ITT we have a conversation about a setting that doesn't exist

>he thinks Inneros won't be sent straight to the Unmanifest once the Abomiknights get to the Cradle of Life
>>
>>52937732
Oh, please. We all know the Counter-Empire is going to turn out to have sabotaged it like they do every other nexus. Stilton's been hinting at that over in the dev commentary on the Crimson Tower forums for months, the only way it's not happening is if it was all one big red herring. And he doesn't have the self-control to pull that sort of twist. Remember back when half the plot of Beyond All Reasonable Knowledge got leaked back in 2019?

Friendly reminder that the Rebellion has been exposed twice to be evil and the Counter-Emperor dindunuffin.

Daily reminder that if you like the Unflarked, you're wrong. Not even subjectively wrong, objectively wrong. They're a blight on the setting and an obvious pandering cash grab.

Everytime. The authors clearly have indicated, if you could only read between the lines, that the Unmanifest is going to remove the curse. Once it's gone, the Unmanifest will be able to utilize it fully.

Can't say I have, but I have noticed strange behaviors when channeling the plane's power.

I swear to fucking Christ, the only reason Queen Lusscen even has a fucking following is because of the only piece of canon art has her barefoot.

What about the curse that Lutheross' lich brother placed on the gauntlet in case someone would ever break the obvious curse? It was hinted at in last month's novel 'Beyond the Robelstur Outpost'.

The only reason the Wolf-Thane jobbed so hard during the Doomgrave's March is to get the other Thanes on board with the Ivrean "Pillar League" bullshit, and you know it!

Boar-Thane did nothing wrong.

>>52938214
Oh fuck, you don't know?

Turns out anyone pierced by an Archlance has their soul ripped out and replaced by a Vermillion Entity. And then during the Fifth Eschaton, when the Archlances were shattered, all those souls flew right back into their bodies.

You know, so they can just erase all that shit he did in the Month of Blades and pin it on the Ebonfathers.

Faggots like you don't understand the sheer glorious power that was the Grocer Knight of the Horse or Pig Thane. Grocer Knight was the real counter to any horse-riding faggot. Why? Apples.

Seriously, these apples were a 'save or your horse drops you for apples' effect as well as extremely low damage. And since Grocer Knights in the lore and mechanics have unlimited apples, you keep throwing apples until they're off their horse. Not to mention, you could play a Cobbler and cast Reshoeing on them, thus putting the horse in a pair of fashionable foot high heels, causing them to have to roll Balance, which horses are shit at. Let's not get into the Philosiknight's Denial of Reality, where RAI you can consciously declare that horses do not exist and then fight as if it didn't.

But no, people with no skill beyond 'muh Wolf Thane' or 'muh Rebellion speed superior' crapped their giant baby diapers and refused to learn the tactics and shift the meta.

Hey guys. I was invited to fill in for someone missing in a game and introduced my character as an Auldrigvinter Nephanderite of Raphtalia. The GM immediately pulled a gun out from under the table and point it at me, motioned for me to hand over my character sheet, which I did, scanned it over making a couple corrections, handed it back, put the gun away, then started the game. I think the only reason he didn't pull the trigger was because I chose schitzophrime as my memetic domaine, rather than schizerphreme, which so many people are worried about. But I'm not sure, what is the general community consensus on this?

The thing is, without magic, what do the Dith have besides aquatic engineering, which is situational at best, and tunneling, which >>52938842 do better in every way?

They're never going to hack it at strategy, especially against the Inquirias who they're still at war with. There's no way this doesn't end in complete unmitigated genocide without some asspull to completely change who the Dith are as a people and personally I'd rather see them dead than lose their character.

Okay, so according to the Myriad Ways of Erget, which I know is CCG, but that's the only place you see the Wakoku lore updates since 4.5, Gekokujo won the border areas of the peninsula, so the rest of the setting thinks he won, since Kerotani raised the Great Sea Wall from the ocean floor and cut off the ports that could slip past the Are Gelus blockade. But the war is now down to Gekokujo, Gojoseon, and the Nakanu prophets council.

It only happens while you are in the counter-empire and it only happens retroactively in that continuity space. It's retconned from real space as soon as you leave unless you have Sun Theocracy spacetime hacks and even that only lasts as long as the user remembers his third name.

Remember when the Crimson Dindus decided to actually open that portal to the Unmanifest so that they could "ambush" The Thing That Treks? Apparently the sun got eclipsed by some manifestation of an Outsider, probably Muumah, and in the shade Sond saw how to "fight the enemy without from within".

Still, only two demons as of yet and they are autistic childrens' fears.

Dammit! I hate the Outsider church with their stupid OP gods, and if they use it to replace Navgad... There goes half the sudden war plotlines from the spy-mercenaries having nothing to do.

So that's what happened to them. Must've missed that update, I was having to work a venue in the middle of nowhere for three weeks at the time the lore archives say it was released.
Certainly explains why Ard Gelus (my tablet still autocorrects it to Are) didn't help them if its the god I think it is.

They wont. The whole plan is to have her fuck up Norv to hell and back just so they can finally fracture the Counter-Empire after they Northern territories leave Norv.

