E. Yeah.
00:56:29.996 --> 00:56:37.596
He's pretty quiet. He keeps himself. But those outside of his job and his family
00:56:37.596 --> 00:56:45.476
know how he found to be very much a kind of charismatic and a little bit cocky kind of person.
00:56:45.716 --> 00:56:52.136
As most young nobles who don't think they're going to grow up to be noble at some point in time.
00:56:52.316 --> 00:56:56.316
You know, he's in human years probably between 18 and 22.
00:56:56.836 --> 00:57:03.456
So he's very much brash, but outside of work, inside of work,
00:57:03.536 --> 00:57:05.336
he takes it somewhat seriously.
00:57:06.496 --> 00:57:11.356
He's not relatively new to Linestra, but he left Moonjaw Birch because he was
00:57:11.356 --> 00:57:13.756
looking to get out from under the thumb of his family.
00:57:14.536 --> 00:57:18.216
Unfortunately, through rumors, I mean, some might have heard that he is the
00:57:18.216 --> 00:57:23.376
second sibling of somebody else. of moderate, at least what the rumors might
00:57:23.376 --> 00:57:26.536
say, moderate importance, particularly around the council chambers.
00:57:28.856 --> 00:57:33.276
And like all those of noble births, it's somewhat gone from,
00:57:33.516 --> 00:57:37.176
hey, you're going to go to the best schools like you and your sister are going
00:57:37.176 --> 00:57:42.676
to go to, where his sister was an outstanding student, Hal skipped school so
00:57:42.676 --> 00:57:45.696
he could go play in fence club, right?
00:57:45.736 --> 00:57:49.016
He wanted to go to fence club and learn how to fight and figure things out.
00:57:49.016 --> 00:57:54.256
I think he's come to L'Anestra to not necessarily fit in, but carve a way for himself.
00:57:55.274 --> 00:58:00.854
And if you know him outside of this job, you know very much that he wants to
00:58:00.854 --> 00:58:07.814
push himself to be more, at least seen as more, become some kind of hero of folklore or something.
00:58:07.914 --> 00:58:14.054
I think he has dreams of being something greater than he might want to be.
00:58:14.174 --> 00:58:18.794
And if that's something that Lunessa won't embrace him with,
00:58:18.894 --> 00:58:21.294
he's really probably just going to steal it.
00:58:21.974 --> 00:58:31.554
I like it. So part of Helm's position in Lunestra, so Mari is the council person
00:58:31.554 --> 00:58:33.894
that represents Rhaegos, right?
00:58:36.814 --> 00:58:43.094
I know I gave you a thing on it and I'm looking through your thing to find it.
00:58:43.774 --> 00:58:50.914
Ah, there it is. Okay. Yeah, Mari Bloodpelt is the council member representative to Rhaegos.
00:58:50.914 --> 00:58:59.714
And because you are in Lunestra and you are a noble, you sort of take up a position in their court.
00:59:00.734 --> 00:59:07.354
So you may not have like the fanciest of jobs at court, but you still have a position to be had.
00:59:07.514 --> 00:59:12.874
And as such, you would be familiar with, you know, the only orc that's ever
00:59:12.874 --> 00:59:18.794
known to be on the council. You have probably heard rumors or seen him on duty
00:59:18.794 --> 00:59:20.834
and heard the whispers and all this other stuff.
00:59:20.914 --> 00:59:23.854
So you definitely have some knowledge of Throg.
00:59:24.214 --> 00:59:29.614
And you can discuss with Oleg if you have ever heard of Oleg.
00:59:29.754 --> 00:59:36.614
Like if has his bad soldiering gotten to the point where he now has a reputation
00:59:36.614 --> 00:59:37.994
that you have taken note of.
00:59:38.714 --> 00:59:43.374
So I will absolutely leave that up to you. We did quite a bit of world building.
00:59:43.374 --> 00:59:47.374
We built the actual place where you're
00:59:47.374 --> 00:59:51.834
from which is actually I think the largest settlement in Regos currently it's
00:59:51.834 --> 00:59:55.334
like the capital of Regos we hadn't had that previously and we also established
00:59:55.334 --> 01:00:01.474
a new lesser god as well the god of the hunt which is fun because we needed
01:00:01.474 --> 01:00:07.094
more of those I think from answering that question maybe if Oleg was so kind to,
01:00:07.694 --> 01:00:11.894
think about anybody who's done anything underhanded or.
01:00:12.794 --> 01:00:15.914
Underworldly Hal takes very keen interest
01:00:15.914 --> 01:00:20.194
in And so if he's some kind of a bad soldiering
01:00:20.194 --> 01:00:27.494
I think maybe at one point in time They might have met or he might have seen
01:00:27.494 --> 01:00:33.394
Hal Creeping around the spires of the city As he may spend time outdoors But
01:00:33.394 --> 01:00:38.774
Hal certainly spends time out at night Despite what his day job might be,
01:00:39.637 --> 01:00:44.737
But yeah, Oleg is definitely the kind of person who is going to be shirking
01:00:44.737 --> 01:00:48.917
his duties to go out and explore and get into trouble.
01:00:49.417 --> 01:00:53.337
In fact, in part of his backstory, I think there was an NPC we made who,
01:00:53.917 --> 01:00:58.297
I think the exact words were Oleg likes to have her get them out of trouble together.
01:00:58.997 --> 01:01:03.837
So that could definitely be switched to a noble with the right connections.
01:01:04.997 --> 01:01:10.377
If that's what you're going for. Yeah, that sounds good. That would be so cool.
01:01:10.917 --> 01:01:12.837
I'm like, how did Goldie get sideways?
01:01:14.117 --> 01:01:20.697
I don't know what my camera is doing right now. I mean, it's a flying monkey.
01:01:20.917 --> 01:01:23.677
So he's just saying that. Yeah.
01:01:25.357 --> 01:01:27.917
We're having our first. It's what my character would do moment.
01:01:28.137 --> 01:01:30.417
Awesome. Or a flying monkey.
01:01:33.397 --> 01:01:37.297
Such a good interpretation. Spot on. Beautiful.
01:01:38.377 --> 01:01:43.857
I'll start doing it in a moment. What's next? You mean Crouching Panther? Blind Monkey?
01:01:45.177 --> 01:01:49.097
Nice. Nice. How? That was a joke I was going for.
01:01:50.177 --> 01:01:53.717
Yes. What do you mean by Underworldly?
01:01:54.837 --> 01:01:58.517
Underworldly. Like, I'll spend time in Fence Club.
01:01:58.777 --> 01:02:05.857
The first rule of Fence Club? The secret underbelly of every society you gotcha. Okay.
01:02:06.377 --> 01:02:12.257
I understand. I was just like, not literally underground, how do you go over the world?
01:02:12.777 --> 01:02:18.817
How do you go too far under the world? You're on top of the world again.
01:02:19.477 --> 01:02:26.117
Like that's where I was trying to go on top of the world. Indeed.
01:02:29.011 --> 01:02:32.171
We got something in common then, huh? All right.
01:02:32.251 --> 01:02:34.691
So any other, any, now that you've heard everyone's backstories,
01:02:34.811 --> 01:02:39.151
is there any like other sort of natural threads that you want to pull on to
01:02:39.151 --> 01:02:43.371
say, hey, maybe there was some, something that I've encountered or someone I've
01:02:43.371 --> 01:02:45.951
heard of or a common something.
01:02:46.131 --> 01:02:49.731
Now we, we haven't established how long you've each been in Lunaster.
01:02:49.791 --> 01:02:54.951
I know for Oleg and Dar, we kind of talked more about like months since the
01:02:54.951 --> 01:02:58.791
inciting incident. And but for everyone else, like how long you've been in Lunestra
01:02:58.791 --> 01:03:01.591
searching for whatever, we haven't really established that.
01:03:01.711 --> 01:03:06.071
So this would be if you want to sort of talk it out, see what maybe connections
01:03:06.071 --> 01:03:09.291
you may have for one another. This would be a great time to do it.
01:03:10.071 --> 01:03:15.311
I think there's a map in the map. But in like just in Discord,
01:03:15.531 --> 01:03:17.631
can you just like put it there so I could see all of it?
01:03:18.291 --> 01:03:20.531
Like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I can do that.
01:03:21.291 --> 01:03:27.351
Well, if so, I might know what questions to ask. Yeah, I think there's specific
01:03:27.351 --> 01:03:31.511
things in Daggerheart, at least on the Demi plane integration of connections, right?
01:03:32.111 --> 01:03:35.671
There are like three questions that say, hey, what did I recently convince you
01:03:35.671 --> 01:03:36.711
to do that got us in trouble?
01:03:37.091 --> 01:03:43.671
Right? I would probably ask Throg that since I've seen him around the council
01:03:43.671 --> 01:03:45.091
chamber at some point in time.
01:03:45.431 --> 01:03:48.071
Are we going to do that here? We want to do that out? Yeah, no,
01:03:48.131 --> 01:03:53.911
by all means, please do divvy out your questions to whomever you, you deem fit.
01:03:54.011 --> 01:03:57.471
Some of you are more natural than others, like Echo and Almond.
01:04:00.151 --> 01:04:07.591
Do you want to just answer now? Which question was it for me? It was.
01:04:08.991 --> 01:04:11.331
No. It was. Yes.
01:04:14.031 --> 01:04:14.511
Yes.
01:04:19.231 --> 01:04:20.531
What have I done recently to get you out of.
01:04:28.171 --> 01:04:29.431
Hell would you like to go.
01:04:34.091 --> 01:04:39.151
Sure all right Throg since I've seen you around the council chamber and I'm
01:04:39.151 --> 01:04:45.751
relatively new and you might be relatively new but But what did I recently convince
01:04:45.751 --> 01:04:48.751
you to do that got us both in trouble?
01:04:49.711 --> 01:04:55.591
Probably, you probably needed an escort into one of your sorays to the underground.
01:04:57.451 --> 01:05:01.511
And not like the dwarves and the gnomes, but like, you know,
01:05:01.591 --> 01:05:04.931
the criminal organizations, just to clarify for some people.
01:05:04.931 --> 01:05:09.971
But he probably got me to escort you there, and all I knew was it was just like,
01:05:10.171 --> 01:05:15.191
okay, this is a council member who needs, or this is a noble who needs an escort.
01:05:15.491 --> 01:05:18.231
This is what I'm supposed to be doing here. Yeah.
01:05:19.176 --> 01:05:26.016
It and you know hilarity ensued escort mission into like uh some yeah perhaps
01:05:26.016 --> 01:05:32.356
that was uh i was new to this place and i'm all right you being a guardian i
01:05:32.356 --> 01:05:33.356
probably would have asked,
01:05:35.036 --> 01:05:39.296
rog after one of the meetings as they were walking out he's like hey i'm new
01:05:39.296 --> 01:05:44.636
here i don't know my way around can you perhaps like take me you know underground
01:05:44.636 --> 01:05:47.156
you know what i mean wink wink nudge.
01:05:49.676 --> 01:05:55.176
So Helm knew what he was asking for when he asked Tharag to take him someplace.
01:05:55.936 --> 01:05:58.416
Yeah. Hey, do you know where the crime place is?
01:05:59.276 --> 01:06:01.536
Can you take me to the crime?
01:06:03.816 --> 01:06:04.776
There's the veils.
01:06:07.576 --> 01:06:11.916
All right, cool. Anyone else have any... If you look at Demiplanet does have
01:06:11.916 --> 01:06:15.196
questions for developing your characters towards... Is it journal?
01:06:15.396 --> 01:06:18.936
Is that what it's under? Or is that that's the other part? I think it's under
01:06:18.936 --> 01:06:21.376
details. Details tab. Yeah, details.
01:06:22.756 --> 01:06:26.396
So I'm assuming that all of our characters know each other at the start.
01:06:26.696 --> 01:06:32.016
But if I were to ask the question so that it might make more sense later,
01:06:32.676 --> 01:06:38.956
I'd like to ask Elend why they ask Oleg so many questions about their God.
01:06:42.216 --> 01:06:45.916
I think that the entire aspect of
01:06:45.916 --> 01:06:50.396
i think that erin door's concept of
01:06:50.396 --> 01:07:05.496
the gods themselves is foreign to elm their home is rooted much more in you
01:07:05.496 --> 01:07:08.536
know very very very very old history
01:07:08.956 --> 01:07:11.236
And Elmd is very old.
01:07:11.616 --> 01:07:19.296
So their understanding of celestial beings and the gods, and even that,
01:07:19.376 --> 01:07:21.776
I forgot his name. I don't know how to say his name.
01:07:22.676 --> 01:07:26.656
Nixera, how do you say his name? Yep, Nixera. Nixera. Nixera.
