hehe
THIS IS A BIG ONE GUYS
Thatās some action movie shit for yāall
Just in time!
(itās spelled Irtia, by the way)
Deities in pagan religions were often defined by their mutations across cultures including in naming/spelling okay
A feature I am consciously playing with in No Rangers Allowed! Fattgrisās view of Irtia is a mutation of Irtia as according to Ven!
This was a conscious choice on my part and I was worried that I was setting out a canon when all I want to do is set out āno one knows the real story, myth is weirdā
Well it is a little different in D&D seeing as deities are literal beings and so there probably is an objective history of the things theyāve done out there. Not that that history couldnāt be mythologized and mutated obviously.
That happens to explicitly be the case with Irtia, but itās not required by D&D itself, at least I canāt think of a rules reason for it. Hell, paladins donāt even have to have a religion anymore
Iām coming to realize I should have put more thought into the religion that my dude who is a literal conduit for divine power follows
Ven started out as āa guy who likes the look of skulls on thingsā and I had to work backwards from there okay
So far BJ is just dirty guy with abusive dad and dead mom so youāre at least getting silver in the Backstory Olympics
I am going off of a gloranthan style āgods exist in myth time and all the myths about them are true but its a matter of how you look at it, the stories are different angles on a truth beyond mortal ken.ā
its the king of dragon pass/six ages setting, its a pretty big influence on how I think about mythology in games!
Especially since it rings very true to me, a person who was raised in some weird pagan micro religion (true as in accurate to non-formalized religious practices, I am a non-believing agnostic)
Oh shit we did not scour the wreckage for useful tech/dragon parts
Guys what have we overlooked in our constant exhaustion
I guess I assumed the whole thing was just rubble! Didnāt even askā¦
Ven is not eager to go back in there at any rate
Didnāt the episode just end after the explosion? I guess I couldnāt know if there were some developments edited from the podcast. Is it possible the party is now safely resting nearby a hoard of treasures?
Theyāre talking about the next session, which we played earlier this week.
So spoiler I guess we totes just stumble out into the swamp and try to forget about the blowed-up wreckage forever.
This is the immediate deadening period before PTSD sets in
Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
Great to hear the next session is in the can.
Putting them in the can is trivial, itās getting them out thatās the hard part
