Agreed, Cahir. I love FR for its vastness and richness. It's a multi-decades long project with countless contributors and it shows. Mass Effect isn't as vast or rich but it's brilliant. I'd love to see more of the ME world.

My favorite fantasy world is one that I developed myself, with a small assist from Boo, lol The story takes place on Earth in the 1970’s. Space hamsters from another universe are using inter-dimensional quantum manipulation devices to influence the minds of disco musicians. Their intention is...

Good point! I think we should fix that for our Diana, lol. If Balthazar can use the Staff of Rhynn in David Gaider's mod. I'd be 100% cool with editing a few staves for a monk Diana. And in any case, each of the characters should get a personal item based on the weapons and such in the cartoon...

Thanks for sharing!

Very cool! I'd love to see one of those vids! And, btw, in case it wasn't clear, I didn't mean to slight Antimatter in any way. The "shared no reloader DNA" comment was just a reference to my long standing friendship with Serg. We've been playing and posting together for over a decade :)

Yes! Diana, the acrobat. She'd translate best as a monk, imo.

Makes sense. There are a multitude of factors that influence balancing. Starting XP is one of many considerations. Fortunately the additional starting XP can be evaded, to the extent that it is a concern.

Quick Note on Astrid's Game: Astrid will fight on Insane. Here's her hype song heading into the final battle. Wish her luck! A.

Both excellent arguments! Tough call! (I'm leaning in your direction, though, Serg. I think it's our shared No Reloader DNA, lol)

Astrid, Halfling Priest of Talos: The Pocket Plane Challenges With the exception of the very first challenge prior to Saradush, in the specific case of a good path character with SCS, I've always found the Pocket Plane challenges excruciatingly straightforward. They are of interest to some...

Intersting! I still haven't tried Siege of Dragonspear. My main concern is that it will unbalance SoA, due to the extra experience and importable items. Can you comment on that? EDIT: Now that I think about it, there's an obvious way around this problem. You can play SoD, but still import your...

Astrid, Halfling Priest of Talos: Balthazar Following her defeat of Abazigal, Astrid was all: And Balthazar was all: It wouldn't be easy to find a meeting of the minds between them. But our intreprid priest of Talos seems to always find a way. Perhaps she did again. First, there was the...

Astrid, Halfling Priest of Talos: Abazigal When I decided to roll a solo cleric, my thought process was simple: she'll probably die in Abazigal's lair, but I'm ok with that. I'm pleased to report that Astrid surprised me. She prevailed. And who does she have to thank? OrlonKronsteen, albeit...

Astrid, Halfling Priest of Talos: Draconis Draconis has, once again, succumbed to a severe case of daddy issues. Having killed Draconis over and over again, in run after run, I'm no longer afraid of him. I just feel sorry for him. I mean, really sorry for him. Walk through this with me. And in...

A reasonable concern, but I think we'll be ok. We've added five so far since the API protest arose, one since the actual closure. Guest numbers have remained modest. Redditors are more likely to be drawn to Discord or a replacement subreddit. It is, after all, a self-selecting set of people...

Astrid, Halfling Priest of Talos: Sendai Yes, Imoen. It's time to move. Or, more precisely, it's time to groove. It's party time. And there's only one song we're dancing to. Hit it, Cespenar. For those who are wondering, no: Imoen and Valygar did not fight alongside Astrid. Astrid did...

Smart move. She's a lot scarier than I am, lol. From the SCS Read Me: Alignment-appropriate fiends (BG2EE,BG2,BGT,EET) The fiend-summoning spells (Cacofiend, Summon Fiend, Gate) are a little inconsistent in the kinds of fiends they summon: Cacofiend and Summon Fiend summon chaotic evil...

Excellent choice. If more people join in maybe we can make this a thing, lol. Btw, did you ever see the finale, Requiem? A fan made a cartoon of it in 2020, based on the original 1985 script that was never produced and the 2006 audio drama of that script. It looks great, almost like a real...

Agreed! When I share runs, I like to take the sensibilities of my audience in mind, though. Consider it part of my house rules, lol. Thanks for the feedback. Astrid appreciates your support.

Astrid, Halfling Priest of Talos: Sendai's Enclave Now that we're in ToB, balors are the new skeleton warriors. That's Astrid's opinion, at least. The balors acquitted themselves well in the opening fight, once they got on the ground. As per usual, they stubbornly refused to move forward...