01:07:27.616 --> 01:07:31.256
I think that their understanding is just very different.
01:07:33.316 --> 01:07:39.996
Okay. Now, what would Elamd's knowledge of the gods be?
01:07:40.216 --> 01:07:47.476
If Elamd and their people are so long-lived and so old, they probably wouldn't
01:07:47.476 --> 01:07:48.896
know many of the lesser gods.
01:07:49.076 --> 01:07:56.256
Would you say that Elamd knows the general greater pantheon or maybe just that
01:07:56.256 --> 01:07:59.436
one god above all that we haven't talked too much about?
01:08:00.064 --> 01:08:04.184
I always know when Teja's taking notes. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I know.
01:08:04.344 --> 01:08:08.304
I type 100 words a minute. So I keep muting myself.
01:08:08.524 --> 01:08:10.664
I'm like, okay, no typing ASMR.
01:08:11.744 --> 01:08:20.904
I think that Ellen is, of course, aware of the kind of original pantheon of Erendor,
01:08:21.184 --> 01:08:28.384
as well as that big overreaching god, as well as some of the history of the shattered god.
01:08:28.384 --> 01:08:33.724
But I think that their knowledge is much more, frankly, historically accurate.
01:08:33.724 --> 01:08:40.364
But at the same time, I think it's distorted in a way because Elam's home is
01:08:40.364 --> 01:08:42.824
so extremely different from Erendor.
01:08:42.824 --> 01:08:50.144
And I also think that Elimd, in a similar way as the Echoes Garden,
01:08:50.784 --> 01:09:01.724
kind of views the gods as interactive in the way of like they have existed and
01:09:01.724 --> 01:09:06.564
still in some way remain in the very structure of the earth.
01:09:06.564 --> 01:09:14.084
Like they, whereas Erendor may consider gods to be lost and unfamiliar and,
01:09:14.084 --> 01:09:21.464
you know, detached now from Erendor, I feel like Elimd is, of course, aware of their absence,
01:09:21.824 --> 01:09:29.484
but still in their mind feels very much so their kind of living history as a
01:09:29.484 --> 01:09:33.504
presence in the nature and the earth around them.
01:09:34.644 --> 01:09:40.484
It's hard to ask questions that won't reveal more but i get what you're saying
01:09:40.484 --> 01:09:43.804
and i have additional questions for you that i'll just talk to you in our three
01:09:43.804 --> 01:09:50.024
yeah yeah yeah all right cool anyone else i was still kind of waiting for the
01:09:50.024 --> 01:09:53.304
map so i could see oh yeah sorry it's okay,
01:09:54.104 --> 01:09:58.964
so i could remember all the places that echo went all those sides you know where
01:09:58.964 --> 01:10:02.604
deity talk You know where you could go? Yeah.
01:10:04.089 --> 01:10:07.289
Could go to ghostlightxc.com where we have fantastic merch options if you'd
01:10:07.289 --> 01:10:08.749
like to support the stream you can do it there.
01:10:09.269 --> 01:10:13.649
Buy a t-shirt you can see all of the updated streams what's coming on you can
01:10:13.649 --> 01:10:19.569
also click on the Erendor tab find a map and maybe even some profiles of previous
01:10:19.569 --> 01:10:23.049
characters that some of you may or may not have created.
01:10:23.889 --> 01:10:26.809
That was smooth. Yeah synergy.
01:10:27.829 --> 01:10:30.989
It's beautifully crafted there but yes
01:10:30.989 --> 01:10:34.129
the deity thing I had mentioned in like
01:10:34.129 --> 01:10:37.989
the essay of text that i sent you how
01:10:37.989 --> 01:10:42.129
i thought it might be neat to have two
01:10:42.129 --> 01:10:45.369
deities in the
01:10:45.369 --> 01:10:49.129
garden that like work together like
01:10:49.129 --> 01:10:52.489
and they just kind of like do everything together
01:10:52.489 --> 01:10:55.549
or whatnot i haven't really thought that much about them
01:10:55.549 --> 01:10:58.469
but i feel like echo's connection to
01:10:58.469 --> 01:11:02.009
them is like hey these two beings
01:11:02.009 --> 01:11:05.129
make this place like
01:11:05.129 --> 01:11:12.629
possible and run and has cool stuff and like probably doesn't worship them in
01:11:12.629 --> 01:11:19.689
any way but appreciates them and respects them you know to the most like the
01:11:19.689 --> 01:11:23.929
highest you know yeah so the the realm that we're talking about,
01:11:24.489 --> 01:11:27.689
is something that was do you want to reveal like or do
01:11:27.689 --> 01:11:30.529
you want to keep that close to the chest too as far as that no i
01:11:30.529 --> 01:11:33.669
mean i don't know exactly what you're talking about do i want to reveal but the
01:11:33.669 --> 01:11:36.489
realm is is separate it is completely
01:11:36.489 --> 01:11:41.009
separate and yeah sort of okay so there's there are gods that are associated
01:11:41.009 --> 01:11:45.609
with the realm it's creation but as far as the management and what's the powers
01:11:45.609 --> 01:11:49.169
that are acting upon that realm that's something that we have or we're going
01:11:49.169 --> 01:11:54.069
to establish we can establish um so coming up with some i would we're playing
01:11:54.069 --> 01:11:55.529
it really fast and loose with the.
01:11:57.409 --> 01:12:00.189
Arch fey lesser gods kind of
01:12:00.189 --> 01:12:04.189
themes so if you want to come up with some lesser gods for the realm that you
01:12:04.189 --> 01:12:08.789
worship that that have some synergy and sort of play off one another similarly
01:12:08.789 --> 01:12:14.969
to did we reveal oh we didn't reveal oleg's gods right uh we didn't say so yeah
01:12:14.969 --> 01:12:17.909
i'm not trying to behind them. It's just Edward to come up in conversation.
01:12:18.509 --> 01:12:22.369
Okay, so there's two there are two gods. There's Lua and Solaris,
01:12:22.709 --> 01:12:25.109
the moon and the sun. They complement one another.
01:12:26.169 --> 01:12:32.769
So only the one has domain over the clade, right? Only Lua? Yeah, that was Lua's.
01:12:33.329 --> 01:12:39.789
Okay. So there are similarly fashioned lesser gods that work in similar ways.
01:12:39.969 --> 01:12:44.209
So you can come up with some for your realm and just let me know what they are the lesser god of.
01:12:45.346 --> 01:12:48.666
Cool yeah and echo does have particular
01:12:48.666 --> 01:12:52.106
followers of certain gods that echo
01:12:52.106 --> 01:12:54.986
is keeping like he's ever since he got here like
01:12:54.986 --> 01:13:01.626
in one of his book journeys in some library learned about the gods of this realm
01:13:01.626 --> 01:13:09.386
because before that he had no idea none so but yeah so like anything that has
01:13:09.386 --> 01:13:13.646
to do Because y'all know that there's magical, you know, mysteries.
01:13:14.146 --> 01:13:17.746
I did mention that about the garden that are happening right now.
01:13:17.906 --> 01:13:25.446
So anything that's magic related or nature related, like any of those deities and knowledge.
01:13:25.726 --> 01:13:28.746
So nature, arcana and knowledge, those
01:13:28.746 --> 01:13:31.706
are the three deities that Echo is the most
01:13:31.706 --> 01:13:38.446
interested in learning about because they seem the most connected to what is
01:13:38.446 --> 01:13:43.246
going on in his realm you know we're a great place to learn about that would
01:13:43.246 --> 01:13:50.286
be please do tell me ghostletxc.com no i'm just joking uh lunestra.
01:13:53.706 --> 01:14:00.826
Well eventually yeah that's that's the last that's the most recent journey there
01:14:00.826 --> 01:14:05.766
yeah But yeah, now that I have the map on ghostly.xc.com,
01:14:05.906 --> 01:14:11.066
I'm going to go ahead and look at it and decide who I might have a question
01:14:11.066 --> 01:14:13.326
for once I get to that. Okay. Yeah, yeah.
01:14:15.186 --> 01:14:19.926
All right, let's go to Dar. Does Dar have any questions, Toleran?
01:14:20.246 --> 01:14:21.906
Well, there's only two that really...
01:14:22.930 --> 01:14:26.230
Can apply one of them is why do
01:14:26.230 --> 01:14:29.070
you trust me so deeply the other one is what did I do that makes
01:14:29.070 --> 01:14:31.870
you so cautious around me like who I would have
01:14:31.870 --> 01:14:35.170
come in contact with or well it
01:14:35.170 --> 01:14:40.430
feels like the most natural the most natural group for you to fall in with would
01:14:40.430 --> 01:14:47.730
be element and echo because they have been travelers more than any of the other
01:14:47.730 --> 01:14:52.250
like the other three seem to be pretty much stationed in Lunestra already.
01:14:52.690 --> 01:14:59.750
So they are also journeying to Lunestra. So it seems to me that would be a connection.
01:15:00.150 --> 01:15:01.150
Is everyone open to that?
01:15:02.570 --> 01:15:09.270
Yeah, I was kind of thinking that maybe we ran across Oleg whenever...
01:15:10.150 --> 01:15:12.910
I don't know if I can say that correctly. Maybe a... Wow.
01:15:13.690 --> 01:15:17.250
Like most recently. And then they're like, oh, well, you should go to Lunestra.
01:15:17.370 --> 01:15:20.550
That's where I'm going. And then we're like, oh, okay. Well, we'll go there.
01:15:21.430 --> 01:15:23.330
We're off to see the wizard.
01:15:24.690 --> 01:15:32.550
I've got another party member on Dhar's journey down the green and brown earth.
01:15:33.930 --> 01:15:39.230
Dhar and Oleg are coming from the same place. Yes. But Oleg is there.
01:15:39.930 --> 01:15:45.690
Dhar took some slightly other route.
01:15:46.010 --> 01:15:49.490
Could be a roundabout way of getting there. Where is True Vale?
01:15:49.930 --> 01:15:56.050
I mean, I'd say they probably actually met up like a little bit between True
01:15:56.050 --> 01:16:02.450
Vale and Lunestra, maybe more towards like the mountains of Valthyros, maybe.
01:16:02.950 --> 01:16:07.070
All right. So if it's the two of you, then I will say...
01:16:08.510 --> 01:16:15.690
Echo, what did I do that makes you cautious around me? echo would say that he
01:16:15.690 --> 01:16:22.910
is cautious of every being on this realm in existence over here,
01:16:24.065 --> 01:16:27.565
Nothing you did. Literally everybody.
01:16:28.605 --> 01:16:34.065
I really like this connection too because you wouldn't necessarily be like judging
01:16:34.065 --> 01:16:38.765
him for the fact that he's a walking, talking scarecrow.
01:16:39.485 --> 01:16:42.325
Elm wouldn't know that that's not a normal thing in the area.
01:16:42.645 --> 01:16:49.025
Echo may have a sense of it maybe, but like just another weird being that we encountered, right?
01:16:49.685 --> 01:16:57.245
Yeah. I mean, I know all sorts of weird beings that are weird to, you know, this realm.
01:16:57.525 --> 01:17:03.345
And a lot of this realm is weird to me in general. It's just another being in this realm.
01:17:05.065 --> 01:17:07.665
So, yeah, that's what you would get.
01:17:09.865 --> 01:17:13.485
And Elund, why do you trust me so deeply?
01:17:18.805 --> 01:17:21.925
It's canon now fuck no,
01:17:24.805 --> 01:17:27.885
um I don't,
01:17:28.545 --> 01:17:31.665
I wouldn't say it is a trust but
01:17:31.665 --> 01:17:34.465
I think that I think
01:17:34.465 --> 01:17:37.525
that Elamd would feel like
01:17:37.525 --> 01:17:40.285
a sense of just like
01:17:40.285 --> 01:17:43.305
almost a mutual understanding just because of
01:17:43.305 --> 01:17:46.225
the way that people kind of like
01:17:46.225 --> 01:17:49.705
treat dar and the way that they kind of like look
01:17:49.705 --> 01:17:55.265
at him because he's this scarecrow and they're like what the fuck because you
01:17:55.265 --> 01:18:01.145
know people look at elmd like that like like he is like they are really foreign
01:18:01.145 --> 01:18:06.505
to erindor but it's like the way that they're treated because of that.
01:18:08.705 --> 01:18:15.445
I have a question for you, Dar. I'm trying to start with one to ask.
01:18:17.685 --> 01:18:23.085
Okay, what hobby or strange fascination do the two of us share?
01:18:23.545 --> 01:18:26.325
Maybe learning to sew.
01:18:28.505 --> 01:18:33.665
Learning to sew. Okay. One's more practical than the other.