>>
>>52939467
Quartus has a hand in everything, if it had hands. On a higher level it's everyone and also not everyone.

On a practical the Crimson Knights have been infiltrated by Blood Magicians, who unlike them will lie their asses off and not own up to anything. That's why Zabaz and Katem are having such a hard time rooting them out. They're not prepared to deal with their bros lying to them. They way they handle this conspiracy could change the knight forever IF ONLY THEY WOULD PROGRESS THE FUCKING PLOT!

Lord of Birds was always trash you could only play one way: stacking small birds. There was no other way to win, its the most boring class in the game. Now we have actual options outside of the sparrow stack, you just have to experiment a little.

If they weren't the excuse for every fucking retcon for like five years, I think more people would be on board with them.

They're pretty damn rad though.

All right you young little shit, let me school you about the setting and why you're wrong. You see, this never was about 'pure' fantasy, there is plenty of shit in there which is either what we call magitek or outright technology. Granted I'm not even sure if 'Magitek' was even a word back in the '80 but bear with me on this.

There are plenty of shit introduced in the first two editions which show that the game was playing with fantasy and scifi cliches right off the bat:
>Abomiknights in the late '80 and early '90 had these intricate , almost baroque armor with tubes and shit make them look like some unholy offspring of a Fallout power armor, a diesel punk machine, an armored knight and some horrifically cheesy power metal album cover
>Chorjingian and all their genetic engineering, from eugenism to 'arcane' grafting and surgery. I don't care how much you say it isn't, but these guys are clearly performing genetic modifications just as much as selective breeding and transmutation
>Ageros is (or was, depend what version of the lore you're going with) a fucking magic-powered cyberpunk setting on its own, just with wizard!merchants

Who do you guys think would win in a fight, a Pale Mumbler or a squad of Abomiknights teaming up with an Exalted Trio of Dith? Obviously the situation is pretty contrived since I can't see a reason that those groups would work together, but I feel they could give a mumbler a run for its money.

You're forgetting when you could take the Falcon Heart with the Lord of birds.

He was Unstoppable then.

but now you can't do that anymore in the new edition.

>>52940442
That's going to be tackled in the upcoming The Tilting Mountain mini-adventure though. The preview describes the party helping Old Mendicrus travel to The Shawl to figure out how to make more.

That really depends on whether the Ebonfathers still have any connection to the Mumblers through their Azure Entities.

That retcon was pure bullshit too, falcons are totally a species of bird, not lizards. Pure biology fail right there, and all to stop that one guy from winning the RPG tournament and choosing the outcome they were going to ignore.

Well, the Pale Mumbler is greatly outnumbered.

I know that the last weekly blog revealed a stat block, and it did seem OP as fuck, but come on. Let's be sensible. The Pale Mumblers aren't THAT powerful. (Yet, we still have to see what the Brambled Prince and Hooker Queen decide to do this Fall.)

>No ones talking about the animated short where Otto Von Bismarck suddenly appears in the early Counter-Empire and fixes its early flaws
It may be non-canon, but it's may favorite thing about Bezzara. Can't we at least get stats for Bismarck in setting, and a reference or two to his importance to the Counter-Empire? I don't care that it breaks the setting by crossing into real life, it's totally in theme. Legends may have been a fan work, but it is literally the only reason anyone played this game past the first five years.

It's hard to say if anyone in this setting is really /ourguy/ with shit getting retconned basically every couple of months.

I will give him this, though. What they did with the horse archers on the Bason Steppe was pretty cool. It was like something out of a Sword and Sorcery novel.

Well if a mumbler is out by itself you know it's been given as many outer boons as they have vermin to sacrifice for it. The only reason the abomiknights have a chance in this scenario is the flayed pawn aura that the exalted can exude.
>>
>>52940785
The Inheritor is supposed to do something to the temples, but we haven't gotten to it yet because they can't just fucking pick somebody.

I bet the Elders finished magic, though. All of it.
>>
>>52940763
Yeah, but the fact that they declares that the city that the World Court, the main political event of the setting, was in to have just never existed is part of why I refuse to buy any of the books or updates these days. Kera Kanlos was perfect for every game, and to wipe it all away? Because a hard-line "no exceptions to the rules" faggot was in charge of nerfing mounts? I won't even pay to get past the Crimson Codex paywall, and that's the cheapest way to get all the lore. I just use the trove and half-price books for the lore updates now.
>>
I feel this setting should have an official name
>>
>>52940495
Bitch, an Abomiknight Energumen can destroy almost anything so I'm assuming you're going with a normal squad with no special units?
I'd still have to give it to AK+ET simply because of their numbers.

True, that could maybe tip the scales if they get the initiative. But they're sapping a stat that the mumbled barely cares about.

Honestly? Two guys in red robes in the background of some character art and the fact that smell and taste are important to blood magic. Senses that are noted as very sharp in Victorinius in both his statblock and the lore.

That and we already have the resident "no magic no trick WAR PROWESS ONLY" faction in the Inquirias.

Mice prince are interesting, I like how they were introduced in the 'Rotten throne' adventure book, How the DM is told to play up the comical angle.

But than you read there size which is 25ft on average and there abilities like the aura of rot and the ability to just keep vomiting demonic mice swarms every few minutes.
