    That Edbert flashback sequence was *so* well done, major kudos. When he fell asleep again afterwards and the flashback sequence started again, the only thing I could say was "Dude, that's effed up..." Phenomenal stuff, I'm majorly invested in this series even though I know Simon won't die for at least 7 more episodes!

    I laughed my ass off that you said that killing the necromancer wouldn't count towards atonement. What I was thinking/hoping would happen is she would walk out of the wreckage as a near mortal again. That's probably how I would have crafted that, but sounds like you have something else in mind for these two. Looking forward to seeing what it is.

  • @jakkfamily61
    @jakkfamily61 Před 2 lety

    Sincerely wondering...I've rolled extensively and Im unsure if I've missed something. So the focus table with the modifiers doesn't ever come up with a random discovery or bandit encounter or even creature encounter. Even the random event on the chart bases your decision on the event verbs and nouns which very rarely give you a creature or bandit or ruin or cave encounter. So whilst you're roaming around the woods...plains or mountains...where do the creatures come in or a lair or a cave or just a random event? Or stumble across a town? Or an artifact? Or do you base all of it off the event modifiers? I had to add a sub table to add these events. How do you do it?

    • @corybanticfire
      @corybanticfire Před 8 měsíci

      The Perlious Wilds book has some journey/exploration rules for this. With Mythic, it's more of an interrupt scene. Or asking if you're ambushed or stumble upon dangers.

    I really did not like that back story for Cherylin. It would be more interesting if he did something treacherous, like sell her put to the enemy necromancer. Or abandon her and run after all the other mercenaries died. This story just makes her out to be a bi*ch