01:18:35.685 --> 01:18:39.165
This is actually hilarious because Elamd, like,
01:18:39.963 --> 01:18:47.003
dude's a mushroom like what what purpose does do they have in sewing like nothing
01:18:47.003 --> 01:18:54.823
it's just a random thing well yeah you want to decorate your wheelbarrow you're yeah right.
01:18:56.683 --> 01:19:00.983
You probably also don't find too many clothes that fit you yeah that's true true.
01:19:01.863 --> 01:19:04.863
You read what you sew. Very nice.
01:19:06.563 --> 01:19:16.083
Because, yeah, jars robes. Well, like very old and falling apart are have been
01:19:16.083 --> 01:19:19.943
like, have patches all over them of like all different fabrics.
01:19:20.283 --> 01:19:25.883
And it seems like over ages to like it's sort of some really old ones that are
01:19:25.883 --> 01:19:30.243
stitched on to repair it and And then newer ones that even cover up some of those a bit.
01:19:30.383 --> 01:19:35.383
And they just have a lot of like random fabric stitch on to kind of repair all their clothing.
01:19:36.103 --> 01:19:40.363
I actually love this because I just thought where Elend came from,
01:19:40.523 --> 01:19:42.883
clothes probably were not even a necessity.
01:19:43.263 --> 01:19:47.783
So I feel like Echo is used to that. But Elmd, like, kind of,
01:19:47.883 --> 01:19:53.503
like, met Dar, and Dar, you know, has, you know, this whole, like,
01:19:54.163 --> 01:19:58.683
you know, kind of, like, you know, the stitched together kind of aesthetic in
01:19:58.683 --> 01:20:02.963
Elmd, you know, they, you know, I feel like Elmd was just, like, ah.
01:20:03.583 --> 01:20:06.163
I mean, that kind of brain leaves. Yeah.
01:20:09.623 --> 01:20:14.063
Hopefully no one tries to make penicillin out of Elmd. No.
01:20:16.263 --> 01:20:20.603
We're not that advanced yet i guess i don't know we do magic but not medicine i don't know,
01:20:21.883 --> 01:20:26.923
this is all this fantastic you all great great work and does anyone else have
01:20:26.923 --> 01:20:31.563
any other connections they want to talk about actually i have one for.
01:20:33.163 --> 01:20:38.703
Halam but i'm going to be different about this pick a number one through three,
01:20:40.036 --> 01:20:44.836
Number one. Okay. Cause he's number one, obviously. Yeah.
01:20:45.836 --> 01:20:48.816
Obviously. So how did I save your life first time we met?
01:20:49.476 --> 01:20:55.936
I was breaking into the main council members chambers to pick his seal so I
01:20:55.936 --> 01:21:02.116
could seal his diploma that he never graduated with and so that his family doesn't know about.
01:21:02.216 --> 01:21:09.596
And so I went in there to feel something, uh, the signet to seal his diploma.
01:21:09.596 --> 01:21:12.276
So he can make sure to give it to his parents and say, see, I graduated,
01:21:12.616 --> 01:21:13.936
but I'll never went to school.
01:21:14.276 --> 01:21:18.636
So I think after you had escorted me in and we got busted,
01:21:19.016 --> 01:21:23.676
and maybe you kept an eye on me, and then I was making my way in the middle
01:21:23.676 --> 01:21:28.776
of the night to go in to still take something, and perhaps there was another
01:21:28.776 --> 01:21:31.156
person in there that wasn't supposed to be in there,
01:21:31.516 --> 01:21:36.416
and I was overmatched, and you had followed me or kept an eye on me,
01:21:36.516 --> 01:21:39.056
and that person was going to,
01:21:39.596 --> 01:21:44.596
either turn me in or take my life and you doing what you do,
01:21:44.856 --> 01:21:51.016
you were, you guarded me, you were a guardian of me that night and you fought
01:21:51.016 --> 01:21:53.396
off that person and I was injured,
01:21:54.176 --> 01:21:56.056
bravely injured and you nursed me back to health.
01:21:56.496 --> 01:22:00.556
Ghost, do all of us have three different questions and connections?
01:22:02.256 --> 01:22:05.256
I have to ask them then.
01:22:07.456 --> 01:22:11.096
I mean, these are hilarious questions.
01:22:12.176 --> 01:22:22.816
Okay, so the first one is obviously for Ellen, because it couldn't be for anybody else. Oh no.
01:22:25.676 --> 01:22:29.256
What affectionate nickname have you given me?
01:22:31.636 --> 01:22:37.436
Okay wait wait i gotta think about this is echo your real name.
01:22:43.196 --> 01:22:46.256
Yes gosh this is a good one okay hold on,
01:22:49.216 --> 01:22:52.336
hold on i'm trying to think tinkerbell.
01:22:54.556 --> 01:22:55.156
Wait,
01:22:56.141 --> 01:23:02.961
Wait, I need to get fairy wings. Oh, okay. I would say moss.
01:23:02.961 --> 01:23:03.801
I have some you can borrow.
01:23:05.181 --> 01:23:11.781
And yes, so the reason why I'm going to say moss is because you know exactly,
01:23:11.801 --> 01:23:17.941
you know, kind of, you know, Ellen's entire, like, living situation and their home.
01:23:18.781 --> 01:23:23.381
And in their home, right, you know, first of all, moss grows everywhere.
01:23:23.381 --> 01:23:26.421
Even when you don't want it to
01:23:26.421 --> 01:23:30.081
and it's also like
01:23:30.081 --> 01:23:33.341
you know natural in nature and
01:23:33.341 --> 01:23:36.661
yeah like there's this like pretty natural you
01:23:36.661 --> 01:23:39.661
know earthen aspect to it but
01:23:39.661 --> 01:23:42.461
it's also you know it's affectionate there's
01:23:42.461 --> 01:23:45.501
also like kind of sarcastic in a way you know
01:23:45.501 --> 01:23:48.441
because i have this kind of like rivalry going on
01:23:48.441 --> 01:23:51.381
almost you know and so i
01:23:51.381 --> 01:23:54.601
am i imagine like that's
01:23:54.601 --> 01:23:57.661
what elm elm has like started calling echo
01:23:57.661 --> 01:24:00.521
like you you
01:24:00.521 --> 01:24:03.421
pop up me but i don't have to like it
01:24:03.421 --> 01:24:06.141
yeah you grew on me and you
01:24:06.141 --> 01:24:22.161
pop up wherever i don't want you to oh i love it what up moss that's so good
01:24:22.161 --> 01:24:23.941
question is gonna go to dar.
01:24:25.621 --> 01:24:36.181
Okay what what animal do i say you remind me of maybe like because their movement
01:24:36.181 --> 01:24:40.181
is a little awkward and lanky and wonky.
01:24:40.521 --> 01:24:44.261
Maybe like a bug with really long legs.
01:24:44.401 --> 01:24:50.481
I don't know if those stick bugs or whatever move a little awkwardly and,
01:24:51.613 --> 01:24:56.073
He's also made of sticks as well, so it kind of reminds you of like a stick bug.
01:24:57.093 --> 01:24:59.673
Nice. I love it.
01:25:02.093 --> 01:25:05.693
I think the only other person that I would have even come into contact with
01:25:05.693 --> 01:25:07.353
would have been Oleg, right?
01:25:07.813 --> 01:25:11.813
The others I wouldn't have had a chance to meet anywhere, right?
01:25:12.533 --> 01:25:18.633
It all depends on where we say we're starting. You can be entering the city
01:25:18.633 --> 01:25:22.713
or you may have already entered the city and are on your way to court.
01:25:23.153 --> 01:25:28.853
So you can even say you've encountered people from the front gate to maybe you've
01:25:28.853 --> 01:25:33.133
been in Lunestra for a night or so and you've you're waiting for the right time
01:25:33.133 --> 01:25:35.293
to meet the council. It's completely up to you.
01:25:35.593 --> 01:25:40.233
Because I talked Elam into us checking out the library there first.
01:25:41.173 --> 01:25:45.433
Is there anyone that would have spent a decent amount of time in or around the library?
01:25:45.893 --> 01:25:49.973
Or like the Arte and Academy library thing he did there. Anybody?
01:25:52.153 --> 01:25:59.713
Definitely not Helm. Oleg could have been sent some form of menial task by one
01:25:59.713 --> 01:26:03.413
of the knights to be there, but if someone else wants it, they can take it.
01:26:05.013 --> 01:26:08.073
Oleg was sent there to dust the bookshelves. Yeah.
01:26:08.913 --> 01:26:15.453
Well, one thing is that, so we've established that the knights of Oleg's order have taken up in
01:26:15.893 --> 01:26:18.953
in like an older building that's no longer utilized for
01:26:18.953 --> 01:26:21.653
anything it was an old chapel i think we said there's some sort of
01:26:21.653 --> 01:26:24.473
a holy house that they're sort of just taking
01:26:24.473 --> 01:26:28.533
a residence and maybe believing it was something more than it was you've stumbled
01:26:28.533 --> 01:26:35.893
in there maybe oleg was mopping floors and and the uh i'd go in there thinking
01:26:35.893 --> 01:26:39.013
it was some sort of temple to some god and out because there's those few gods
01:26:39.013 --> 01:26:44.233
that i'm keeping an eye out for and maybe i thought it was one of those did we say did we say who,
01:26:44.653 --> 01:26:46.593
what the temple was before it was abandoned?
01:26:47.445 --> 01:26:52.585
I think we were trying to leave some things vague for other players to have to.
01:26:53.845 --> 01:27:01.665
So we could say that it was a temple to one of the gods that you're interested in learning about.
01:27:02.385 --> 01:27:06.885
Okay, so that would be either, I don't know how to pronounce these gods' names,
01:27:07.125 --> 01:27:09.685
so the Arcana one, the Knowledge one, or the Nature ones.
01:27:10.105 --> 01:27:12.125
Yep. So one of those.
01:27:12.925 --> 01:27:17.925
Probably something like that. Maybe we could even say knowledge so kiloris okay
01:27:17.925 --> 01:27:24.205
would you could easily mistake kiloris to kiloris clorician i don't know temple
01:27:24.205 --> 01:27:32.125
as a uh a library maybe maybe totally could have okay so.
01:27:33.485 --> 01:27:38.165
So i probably would have talked a little bit you know here and there once i
01:27:38.165 --> 01:27:45.945
made the silly like foible of thinking that that was the library or whatnot Okay,
01:27:46.105 --> 01:27:48.745
oh no, where is my thing? Okay, so the question.
01:27:49.465 --> 01:27:55.685
What did you confide in me that makes me leap into danger for you every time?
01:27:58.565 --> 01:27:59.665
That's a good one.
01:28:02.125 --> 01:28:07.585
That despite looking like a scary, or what might be considered a scary night,
01:28:08.085 --> 01:28:13.205
you would much rather not be doing nightly duties and skipping rocks across the river.
01:28:14.365 --> 01:28:18.105
Okay. I don't want to take too much time. I just have one question for Echo.
01:28:19.705 --> 01:28:24.265
What favor have I asked of you that you're not sure you can fulfill?
01:28:24.625 --> 01:28:28.405
I mean, I might need to message this to you personally. Yeah, yeah.
01:28:28.725 --> 01:28:32.485
That's okay, too. That's okay, too. Because we haven't revealed a lot of the
01:28:32.485 --> 01:28:34.445
stuff that we already know about each other.
01:28:34.825 --> 01:28:41.005
I get you. I get you. so it's related to that but it's a thing about oh maybe
01:28:41.005 --> 01:28:47.445
I can be super vague and you'll get it and if you don't I'll message you so to,
01:28:48.605 --> 01:28:55.205
offer a place where it is wanted that's all I got unless you want me to message
01:28:55.205 --> 01:29:00.585
you yeah message me but I think I got it I will message you,
01:29:01.805 --> 01:29:08.425
cool cool cool everybody else there you go Anybody else have any questions for Connections?
01:29:09.165 --> 01:29:13.745
I'm going to send them the direct message. Okay.
01:29:16.725 --> 01:29:19.965
Outstanding. We've been at it for a couple hours. We have a little bit more
01:29:19.965 --> 01:29:23.605
that I want to touch base on. And at that, we're going to take a quick break.
01:29:24.265 --> 01:29:26.925
We'll be back. We'll be back in a little bit. Everyone sit tight.
01:29:27.385 --> 01:29:30.605
We're going to talk about any questions we have at Daggerheart and how we're
01:29:30.605 --> 01:29:33.425
going to handle combat in the sessions ahead.
01:29:33.885 --> 01:29:36.705
Stick around. .
