"Acquiring Followers Characters can recruit congregants by performing charitable deeds, sending out missionaries, casting spells charitably on peasants, and constructing shrines and temples. For every 1,000 gold pieces spent a month doing these activities, 1d10 followers + 1 per 2 points of charisma you possess join you. If a month passess and action is taken to join new followers and you do not spend at least 1 week ministering to your current congregation, then you will lose 1d4p followers. Why would you acquire followers? Followers have a bond score (morale) that increases over time. Each follower provides spiritual energy equal to their bond in gold pieces per month for any magical activity you engage in. This lowers the cost of crafting magic items, casting ritual spells, or creating constructs. It can also lower the cost of any construction projects you take on in the interim, because your loyal followers work and donate their time without recompenses."
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
Pre-gen from Frank Mentzer's module, The Needle , 1987. I knew this was insulting and gross when I was 14. At the time I didn't know who Frank was, since I only played AD&D. I found this module again when I was going through a box of old stuff and was surprised he wrote it, because I thought it was a pretty shitty adventure.