01:29:40.694 --> 01:29:46.074
But wait, we've got some exciting news. Our new friends Nat20 Dicery have officially
01:29:46.074 --> 01:29:48.694
joined Ghostlight as our new dice partner.
01:29:49.014 --> 01:29:53.894
Nat20 Dicery is now crafting custom dice sets built specifically for Daggerheart,
01:29:54.134 --> 01:30:00.494
complete with two distinct D12s that embody the system's core tension between hope and fear,
01:30:00.874 --> 01:30:04.014
while maintaining harmony across the entire set.
01:30:04.194 --> 01:30:09.194
These are beautiful, balanced, and hand-poured with care by a small team who
01:30:09.194 --> 01:30:13.014
truly understands what makes dice feel special at the table.
01:30:13.354 --> 01:30:18.274
To celebrate this partnership and their new dice sets, you can get 10% off your
01:30:18.274 --> 01:30:23.494
order by using the code GOSTLIGHT at checkout. That's GOSTLIGHT, no space.
01:30:24.154 --> 01:30:28.114
Whether you're just stepping into the world of Daggerheart, or you've already
01:30:28.114 --> 01:30:33.594
declared your god, there's no better way to roll than with a set made just for this system.
01:30:33.594 --> 01:30:39.274
Visit nat20dicery.com to explore their custom dagger heart collection and support
01:30:39.274 --> 01:30:45.274
the stream while upgrading your role okay let's get back to the episode.
01:30:47.014 --> 01:30:51.654
All right everybody and we're back goldie is here we just can't see him he's
01:30:51.654 --> 01:30:58.774
uh in the air doing his flying monkey thing all right so for this next section
01:30:58.774 --> 01:31:02.374
so we've already We've established some connections, which have been fantastic.
01:31:02.534 --> 01:31:07.654
Thank you all for all of this great world building that we're doing. It makes me so happy.
01:31:08.854 --> 01:31:14.194
Super cool. I've really enjoyed it. Best, like, yeah, cool. This has been fun.
01:31:16.134 --> 01:31:20.934
Productive, but also fun in a productive way. So what I wanted to touch base
01:31:20.934 --> 01:31:27.094
on now after the break, I want to talk a bit about Daggerheart as a game system.
01:31:27.094 --> 01:31:31.554
We have a wide, varying degree of experience with it.
01:31:32.094 --> 01:31:36.754
If we have any questions about how it functions, how we use it,
01:31:36.954 --> 01:31:43.034
what actually happens during normal gameplay, one thing I can tell you is that
01:31:43.034 --> 01:31:44.454
there's the hope and fear,
01:31:45.402 --> 01:31:48.802
Economy is huge. You probably have seen it looking at your character sheets.
01:31:49.442 --> 01:31:54.942
When you roll an action roll, whichever of your D12s, you roll action rolls
01:31:54.942 --> 01:31:56.282
with two D12s. Let's start with that.
01:31:56.562 --> 01:32:00.242
They are distinctly colored. So if you are rolling with physical dice,
01:32:00.322 --> 01:32:03.582
which you are more than welcome to do, just make sure they're distinctly colored.
01:32:03.722 --> 01:32:07.922
If you're rolling on demi-plane, they color them for you and indicate it pretty clearly.
01:32:09.582 --> 01:32:14.342
We're going to do this straight up tabletop. I'm not going to like audit your
01:32:14.342 --> 01:32:16.022
roles. I'm just going to ask you what you rolled.
01:32:16.202 --> 01:32:21.602
And then you can just add your modifiers if you're doing it physically or if
01:32:21.602 --> 01:32:23.922
you're doing a demi plane. Just let me know what you rolled.
01:32:24.302 --> 01:32:28.022
If you roll with hope, you gain a hope. If you roll with fear, I gain a fear.
01:32:28.142 --> 01:32:32.382
And those are a different kind of economy that we use to do different things.
01:32:33.322 --> 01:32:34.682
In and out of combat.
01:32:35.982 --> 01:32:39.922
I'm going to have a fear counter. I haven't decided how yet.
01:32:39.922 --> 01:32:44.642
It's either going to be in this window or it's going to be a physical apparatus
01:32:44.642 --> 01:32:49.662
that hangs just below if i can figure out how it's going to be it's either going to be right here.
01:32:51.362 --> 01:32:54.662
Or it's going to be actually on the window i'm aiming for a digital solution
01:32:54.662 --> 01:32:59.142
that is just going to appear across the window but um if i can get it to work
01:32:59.142 --> 01:33:02.702
otherwise it'll be something physical if you'll see it in my window no matter
01:33:02.702 --> 01:33:07.182
how we're playing so for those of you who are in the chat and watching this on stream.
01:33:07.562 --> 01:33:11.942
We are streaming this through a different platform. Even on that platform,
01:33:11.982 --> 01:33:14.382
you'll be able to see my fear. That's that's the goal.
01:33:14.922 --> 01:33:20.482
You know, I have this little 3d printed guy that you can flip over the skulls.
01:33:20.962 --> 01:33:25.842
Beautiful for counting the fear and it sits on top of the DM screen.
01:33:26.542 --> 01:33:31.042
Oh, really nice. I was looking through a couple different 3d printed solutions
01:33:31.042 --> 01:33:35.262
and they all like they seem really cool for like the ones that clip right on
01:33:35.262 --> 01:33:39.322
the DM screen and I was like if I can move my computer over maybe I can.
01:33:40.762 --> 01:33:45.982
Get it would be cool if they could see our hopes too but that would probably
01:33:45.982 --> 01:33:48.562
be very difficult to do yeah,
01:33:49.427 --> 01:33:54.807
You could maybe clamp one onto your mic. Yeah, we could have little stands that
01:33:54.807 --> 01:33:57.507
we just flip beside us, like physical stands.
01:33:58.807 --> 01:34:04.207
It would be cool to have lights that lit up. That's a little bit too. Just an abacus.
01:34:04.607 --> 01:34:07.547
We'll get an abacus. That's essentially what most of them are.
01:34:07.767 --> 01:34:11.687
So that's that economy. I mean, I just want to let you know that you will be
01:34:11.687 --> 01:34:13.987
able to always see, this actually can be over here, I think,
01:34:14.207 --> 01:34:18.887
always see my fear no matter where I have it. I'm really bad at this whole thing.
01:34:19.427 --> 01:34:25.067
But what are some of the major questions you all have about the system?
01:34:25.527 --> 01:34:29.767
Let me go back to my notes from our overview. And let me see.
01:34:30.647 --> 01:34:32.987
How much has everyone played? None.
01:34:34.447 --> 01:34:40.847
I've played some I played a one shot back when it was like in early alpha when
01:34:40.847 --> 01:34:42.067
it was they were doing the testing.
01:34:42.367 --> 01:34:47.027
And then a couple of weeks ago, I ran a one shot like introductory session for a few people.
01:34:47.987 --> 01:34:52.687
So like I DM'd it so you know I have a decent understanding of the rules and
01:34:52.687 --> 01:34:58.127
have played it a bit How did you feel it translated from like other tabletop
01:34:58.127 --> 01:35:01.807
systems to Daggerheart? Do people seem to get it pretty well?
01:35:02.547 --> 01:35:06.327
Yeah it's everybody that I played with seemed to pick it up.
01:35:06.627 --> 01:35:14.547
One thing we noticed in the like previous one we were doing the like the early edition of it is.
01:35:15.327 --> 01:35:20.307
It works better if everybody's on board with the system if you're trying to
01:35:20.307 --> 01:35:25.327
play D&D it may not work as well but if you're everybody's like you know you're
01:35:25.327 --> 01:35:28.627
trying to play Daggerheart you know the whole like no,
01:35:29.127 --> 01:35:32.987
initiative and stuff and everybody works together on it instead of you know somebody,
01:35:33.587 --> 01:35:37.967
trying to you know take up all the space that's if everybody's on the same page
01:35:37.967 --> 01:35:41.887
it works really well but yeah a lot of the stuff like it's basic idea instead
01:35:41.887 --> 01:35:44.887
of rolling the D20 you're rolling 2d12s.
01:35:45.527 --> 01:35:50.227
Once you understand the whole minor damage and major damage and severe damage
01:35:50.227 --> 01:35:53.667
kind of thresholds, once you kind of get that down, it's super quick.
01:35:53.927 --> 01:35:57.827
The first couple times it may be like, wait, how much actual hit points do I take?
01:35:57.987 --> 01:36:02.947
But once you've done it a couple times, the people I played with or I ran it
01:36:02.947 --> 01:36:04.407
for, they were brand new people.
01:36:05.007 --> 01:36:11.607
And they had the damage thresholds and using armor down within the first,
01:36:11.647 --> 01:36:13.287
I was going to say, round of combat.
01:36:13.327 --> 01:36:16.027
But there's no rounds like but they all had
01:36:16.027 --> 01:36:18.727
it down super quick and one of them she had
01:36:18.727 --> 01:36:22.767
played dnd once a long time ago the other two have played a little bit of dnd
01:36:22.767 --> 01:36:28.807
so but they all picked it up super quick so last week i played in one shot and
01:36:28.807 --> 01:36:32.487
there was three players from the dm we were all three pretty experienced players
01:36:32.487 --> 01:36:34.027
playing role-playing games and
01:36:34.027 --> 01:36:37.507
so the one thing i did worry about was how would that initiative go but.
01:36:38.192 --> 01:36:41.252
Everybody was very graceful and being able to pass this spotlight to the next
01:36:41.252 --> 01:36:44.372
person. And it almost became a narrative where I'm setting this up for you and
01:36:44.372 --> 01:36:45.112
this is what I'm going to do.
01:36:45.292 --> 01:36:48.232
And it became, and I thought it was going to be more of an issue,
01:36:48.252 --> 01:36:50.172
but it was actually really, really, really smooth.
01:36:50.352 --> 01:36:53.332
And it made narrative sense just to go from one to the next,
01:36:53.412 --> 01:36:56.332
to the next, to the next. And then when the spotlight switched to the GM,
01:36:56.532 --> 01:36:58.012
it was like they described how it switched.
01:36:58.172 --> 01:37:02.492
And it was very, I mean, if you're a good role player and you liked,
01:37:02.612 --> 01:37:09.032
you know, if you like D&D, this'll, in my opinion, it became super easy, right?
01:37:09.132 --> 01:37:12.892
Because there's not 500 skills you could use, there aren't, right?
01:37:13.472 --> 01:37:16.992
There's a limited amount of choices at this point. Yeah, mechanically,
01:37:17.052 --> 01:37:20.612
it's a lot less cumbersome, I guess is the word.
01:37:22.172 --> 01:37:26.112
Yeah, instead of having to go like, oh, I have to use acrobatics,
01:37:26.232 --> 01:37:30.672
which is connected to this and trying to find all the,
01:37:31.372 --> 01:37:34.212
30 different skills and stuff like that it's just
01:37:34.212 --> 01:37:41.652
you use your 6 main stats and add your experience on if it applies and you have
01:37:41.652 --> 01:37:47.132
the hope to spend on it I hope you do we were saying about the narrative combat
01:37:47.132 --> 01:37:52.252
kind of thing we had points where you know I think it was a sorcerer.
01:37:53.512 --> 01:37:58.612
She got attacked and then the guardian immediately was like I want to go and
01:37:58.612 --> 01:38:01.092
then attack the thing that attacked her and like,
01:38:01.872 --> 01:38:09.092
they just they kind of turned into that like narrative combat you went when you had reason to go,
01:38:09.732 --> 01:38:12.932
yeah the big the big tagline is follow the fiction so
01:38:12.932 --> 01:38:15.872
it's less about now you there is a certain
01:38:15.872 --> 01:38:18.812
level of you know sharing that spotlight moving that
01:38:18.812 --> 01:38:21.532
spotlight being mindful of who hasn't had
01:38:21.532 --> 01:38:24.412
the spotlight but also like when it makes sense
01:38:24.412 --> 01:38:27.292
for what's happening and it's not just in combat
01:38:27.292 --> 01:38:30.932
either it's all all over during exploration
01:38:30.932 --> 01:38:35.152
during during the overall stories be mindful that you are telling a story and
01:38:35.152 --> 01:38:41.252
how you act sort of feeds into how that story is being told say did you have
01:38:41.252 --> 01:38:48.452
questions i do so sorry okay so i have a couple first of all Well,
01:38:48.732 --> 01:38:55.332
can you remind me for basic like melee non magic combat and for spellcasting,
01:38:55.712 --> 01:38:59.472
like both of those, how do I like attack?
01:38:59.872 --> 01:39:02.272
Like, how does that process work?
01:39:03.681 --> 01:39:10.621
How do you how do you just attack yeah like what am i rolling what am i it's
01:39:10.621 --> 01:39:14.901
still the same as any action role for your attack role so you're still rolling
01:39:14.901 --> 01:39:17.261
too so like your action roles are 3d12s.
01:39:18.701 --> 01:39:26.761
Okay and you you either succeed or fail with fear succeed with fear is still a success,
01:39:27.641 --> 01:39:33.661
it just plays into that economy I might make your what your success means in
01:39:33.661 --> 01:39:38.921
and out of combat may slightly differ from it you may gain there would be a
01:39:38.921 --> 01:39:41.881
narrative reason for what happens based on what you will put it that way,
01:39:42.681 --> 01:39:46.821
okay tell Aaron were you going to add something I was going to say for magic
01:39:46.821 --> 01:39:49.001
attacks you would just use whatever your,
01:39:49.881 --> 01:39:52.781
magic feature is like mine it's instinct I believe the
01:39:52.781 --> 01:39:55.841
wizard it would be knowledge so you just roll
01:39:55.841 --> 01:40:02.501
your 2d12 and add your knowledge to it okay that's a that's a key point that
01:40:02.501 --> 01:40:07.521
i think watching some videos some people miss is that you're rolling 2d12 right
01:40:07.521 --> 01:40:12.961
and then you're taking the whichever one is higher it means whether it was hope
01:40:12.961 --> 01:40:14.421
or feel but you are adding them together,
01:40:15.321 --> 01:40:18.041
so if you have a two and an eight your eight
01:40:18.041 --> 01:40:20.981
was your fear die it's a 10 with fear
01:40:20.981 --> 01:40:30.121
plus whatever modifier is relevant does that make sense okay yes yes uh and
01:40:30.121 --> 01:40:36.301
then the other side is that crits are any matching numbers one are we gonna
01:40:36.301 --> 01:40:39.821
implement the homebrew i'm kidding.
01:40:46.221 --> 01:40:48.861
I'm kidding tbd,
01:40:51.553 --> 01:40:54.833
We'll think of something. Chet doesn't know what we're talking about.
01:40:55.473 --> 01:40:57.353
I don't know what we're talking about.
01:40:58.253 --> 01:41:01.493
Oh, it's all of the roles they were doing before we started the stream.
01:41:01.813 --> 01:41:04.753
Yeah, the ones that keep rolling over and over and over again.
01:41:05.333 --> 01:41:07.473
Yeah. The fun number.
01:41:09.493 --> 01:41:12.573
Nice. A stored upgrade.
01:41:13.853 --> 01:41:20.513
Let me ask this. In terms of playing a spellcaster in Daggerheart, I mean,
01:41:21.093 --> 01:41:26.953
what, like, what are my benefits and drawbacks of, like, attacking,
01:41:26.993 --> 01:41:32.653
like, because the wheelbarrow, you know, the primary weapon wheelchair that
01:41:32.653 --> 01:41:34.753
I use, obviously, is, like, a melee combatant.
01:41:34.853 --> 01:41:38.173
And my secondary is a grappler, like, to bring people closer to me,
01:41:38.193 --> 01:41:43.733
because I base my spellcasting around either melee, close, or,
01:41:43.873 --> 01:41:45.713
like, medium range for the most part.
01:41:45.713 --> 01:41:51.973
So how do those you okay, so let me you have one action per turn, correct?
01:41:52.553 --> 01:41:58.653
Kind of the idea is anytime your role is a chance for the GM to take over because
01:41:58.653 --> 01:42:01.933
if you roll with fear or you fail, the GM can take a turn.
01:42:02.133 --> 01:42:09.233
Right. So you can technically do multiple things in a row, but that would be
01:42:09.233 --> 01:42:12.033
you taking multiple turns in a row, and every time you roll,
01:42:12.213 --> 01:42:15.873
it's a chance for the spotlight to go to the adversaries.
01:42:16.173 --> 01:42:21.473
And there needs to be an error of reason to do it because you don't want to hog that spotlight.
01:42:21.693 --> 01:42:24.693
You want to make sure that you're being mindful of your fellow players.
01:42:25.173 --> 01:42:30.633
Or you can say, like, hey, can I set up a combo to two turns kind of thing? Set up a combo.
01:42:30.833 --> 01:42:35.453
That'll be really cool. then I'm pretty sure most of the time we'll be like, yeah, go ahead.
01:42:36.193 --> 01:42:39.773
Well, how do the combos work, actually? Do you mean the tank rolls?
01:42:40.813 --> 01:42:50.113
Yeah, like, okay, say Sage wanted to attack a rusher, something like that, with her chair.
01:42:51.003 --> 01:43:00.783
She's like, push me just to get that extra, just to get an extra oomph on there. Now, would I?
01:43:01.823 --> 01:43:05.263
It's a tag team mechanic, right? And you can use that once per session.
01:43:05.943 --> 01:43:09.943
Yeah, once per session. Each player can use it once per session.
01:43:10.143 --> 01:43:14.263
You can initiate a tag team roll. That's three hope, right? Yeah. Yeah.
01:43:15.463 --> 01:43:18.623
And then you both roll. Yep. You both roll.
01:43:19.423 --> 01:43:22.943
And you pick which one you want. yeah okay but
01:43:22.943 --> 01:43:27.803
then you both do the damage there you go okay i got confused with that with
01:43:27.803 --> 01:43:31.883
like help where it's just like okay you can use another die there's also so
01:43:31.883 --> 01:43:37.463
there's aid there's aid an ally or help an ally you can spend one hope to give
01:43:37.463 --> 01:43:42.163
an ally advantage we so let's say stage,
01:43:42.803 --> 01:43:45.743
wanted help i don't know they were
01:43:45.743 --> 01:43:49.623
going up a hill and they couldn't get i don't know whatever it is if they
01:43:49.623 --> 01:43:52.843
ask you for a fresh no the magic isn't enough the
01:43:52.843 --> 01:43:56.563
magic i know the sage's character we have established that they can move it
01:43:56.563 --> 01:44:01.563
with their mind i know but like for the sake of this conversation if it was
01:44:01.563 --> 01:44:05.603
a role an action role they were going to take you could say hey i want to help
01:44:05.603 --> 01:44:11.823
an ally for one for one hope you spend that hope and you give them advantage so they they add,
01:44:12.903 --> 01:44:14.763
1d6. Okay.
01:44:16.063 --> 01:44:20.203
One second. Sage, when you're done typing that, let me know.
01:44:20.223 --> 01:44:22.043
I wanted to ask you if you've seen something.
01:44:23.063 --> 01:44:29.243
Yes, I'm done. Have you seen what? Have you seen where you can export your character to PDF?
01:44:30.323 --> 01:44:35.563
Because it's a really cool thing whenever you print it out or if you just do
01:44:35.563 --> 01:44:41.003
it for a PDF that has kind of what the action rules are and stuff like,
01:44:41.103 --> 01:44:42.683
oh, quick reference thing.
01:44:43.403 --> 01:44:53.003
I also, I put some player handouts in the Daggerheart channel on Discord as well. There's GM ones.
01:44:53.363 --> 01:44:55.423
You put out a cheat sheet, then it... Yeah.
01:44:56.483 --> 01:45:00.203
It helps explain things pretty... I forgot about that. Quick reference guide.
01:45:01.343 --> 01:45:07.043
And I forget the... Someone on Reddit oh, Daddy Longhairs was the original post.
01:45:09.403 --> 01:45:15.303
Give credit where credit's new they spell it out both are really great really
01:45:15.303 --> 01:45:19.283
great guides actually i exported it to my notes on my ipad so i could sort of
01:45:19.283 --> 01:45:24.163
scribble over it oh oh oh i did download those oh you haven't,
01:45:24.683 --> 01:45:30.903
the play guide okay i see i see i see there you go got it perfect let me upload
01:45:30.903 --> 01:45:34.523
that to my drive folder because I have so much.
01:45:35.663 --> 01:45:37.423
That's perfect. Thank you so much.
01:45:38.625 --> 01:45:42.725
Can you use domain cards more than once?
01:45:42.945 --> 01:45:46.705
So for example, I have a domain card called the Book of Iliad,
01:45:46.825 --> 01:45:49.565
which has an ability called Arcane Barrage.
01:45:49.685 --> 01:45:53.265
And this says specifically once per rest, blah, blah, blah.
01:45:53.945 --> 01:45:59.785
But most of them don't. Is it like once I use this card, I have to put it down?
01:46:00.145 --> 01:46:04.285
Or is it just like this is my repertoire, like a spell book?
01:46:04.425 --> 01:46:09.745
Yeah, so it's all about the economy, right? It's not like you have a spell slot,
01:46:09.825 --> 01:46:11.525
you burn this card. Right.
01:46:11.765 --> 01:46:16.185
As long as you have whatever that card is telling you you need to have to do
01:46:16.185 --> 01:46:18.285
it. Yeah, some will use a stress, some will use hope.
01:46:18.625 --> 01:46:22.285
As long as you have those to spend, you can use it as much as you want.
01:46:23.045 --> 01:46:24.885
And honestly, like once per.
01:46:25.865 --> 01:46:29.845
And I don't know if this is a homebrew rule or it's just generally how it is.
01:46:29.945 --> 01:46:34.645
Once you're out of stress and you take another stress, you lose a hit point.
01:46:35.565 --> 01:46:40.705
I'm okay with you over stressing yourself to cast spells. Okay.
01:46:41.985 --> 01:46:47.765
Whether it's a good idea, that's a different story. But if that's what you want to do, have at it.
01:46:47.965 --> 01:46:51.545
I think in the rule book it says something about staying full on stress makes
01:46:51.545 --> 01:46:54.985
you more vulnerable to attacks. I can't remember what the exact one kind of clause.
01:46:57.805 --> 01:47:02.105
Yeah, you're vulnerable if your stress is full. Which vulnerable means your
01:47:02.105 --> 01:47:04.705
attacks are at disadvantage and attacks against you are advantage.
01:47:05.585 --> 01:47:12.245
Got it. Okay. I think the only other question I have is about the rests.
01:47:12.865 --> 01:47:14.965
Can you explain those to me again?
01:47:16.425 --> 01:47:21.385
So during a rest, you can do two downtime moves. So during a rest,
01:47:21.485 --> 01:47:23.985
you can tend to wounds. You can clear stress.
01:47:24.505 --> 01:47:26.105
You can repair your armor.
01:47:26.645 --> 01:47:31.565
You can prepare or you can work on a project during a long rest.
01:47:31.565 --> 01:47:35.425
I think it wasn't prepare just gaining hope. Yeah.
01:47:36.285 --> 01:47:40.425
If another player also prepares, he gained two hope. Yeah, you can team up on that.
01:47:40.985 --> 01:47:48.905
So yeah, on rest, everything doesn't just fill up. You have to choose two of the options to work on.
01:47:49.505 --> 01:47:53.605
Is it two on long rest and is it one on short rest?
01:47:54.165 --> 01:47:58.485
No, it's two for both, but long rest fully repeals. Oh, that's right.
01:47:59.865 --> 01:48:03.625
Repairs, whereas short rest only, you roll to see how much you heal or repair.
01:48:04.105 --> 01:48:07.425
That's right. Yep. So on a long rest, if you're repairing armor,
01:48:07.505 --> 01:48:08.925
you would repair all your armor slots.
01:48:09.145 --> 01:48:12.885
If there were a short rest, you would only repair 1d4 plus your tier.
01:48:13.145 --> 01:48:14.765
And the same is true for health.
01:48:16.585 --> 01:48:17.265
That's right.
01:48:18.892 --> 01:48:25.112
One kind of homebrew addition I am going to add, it's going to depend on where
01:48:25.112 --> 01:48:27.212
you're ending your session, where you're doing your long rest.
01:48:27.332 --> 01:48:31.172
If it is in a danger area, we're going to totally do Age of Ember rules and
01:48:31.172 --> 01:48:33.612
make you somebody hold watch.
01:48:33.992 --> 01:48:39.652
And if you hold watch, that would be one of your downtime.
01:48:40.092 --> 01:48:43.092
But again, it's all about where you choose to do it. If you're out and about
01:48:43.092 --> 01:48:49.232
in a dangerous area, if somebody has a pole guard, You roll during that and
01:48:49.232 --> 01:48:50.972
the outcome of that roll dictates what happened.
01:48:51.312 --> 01:48:55.292
Is anyone familiar, is everyone familiar with the death moves?
01:48:55.552 --> 01:48:57.032
Not saying you're going to need them.
01:48:58.612 --> 01:49:04.032
Yep. All right. So if you find yourself all the way down to having no health,
01:49:04.352 --> 01:49:09.072
no hit points, you can make one of three choices.
01:49:10.072 --> 01:49:15.292
You can choose to, which order do I read these in? You can choose to go out
01:49:15.292 --> 01:49:21.172
in a blaze of glory, which is critically succeed on one final action,
01:49:21.372 --> 01:49:24.172
and then your character dies.
01:49:25.392 --> 01:49:31.452
You can avoid death. You fall unconscious, and the situation worsens,
01:49:31.612 --> 01:49:32.772
but you can't be attacked.
01:49:33.252 --> 01:49:37.392
When you return to consciousness, or you return to consciousness when you gain
01:49:37.392 --> 01:49:39.792
a hit point or after a long rest.
01:49:40.132 --> 01:49:45.792
When you drop, you roll your hope die. If it's equal or less than your level,
01:49:46.212 --> 01:49:50.372
you cross out one of your hope slots and you gain a narrative scar and there
01:49:50.372 --> 01:49:53.292
will be a narrative scar.
01:49:53.652 --> 01:49:58.592
So if you choose to fall unconscious, you roll. If it's lower than your level,
01:49:58.872 --> 01:50:02.092
which it can't be your opening level.
01:50:02.292 --> 01:50:06.652
So you lose a hit point permanently and you cross it out.
01:50:07.292 --> 01:50:11.192
Oh, a hope point or a hit point? One of your hope slots. I thought it was your
01:50:11.192 --> 01:50:12.592
hit point. You're right. I'm sorry.
01:50:14.432 --> 01:50:18.972
Yeah, I thought it was hope. It is hope point. That's less fun than what I was thinking.
01:50:19.392 --> 01:50:22.432
But still, we'll make it work narratively.
01:50:23.632 --> 01:50:28.932
You can make it at points. I mean, hope is all your cool attacks and abilities and stuff.
01:50:29.232 --> 01:50:32.412
So it just makes it hard to do fun stuff.
01:50:32.632 --> 01:50:37.912
Perfect sense. Because if you literally got that close to death and then you
01:50:37.912 --> 01:50:42.052
came back from it, you're going to be emotionally scarred. You're going to have less hope.
01:50:42.929 --> 01:50:46.929
General. You might actually have less hit points too, but I digress.
01:50:47.569 --> 01:50:48.869
Rules is written on this one.
01:50:50.049 --> 01:50:53.549
The last one is risk it all. You roll your duality dice.
01:50:53.929 --> 01:50:59.709
If you roll with hope, if the hope die is higher, you distribute its value to
01:50:59.709 --> 01:51:01.469
clear hit points or stress.
01:51:01.789 --> 01:51:04.589
If the fear die is higher, you die.
01:51:05.089 --> 01:51:08.089
If they're the same, if you roll a critical roll,
01:51:08.649 --> 01:51:16.209
you clear all hit points and stress so if you roll your die and you roll a 10
01:51:16.209 --> 01:51:22.009
and 2 with hope you can take that 10 and clear as many hit points and as many
01:51:22.009 --> 01:51:27.409
stress points as you can with that 10 does that make sense yeah,
01:51:28.229 --> 01:51:31.969
so you said if hope and fear are the same with
01:51:31.969 --> 01:51:37.089
risk at all it's a crit it's a crit yeah a critical role in this game system
01:51:37.089 --> 01:51:42.149
it's any matching yeah the map that opens their matching so if you have a grit
01:51:42.149 --> 01:51:48.449
during a death roll a death roll yeah if you have a crit during the death roll you clear.
01:51:50.169 --> 01:51:58.309
I'm um then you're amazing jump up with vigor you win the game you do okay and
01:51:58.309 --> 01:52:00.489
your character goes on the cover of the next reprint.
01:52:03.549 --> 01:52:06.889
Just talking a little bit about mechanics so you
01:52:06.889 --> 01:52:12.529
you have an evasion score that's what people are rolling against to hit you
01:52:12.529 --> 01:52:20.069
all right if it equals or above they hit the damage they do falls into your
01:52:20.069 --> 01:52:24.649
thresholds you have everyone sees their threshold thresholds bar on their thing,
01:52:25.369 --> 01:52:29.309
what threshold they hit into dictates how many hit points you take,
01:52:29.889 --> 01:52:35.309
you can lessen if you mark off an armor slot you can reduce the damage to the
01:52:35.309 --> 01:52:40.669
next threshold down so if you hit for major damage you can choose to use an
01:52:40.669 --> 01:52:46.449
armor slot and reduce it to minor damage so it's one minor two major,
01:52:46.709 --> 01:52:50.409
three severe four is a double severe,
01:52:51.509 --> 01:52:53.749
you don't need to head this all down now.
01:52:53.869 --> 01:52:56.169
We're just sort of talking about some interesting mechanics.
01:52:56.489 --> 01:53:01.089
We'll definitely... My armor is extraordinarily low. I'm assuming that's normal.
01:53:02.589 --> 01:53:09.809
Like, everyone's going to hit me. I mean, normal for... Your armor is not the same as your evasion.
01:53:10.689 --> 01:53:17.449
I'm super confused. What's your evasion? Okay, okay, okay. What is the armor again, then? Okay.
01:53:18.229 --> 01:53:19.749
What they have to do to hit me?
01:53:20.513 --> 01:53:23.693
Yeah, evasion is what they need to roll against.
01:53:23.913 --> 01:53:28.733
Your armor is an economy that you can use to reduce damage.
01:53:28.853 --> 01:53:33.493
And I reduce it to the next level down.
01:53:34.153 --> 01:53:40.213
Yep. So once they do an attack roll, and that says, hey, I hit you or I didn't.
01:53:40.293 --> 01:53:42.933
Let's say they did. Then they do a damage roll.
01:53:43.293 --> 01:53:48.493
And then that damage roll is against your thresholds. So what's your first threshold?
01:53:49.293 --> 01:53:54.613
Seven. All right, so let's say they rolled an eight that takes it from minor to major.
01:53:54.993 --> 01:54:01.473
You could choose, if you wanted to, to use an armor slot to reduce it back down to minor.
01:54:01.793 --> 01:54:06.213
Now, some damage, for example, poison is direct damage.
01:54:06.373 --> 01:54:09.933
You can't use armor to reduce. Okay.
01:54:10.433 --> 01:54:14.613
As we do this, as we're playing, we will totally go back over all of this.
01:54:15.493 --> 01:54:19.793
And it doesn't cause stress to use the armor slots or anything like that?
01:54:20.333 --> 01:54:21.413
I just wanted to make sure.
01:54:22.033 --> 01:54:25.813
It seems like it would, in my mind. You know, I'd be a little stressed,
01:54:25.853 --> 01:54:28.713
like, oh, that hurt, you know? So, I just wanted to make sure.
01:54:29.413 --> 01:54:32.873
We can make that a homebrew. No, no, no, no.
01:54:33.093 --> 01:54:38.753
Yeah, there are abilities that say mark a stress and you can reduce the damage
01:54:38.753 --> 01:54:42.393
by spending one armor an additional time. So, if you got hit with major and
01:54:42.393 --> 01:54:45.473
you have this feature and you can mark a stress, then you would take no damage.
01:54:46.333 --> 01:54:51.793
You may, like, do that. But while you're out in the world doing whatever you're doing,
01:54:51.973 --> 01:54:56.593
if you are trying to accomplish something through an action role and you maybe
01:54:56.593 --> 01:55:01.033
succeed with fear, you may have a consequence that requires you to take a stress
01:55:01.033 --> 01:55:03.453
because whatever you did was stressful for you.
01:55:03.613 --> 01:55:07.153
So you may acquire stress randomly throughout the course of gameplay.
01:55:07.373 --> 01:55:11.053
We will address leveling up when we do that. When we get there,
01:55:11.153 --> 01:55:14.353
I do anticipate leveling up relatively quickly. It's only eight.
01:55:15.230 --> 01:55:20.050
So we'll find some balance once you all feel, I mean, you probably never really
01:55:20.050 --> 01:55:22.610
feel super like comfortable with your characters like at that rate,
01:55:22.730 --> 01:55:27.770
but like once you've had a chance to sort of try it out at a certain level, we'll move to the next.
01:55:28.610 --> 01:55:34.550
Oh, here's, here's fun thing. That's quite a bit different ranges and movement.
01:55:37.950 --> 01:55:42.530
So adversaries and players can move within close range when they get the spotlight.
01:55:42.530 --> 01:55:45.550
Close range is about 10
01:55:45.550 --> 01:55:49.350
to 30 feet six squares or
01:55:49.350 --> 01:55:52.710
five to six inches we're not going to do the whole pencil analogy
01:55:52.710 --> 01:55:55.990
like because we're not using a physical environment
01:55:55.990 --> 01:55:58.690
however i'll show you what we're using in a
01:55:58.690 --> 01:56:02.390
minute here we will there will be squares you can count so and i'll
01:56:02.390 --> 01:56:05.670
constantly remind you what everything is so melee is
01:56:05.670 --> 01:56:08.730
or melee is it's
01:56:08.730 --> 01:56:11.630
a few feet close enough how we recognize or
01:56:11.630 --> 01:56:14.810
what we recognize in dnd what's melee is
01:56:14.810 --> 01:56:18.410
very close is 5 to 10 feet close is
01:56:18.410 --> 01:56:21.330
10 to 30 feet far is 30 to 100
01:56:21.330 --> 01:56:24.270
feet very far is 100
01:56:24.270 --> 01:56:30.550
to 300 feet and out of ranges beyond that all right you can move in in a in
01:56:30.550 --> 01:56:36.710
a again combat you can move to outside of close range you just need to make
01:56:36.710 --> 01:56:42.330
a role to do it anything anyone else oh we talked about it we haven't talked about experiences yet,
01:56:42.850 --> 01:56:48.310
so you all have made experiences the experiences are good for adding modifiers
01:56:48.310 --> 01:56:54.990
to your to a role if it if it makes sense if you have been watching age of umbra
01:56:54.990 --> 01:56:59.290
on critical role i mean if you're watching it now you're not watching this so
01:56:59.290 --> 01:57:02.030
i guess that doesn't matter thank you all for watching this over that.
01:57:02.930 --> 01:57:07.010
However, if you've been watching that, Matt is really big about like,
01:57:07.130 --> 01:57:09.330
you need to call out your experience in advance.
01:57:09.950 --> 01:57:14.930
Because of where we are with learning it, like I am not going to be a huge stickler
01:57:14.930 --> 01:57:17.670
about it. I would like you to don't get me wrong.
01:57:17.990 --> 01:57:21.970
But we're all learning the system. So there is going to be I will have there
01:57:21.970 --> 01:57:23.950
will be some some leeway with that.
01:57:25.470 --> 01:57:28.370
And what do you what what I mean, I understand what you're saying.
01:57:28.530 --> 01:57:30.310
I don't understand what you mean by in advance.
01:57:31.070 --> 01:57:36.550
Okay. Who has a good, a good experience they've developed for the church?
01:57:36.590 --> 01:57:37.250
Mine is nature's friend.
01:57:37.950 --> 01:57:41.070
Nature's friend. I mean, how might that experience be applied?
01:57:41.530 --> 01:57:48.530
Any time that we're trying to traverse some sort of difficult thing with plants or something. Sure.
01:57:48.770 --> 01:57:51.890
Okay, great. So let's say that you are, you know,
01:57:52.823 --> 01:58:00.383
effectively trying to maneuver through a thick brush for example maybe i might
01:58:00.383 --> 01:58:06.303
ask you to make an agility role and you can say hey well like i'd like i want
01:58:06.303 --> 01:58:10.383
to apply nature's friend nature's friend yeah and if you can the deal with the
01:58:10.383 --> 01:58:11.923
experience is that as you're writing them,
01:58:12.443 --> 01:58:18.143
if you can narratively justify using it then you can use it all right before
01:58:18.143 --> 01:58:21.363
the role we will encounter times where you're like, I'm going to do this and
01:58:21.363 --> 01:58:23.583
you succeed in your role or you fail your role, but then you're going to be
01:58:23.583 --> 01:58:25.183
like, oh wait, my experience.
01:58:25.923 --> 01:58:27.783
Yeah, yeah. I watch other games, it happens a lot.
01:58:28.843 --> 01:58:31.923
I listen to a lot of these on podcasts while I'm mowing the lawn.
01:58:31.923 --> 01:58:34.243
I'm always like, man, see, I would let my players do that.
01:58:35.203 --> 01:58:40.083
If it's within reason, if it's relatively close to the role,
01:58:40.263 --> 01:58:43.563
if we've moved on from it, then we'll probably won't let you backtrack to it.
01:58:43.683 --> 01:58:47.903
But if it's relatively, it's like, oh no moment, then that's fine with me.
01:58:48.763 --> 01:58:52.003
The experiences part was really hard for me. I looked at all the examples and
01:58:52.003 --> 01:58:54.143
I saw nature's friend and I was like, well, that's Echo.
01:58:54.563 --> 01:58:57.683
Literally, there you go. Yeah. Friends is nature.
01:58:58.443 --> 01:59:00.883
So, I mean, it's perfect, you know.
01:59:02.383 --> 01:59:05.903
One thing that we haven't talked about, which is fun, group action roles,
01:59:06.083 --> 01:59:08.803
I think are just outstanding. And I wish we were doing it in D&D.
01:59:09.563 --> 01:59:12.723
I really wanted to this past session with Fargram. Actually,
01:59:12.863 --> 01:59:14.523
I was like, oh, this would be a great place to do it.
01:59:15.403 --> 01:59:19.603
So your group may be trying to accomplish something. and I may call for a group role.
01:59:19.803 --> 01:59:24.423
You would then pick the person who's best suited to lead that action.
01:59:24.783 --> 01:59:31.243
So let's say someone was more stronger than somebody else, has higher modifier for strength.
01:59:31.603 --> 01:59:34.443
You would all roll against the DC.
01:59:34.843 --> 01:59:39.603
Everyone who rolled with your own modifier, everyone who rolled and succeeded
01:59:39.603 --> 01:59:43.843
would get plus one. The overall group would have plus one.
01:59:44.323 --> 01:59:49.743
And then everyone who failed, they would get minus one. and then the person who leads the...
01:59:51.167 --> 01:59:55.087
Group role uses that as a modifier so if
01:59:55.087 --> 01:59:57.927
everyone tanks it they have to roll with
01:59:57.927 --> 02:00:01.167
their modifier and now this new group modifier so if
02:00:01.167 --> 02:00:03.867
they have like a plus two to strength and you
02:00:03.867 --> 02:00:07.447
all just gave them minus five their role
02:00:07.447 --> 02:00:13.987
that they do they don't get a modifier from their role right they they can use
02:00:13.987 --> 02:00:18.467
their modifier that's why you've chosen them i meant i meant like uh the plus
02:00:18.467 --> 02:00:24.547
one like their role is not counted towards the additional modifier that they
02:00:24.547 --> 02:00:26.827
use. That's correct. Yeah. Okay.
02:00:27.547 --> 02:00:31.867
Their role is the one that is the successor trial.
02:00:32.087 --> 02:00:37.247
We talked about, yeah, so you can spend hope to help an ally that we discussed,
02:00:37.307 --> 02:00:38.687
like pushing the wheelbarrow.
02:00:39.027 --> 02:00:42.507
Utilize an experience. It says before you make a trait role,
02:00:42.687 --> 02:00:44.147
but there's some leeway.
02:00:44.727 --> 02:00:48.507
Initiate a tag team role that you spend three hope and you team up.
02:00:48.507 --> 02:00:50.267
Or you can activate a feature.
02:00:50.867 --> 02:00:57.287
And then conditions that we have, there aren't anywhere near as many as some of the other systems.
02:00:57.467 --> 02:01:04.447
We have vulnerable, restrained, hidden, and then what they call temporary conditions,
02:01:04.727 --> 02:01:08.967
which is sort of things that may be more specific that as the GM,
02:01:09.067 --> 02:01:10.467
I could spend a few years to clear a condition.
02:01:10.727 --> 02:01:14.067
But mostly it's just three, vulnerable, restrained, hidden. I was going to say
02:01:14.067 --> 02:01:17.927
restrained is you can't move until you've cleared the condition.
02:01:18.507 --> 02:01:21.427
You can still do actions and stuff, though. Vulnerable is the,
02:01:21.527 --> 02:01:24.887
what do you call it, disadvantage when you're doing something and advantage
02:01:24.887 --> 02:01:29.627
against you when something's being done to you, unless, until you clear it and then hidden.
02:01:29.947 --> 02:01:34.607
And I saw something recently today on Reddit that the hidden feature is just
02:01:34.607 --> 02:01:36.207
when you're out of sight of a foe.
02:01:36.587 --> 02:01:40.767
It's not specifically like a rogue is hiding.
02:01:41.367 --> 02:01:45.627
Anybody who is out of sight of a foe can have the hidden condition with regards
02:01:45.627 --> 02:01:48.187
to that foe. It's different from cloaked. All right.
02:01:48.507 --> 02:01:56.667
So, anybody have any other questions or want to discuss any other part of Daggerheart?
02:01:56.867 --> 02:02:01.167
We had talked about it briefly in the chat, but the domains,
02:02:01.667 --> 02:02:05.707
we talked about whether or not we're going to double up on them or try to do
02:02:05.707 --> 02:02:11.767
different ones just to get a variety of domains or cards.
02:02:11.767 --> 02:02:18.727
Cards, because I know I share domain, my domains with one with Echo and one with Helm.
02:02:18.907 --> 02:02:24.187
Yeah, if we wanted to kind of plan out which domain cards we've taken,
02:02:24.227 --> 02:02:28.687
so we're not doubling up that way, you know, we can all see different cards and stuff like that.
02:02:28.887 --> 02:02:31.867
Yeah, so you're not worried about sharing a domain with somebody,
02:02:31.927 --> 02:02:35.007
but you want to make sure you have a good variation of cards.
02:02:35.547 --> 02:02:37.807
Has everyone chosen their their cards yet?
02:02:39.357 --> 02:02:42.857
Yeah, I did. I didn't know how. No. I was just looking at that.
02:02:42.897 --> 02:02:44.517
I was like, I don't think I've done that. And then I was like,
02:02:44.577 --> 02:02:45.577
I don't know how to do that.
02:02:45.717 --> 02:02:48.417
And I was just like looking around and I was like, I don't know what's happening.
02:02:50.057 --> 02:02:55.957
I meant for preliminary choices, but I was waiting to see what people took in this.
02:02:57.157 --> 02:03:01.037
Yeah, because I'm looking right now and I don't even see where I would select
02:03:01.037 --> 02:03:02.697
that. Like, I don't see it.
02:03:03.237 --> 02:03:09.937
Yeah, I don't even. That's the same thing with experience. So in the Demi plane,
02:03:10.157 --> 02:03:16.537
when you're in the editing your character section or where is that again? Character builder.
02:03:17.057 --> 02:03:19.057
Okay. Where was it?
02:03:20.377 --> 02:03:24.037
Experiences is just right there and it has it there. Click on level up.
02:03:24.297 --> 02:03:27.437
Will you there? Is it not there? Level up. No, that's for level two.
02:03:29.397 --> 02:03:34.037
Under class, the very bottom one is take domain cards.
02:03:34.777 --> 02:03:37.777
In that one that gives you a list of the domain cards you can select from.
02:03:37.957 --> 02:03:39.677
There's three from each domain.
02:03:40.257 --> 02:03:48.057
I did select my two. Okay. I don't think I see it on my character sheet anywhere.
02:03:48.397 --> 02:03:53.717
Well, you have to select the actual domain, and then you can go through each
02:03:53.717 --> 02:03:57.397
individual card and select which of those cards you want to take.
02:03:57.917 --> 02:04:03.697
Yeah, I did select. I forgot about how I selected it, but I did select you.
02:04:04.037 --> 02:04:06.477
But I don't see it on my character sheet when I go to my character.
02:04:06.637 --> 02:04:09.077
It should be under your effects and features.
02:04:09.497 --> 02:04:11.197
There's domain effects and features.
02:04:11.837 --> 02:04:15.097
Yes. Let me go check that. It's more in the bottom.
02:04:16.497 --> 02:04:21.497
Oh, okay. Oh, I have my domain effects. Oh, there it is. Yeah. Yeah.
02:04:22.437 --> 02:04:27.437
Okay. Okay. We're good. I do have my two domain effects.
02:04:28.397 --> 02:04:33.717
Do you want to know what they are? Are we sharing domain? Are you using any from the Arcana domain?
02:04:34.037 --> 02:04:38.437
Nope I don't know if it says on those no yours are from the oh what was your
02:04:38.437 --> 02:04:44.817
other one sage sage okay yeah mine are from so mine okay mine are both from
02:04:44.817 --> 02:04:48.857
arcana so I'm not using any of the midnight or whatever it is or night,
02:04:50.197 --> 02:04:53.317
so helm you're fine for any of those,
02:04:54.282 --> 02:04:58.382
Is anyone else a sage other than you? Oh, no, you're not. I'm a sage.
02:05:01.222 --> 02:05:07.242
Yes, you are. Yours are slender. And I can't remember what the book is called, Codex.
02:05:08.002 --> 02:05:13.022
Yeah. They say in the character builder section, but not on the actual character
02:05:13.022 --> 02:05:14.922
page. Yeah, yeah, it's weird, right?
02:05:16.322 --> 02:05:20.202
They should show it somewhere. It's at the center at the top.
02:05:20.442 --> 02:05:21.902
For what? On the character page.
02:05:22.562 --> 02:05:24.422
Oh, yeah. under the flags.
02:05:25.742 --> 02:05:29.702
Yeah, it looks like a little, what would you call those? A banner? Yeah, banner.
02:05:30.362 --> 02:05:33.562
Or if you click on the name of it, it brings it up on the other side and it'll
02:05:33.562 --> 02:05:35.242
show you on the right side, it'll show you.
02:05:35.762 --> 02:05:39.782
I currently pick both of mine from Valor, which overlaps with Throg.
02:05:40.062 --> 02:05:42.782
I have Bare Bones and I Am Your Shield at Loman.
02:05:43.762 --> 02:05:48.922
Yeah, I have I Am Your Shield and what's the other one I have?
02:05:49.502 --> 02:05:52.782
You know, some of them it's not too bad to have two of, right?
02:05:53.422 --> 02:05:55.522
Yeah, no, I mean... Eye of your shield, yeah.
02:05:56.742 --> 02:06:01.642
I have the eye of your shield and not good enough. Someone else could be Sager's
02:06:01.642 --> 02:06:03.362
shield. Is the intention...
02:06:03.842 --> 02:06:07.682
That's something I haven't encountered, though. Is the intention that people
02:06:07.682 --> 02:06:12.442
don't have, like you're all working off the same deck, or is it okay to have
02:06:12.442 --> 02:06:14.422
more? It's kind of intended.
02:06:14.742 --> 02:06:19.062
That's why they only give you one copy of each card in the set,
02:06:19.242 --> 02:06:23.062
is they don't want you doubling up. It even says, I think, in the book that
02:06:23.062 --> 02:06:26.562
you can, but it's recommended you don't, just so you have a variety of abilities.
02:06:26.862 --> 02:06:31.422
That question came up earlier, and I couldn't find it, but it's a lot to get through.
02:06:33.362 --> 02:06:41.342
I will only ever pull from the Sage one, because it's the only one that makes sense for my character.
02:06:41.662 --> 02:06:45.742
The other one just doesn't. Yeah, even if there's a spell that I love for Arcana,
02:06:46.262 --> 02:06:49.102
no, I'm not going to pick it, because it just doesn't.
02:06:50.362 --> 02:06:53.262
Fair enough. Okay, I'll switch my now for Forestful Bush. Unless I feel like
02:06:53.262 --> 02:06:57.322
it should be under Sage. It's not what I meant, Sage! Yeah!
02:07:01.522 --> 02:07:06.782
Okay, so I now have Barebones and Forestful Bush, so they're not overlapping now.
02:07:07.762 --> 02:07:09.822
I am so excited.
02:07:10.942 --> 02:07:15.802
It's going to be so much fun. The session one I have planned out, super stoked.
02:07:16.602 --> 02:07:20.542
I can't do session two until you guys finish session one, but,
02:07:21.422 --> 02:07:26.702
yeah okay okay well you know session one is probably going to be two parts to
02:07:26.702 --> 02:07:33.322
you know so i mean session one is going to be session one.
02:07:37.287 --> 02:07:43.987
You all are in charge of, so a couple of things for the planning of it all.
02:07:44.067 --> 02:07:47.807
I don't plan to take a whole lot of time with travel.
02:07:48.147 --> 02:07:51.527
You all, however, are going to be in charge of where you're traveling to.
02:07:51.687 --> 02:07:53.287
That will make more sense after session one.
02:07:53.927 --> 02:07:59.487
And if it takes longer to do something than we anticipate, then that's fine.
02:07:59.647 --> 02:08:00.707
I mean, I said eight sessions.
02:08:00.887 --> 02:08:04.187
That's kind of what I'm aiming for. However, you all have been in,
02:08:04.487 --> 02:08:08.607
most of you have played in a one shot with me how often does that it has never
02:08:08.607 --> 02:08:13.807
happened i mean i'm i thought i was being generous saying hey like me put eight
02:08:13.807 --> 02:08:20.367
shots right what's your longest one shot it's still going on,
02:08:21.607 --> 02:08:27.747
how many how many have you done it so far three is three is the longest since
02:08:27.747 --> 02:08:37.067
uh completing however Ashes of Tomorrow was never finished however this finishes Ashes of Tomorrow.
02:08:40.387 --> 02:08:43.567
Sage and Goldie I think are the only two or is that right?
02:08:44.107 --> 02:08:48.567
You will find out how it ends,
02:08:50.607 --> 02:08:54.647
Oh my gosh Which
02:08:54.647 --> 02:08:58.347
brings me to Which brings me
02:08:58.347 --> 02:09:06.347
to my next question okay bringing a close to the idea of the session expectations
02:09:06.347 --> 02:09:15.507
lines and vials x cards we we did all this one thing i wanted to ask you all about is how difficult,
02:09:16.287 --> 02:09:22.627
would you like the combat to be take in mind for the for the purposes of this
02:09:22.627 --> 02:09:26.027
mini series like Like, there won't be any additional characters.
02:09:27.147 --> 02:09:29.927
So if you die, you're dead.
02:09:30.647 --> 02:09:35.387
Then you get to watch us, you know, like, watch the stream for the rest of the
02:09:35.387 --> 02:09:37.607
time and be like, hi, guys.
02:09:39.887 --> 02:09:43.507
Go team, go. You could still hop in. I mean, you're more than welcome to be
02:09:43.507 --> 02:09:45.647
like, I'd like to help an ally. And I'd be like, no.
02:09:47.687 --> 02:09:52.627
Not from beyond the grave. Can I just, like, wear X's over my eyes and just sit here?
02:09:54.747 --> 02:09:56.267
I could let you borrow the mask.
02:09:59.167 --> 02:10:01.907
That is a good question. How difficult do we want to make it?
02:10:02.327 --> 02:10:05.907
Before you said that, I had an answer. But now that you've said that,
02:10:06.027 --> 02:10:07.187
I don't know what my answer is.
02:10:07.627 --> 02:10:12.927
So let me, first off, for the tone to draw from, this is what I drew for writing this.
02:10:13.647 --> 02:10:20.927
The top answers were heroic, tragic, high fantasy. Only one person selected difficult combat.
02:10:22.271 --> 02:10:26.911
Another person wrote an additional tragic. So I guess tragic is probably the highest.
02:10:27.891 --> 02:10:36.651
Let's go. This is my time. I think no emotional drama, high fantasy, heroic, tragic.
02:10:36.891 --> 02:10:42.431
We're the for difficulty level. Like I'd be because it's like a new for everybody
02:10:42.431 --> 02:10:46.791
pretty much starting off a little easier, but then maybe ramping up as we go.
02:10:47.751 --> 02:10:54.011
Yeah, I say that we play maybe a session or two and figure out the combat system
02:10:54.011 --> 02:10:58.271
and maybe level up once or something like that before we really decide.
02:10:58.671 --> 02:11:01.511
Definitely easy at first because we don't know what we're doing.
02:11:04.171 --> 02:11:09.051
I mean, it being easy doesn't mean you won't die because of it being a new system.
02:11:10.371 --> 02:11:15.571
Having a new system could ramp up the difficulty class, but I'll try to keep
02:11:15.571 --> 02:11:17.771
it light but still have some stakes.
02:11:18.831 --> 02:11:24.231
I mean, it would be... Belt says, your character died, you're an illusionary
02:11:24.231 --> 02:11:26.131
ghost that the other players can see in here.
02:11:28.531 --> 02:11:32.651
Just walking along some. One thing that was good with the damage thresholds
02:11:32.651 --> 02:11:34.591
is there's no accidental one-shots.
02:11:36.891 --> 02:11:41.851
So it's not like a, oops, this really big hit just killed you right off the bat.
02:11:43.071 --> 02:11:47.151
The max it can do is really hard to die at level one. Unless you choose to and
02:11:47.151 --> 02:11:48.031
go out on a blaze of glory.
02:11:49.011 --> 02:11:53.391
After the first couple of sessions where it's easy-ish, you know,
02:11:53.511 --> 02:11:57.011
so we can kind of get used to combat in general, after that,
02:11:57.211 --> 02:12:02.231
by the end, like, there should be challenge, right?
02:12:02.391 --> 02:12:07.591
Obviously, it needs to feel challenging. It can't be heroic if,
02:12:07.731 --> 02:12:11.931
like, a little, you know, if it could have just been a party full of children
02:12:11.931 --> 02:12:13.551
that threw around rocks.
02:12:13.551 --> 02:12:18.671
So what I'm what I'm hearing is that you need me to make it tragic in the beginning
02:12:18.671 --> 02:12:24.631
without it being difficult combat at the beginning.
02:12:24.991 --> 02:12:29.991
I got yes, I would be OK if my character ended up dying halfway through,
02:12:30.111 --> 02:12:32.271
you know, like I'm cool with that.
02:12:32.371 --> 02:12:34.951
If that's something that if it was that difficult, you know,
02:12:35.031 --> 02:12:39.691
the challenge was there. And obviously people can die from, you know,
02:12:40.071 --> 02:12:44.051
doing things that aren't necessarily the best choices.
02:12:44.131 --> 02:12:48.351
But like, if you do everything kind of like to the best of your character,
02:12:48.611 --> 02:12:51.611
and you still die, and like everyone did a good job.
02:12:52.690 --> 02:12:56.170
That's a challenge. You know, that's something. It's different than someone
02:12:56.170 --> 02:13:00.770
just being like, oh, well, I'm this wizard and I'm going to go be their shield.
02:13:03.790 --> 02:13:11.570
You are not their shield. Yeah. But yeah, so basically, I would be OK with me
02:13:11.570 --> 02:13:17.090
dying halfway through as long as, you know, out of it being difficult enough to do that.
02:13:17.870 --> 02:13:21.990
Maybe revisit the question after a couple of sessions. Yeah, for sure. For sure.
02:13:23.370 --> 02:13:27.010
I thought you said something about the grief sets in after a couple of sessions. I was like, yeah.
02:13:29.870 --> 02:13:34.530
That does too, though. Jeez, never goes away. I'm expecting it to set in.
02:13:34.870 --> 02:13:37.550
Like a scar that takes away one of my hit points.
02:13:39.130 --> 02:13:46.130
And hope points. Session three, we're all edge forwards. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:13:48.430 --> 02:13:53.350
Everyone's in the corner of a tavern hoods up. it doesn't matter what our color
02:13:53.350 --> 02:13:56.510
scheme was before in session two it is now,
02:13:57.570 --> 02:14:03.930
it's all black all right so i'm ahead of the game just just to sort of kind
02:14:03.930 --> 02:14:07.090
of close it out we're coming to the end of this i need to check my agenda to
02:14:07.090 --> 02:14:12.070
see what i missed but i want to talk a little bit about how we're gonna how
02:14:12.070 --> 02:14:16.270
we're gonna do combat it's different than anything I've done before.
02:14:16.810 --> 02:14:20.570
And hopefully it's something that is enjoyable for you all.
02:14:21.902 --> 02:14:26.302
Not cumbersome. So my idea with this whole thing, any of you who have played
02:14:26.302 --> 02:14:30.182
with me before, you know that I usually do it on Foundry and we get all into
02:14:30.182 --> 02:14:32.782
the little bells and whistles of Foundry and yada, yada, yada.
02:14:33.462 --> 02:14:39.142
In our last session, I think I gave players a little bit too much control and
02:14:39.142 --> 02:14:43.102
we had a Leroy Jenkins moment and that sort of got us into a spot that was hard.
02:14:43.902 --> 02:14:47.982
That said, based on the way that this game system works and the way that I kind
02:14:47.982 --> 02:14:51.902
of want to try doing things in the near future i'm trying to take a more tabletop
02:14:51.902 --> 02:14:53.102
approach so you won't have,
02:14:53.662 --> 02:14:56.802
a character that you can control you're going to be theater
02:14:56.802 --> 02:14:59.702
of the mind anything that we use is going to be purely for
02:14:59.702 --> 02:15:04.862
your reference within the environment so
02:15:04.862 --> 02:15:10.402
i thought this might be a fun little thing to do let's fade over there are you
02:15:10.402 --> 02:15:19.462
watching the stream yep okay so we are going to use tailspire for our our virtual
02:15:19.462 --> 02:15:24.262
minis we will not be using tailspire to its full capabilities.
02:15:25.242 --> 02:15:28.162
However for points of reference we're going
02:15:28.162 --> 02:15:30.922
to have minis and tailspire you will
02:15:30.922 --> 02:15:33.782
be able to say i want them to move close range to
02:15:33.782 --> 02:15:38.022
this person i will move them for you and then you will make your roll tell me
02:15:38.022 --> 02:15:41.382
what it is you will utilize your sheet you will mark things off your sheet specifically
02:15:41.382 --> 02:15:46.682
so we won't have that like vtt feel hopefully we have more of a tabletop feel
02:15:46.682 --> 02:15:53.462
i hope you guys are cool with that yeah yeah perfect yeah awesome i mean no i'm kidding it's fine,
02:15:53.982 --> 02:15:57.602
of course i already made your minis.
02:16:00.382 --> 02:16:10.342
Do i get to see them that looks nothing like change it i can i can totally change it oh my gosh,
02:16:10.862 --> 02:16:20.722
get closer yes yeah i can't i can't use i'm blind oh my god my minute is way too cool,
02:16:21.522 --> 02:16:25.762
i can i can scuff them up a little bit if you prefer the
02:16:25.762 --> 02:16:28.902
ones that were the most challenging were the scarecrow and the
02:16:28.902 --> 02:16:31.602
mushroom person they don't have either of
02:16:31.602 --> 02:16:34.342
those two things your scarecrow has lightning coming out of his hands
02:16:34.342 --> 02:16:40.502
i hope that's okay i thought that looked kind of yes probably shorter
02:16:40.502 --> 02:16:44.602
yeah yeah I
02:16:44.602 --> 02:16:47.302
think I can only get it so short but I'll see if I
02:16:47.302 --> 02:16:52.222
can do a little better yeah I think Phoenix is like around my height we were
02:16:52.222 --> 02:16:58.902
talking about it I think uh I think Echo he's a little bit taller than me all
02:16:58.902 --> 02:17:03.262
right I'll get Echo as low as possible actually you know what I don't even think
02:17:03.262 --> 02:17:05.622
I need to do anything gosh there's a Thank you.
02:17:06.364 --> 02:17:09.004
Oh, that's not that small. That's better.
02:17:12.324 --> 02:17:13.044
That's adorable.
02:17:18.824 --> 02:17:23.244
So the idea is that we'll just have another thing and you'll just be like,
02:17:23.304 --> 02:17:24.604
hey, I want to move within whatever.
02:17:24.844 --> 02:17:29.444
So we'll be able to see the tiles and the distances and we can sort of zoom
02:17:29.444 --> 02:17:31.844
in and we won't have to worry about everyone,
02:17:32.664 --> 02:17:35.304
logging into a thing and learning something else it's just going
02:17:35.304 --> 02:17:39.684
to be points of reference use your sheets mark off your sheets as you would
02:17:39.684 --> 02:17:44.644
and this is just meant to be like yeah just like a visual so so that's how i
02:17:44.644 --> 02:17:52.084
want to do it cool yeah that's awesome so to wrap it up we did the virtual we
02:17:52.084 --> 02:17:53.364
did kind of virtual minis.
02:17:54.684 --> 02:17:59.324
Feedback questions oh schedule we can do that before we finish we obviously
02:17:59.324 --> 02:18:02.544
won't do anything around the holidays. We'll just... Yeah.
02:18:03.024 --> 02:18:08.384
I should be fine. Or we just do like silly one shots for the holidays. We could do that.
02:18:09.084 --> 02:18:11.984
Christmas one. Everyone feels ready for session one?
02:18:12.584 --> 02:18:15.644
We got some time, but everyone feels otherwise ready for session one?
02:18:16.184 --> 02:18:17.764
Yeah. All right. All right, cool.
02:18:18.324 --> 02:18:22.044
I'm super excited. I'm going to definitely have hype videos and stuff.
02:18:22.204 --> 02:18:26.804
You all have the general gist of the story. I've been kind of not sending it
02:18:26.804 --> 02:18:29.664
out just so that we can sort of talk about it and reveal it more during this.
02:18:29.664 --> 02:18:32.624
Also it's a lot of work but here we are we're ready
02:18:32.624 --> 02:18:35.544
to go yeah all right
02:18:35.544 --> 02:18:39.364
