Having a slight issue on this spell. It is being cast on a creature with immunity to magic. but, it is encasing them in ice, which, IMO isn't directly targeting them with magic, only their immediate periphery? Or am I overthinking it?

Overthinking it. The spell targets the creature, the spell allows Spell Resistance, so Magic Immunity (which is generally considered 100% spell resistance) will work unless some other factor is in play.

It is directly targeting them, even if the effect is something around them. Like creating a tornado or resilient sphere. You target them, then a sphere of force forms around them.

Thanks! Although this will probably make my wizzy player cry

Blayze is back!

And explosively so. :)

Guess who's back? back again? Blayze is back. Tell your friends!

Also - I am working on transitioning this map to Roll20. The Silver Rose map is working OK there. Not flashy like PS, but it conveys the basics, and that's what we need to play

Have you ever looked at Tableplop? It’s a simple vtt that happens to work really well for PbP, and it’s more mobile-friendly than Roll20.

I will check it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

Fun fact: Force, as a raw energy source, not as a spell, is one of the hardest things to resist.

Just tossing this out again for anyone who wants - we have a dedicated discussion thread for the game on the Discord

Discord Invite

I hate to say it, but this will be the 'bolt hole' should anything go belly up here.

Hey Mark, just a heads up - the Silver Rose Gang is in a pretty tight scrape, and Blayze could be a clutch player. IDK if you want to post up or not, but they could use the help :)

PHOTOSHOP!!!!!!!!

Ruh roh, I never did get healed form that damage I took destroying that room, this crit is going to hurt real bad....

Let’s assume that Mel would have healed you on the two hour walk to the village. I don’t think there’s any way he would’ve let you sit there dripping blood. You should’ve spoken up you’ve got a healer bought with tons of healing.

Alright, I should have, been distracted with RL and all lately... :-(

Dude. Right there with you. Believe me, I get it

The kids are too stoned to notice

Ok. Rolling into a long weekend- hopefully will have some bandwidth to post :D

I spent the whole week in Federal Acquisition Regulations class. I'm glad it went away!

Hang tough! I’m just getting back to my stuff too

Ack! I should have waved at you too Mark! waves belatedly . Although you were in Kansas. So many New Yorkers in my games. I should schedule a pick up game next time I have to spend six hours in JFK LOL

Just got back on Thursday. Came down with Airline cold (of course.). Then had dental surgery today, because why not torture myself further?\

I will try to update soonish folks. Guyana was an adventure. Definitely an experience.

On my way to Guyana. On a layover in NYC as I type this (waves at Shadow and Max). I have no idea about connection, but I might post. We’ll see.

Yeah. As a matter of fact, although it’s been freaking forever in real world time, it’s been relatively little time since the ooze fight. I make it thus :

Ooze fight -
10 minutes figuring out portal
Land on pyramid
Polyp fight
10 minutes mayhem and destruction
2 hrs leisurely walk to ebon tower.

Hi folks. July has been a crazy and bad month. Just wanted to put out that I will be traveling next week, but I’ve updated- and I will continue to update as I can.

Seriously folks, I want to get this back on schedule. I will be traveling next week, but I should have some time before that to at least get us rolling

AHHH! A wizard!

Sorry for the quietude. I am trying my best to keep current- but this month has not been easy. I am going out of country next week as well. - July is just being a bear. I am hoping once July is out of the way that August will lend itself to easier work

I did finally cut the Gordian knot of my old computer. I bought a photoshop subscription- so when I get some time I have to set up some new maps. My old maps were destroyed, sadly ( I thought I had saved them - alas). So it might take a while, but bit by bit.

I feel you. Still trying to organize my own shiznick

Hear you on the bad week. Hope the weekend is better

I will be traveling for the fourth. Just putting that out preemptively. I might be able to post, as long as it isn't too complex.

Hey all,

I'm taking another lil' trip. To see my family in Oklahoma. So I'll be out next week for the 4th of july.

I will try to keep up, but I expect posting opportunities to be few.
Please forgive my absence, and 'bot my toon(s) as needed.

See you all when I get back!

Pre-emptive 4th of July! :)

I will also be traveling for the fourth. Just putting that out pre-emptively. I might be able to post, as long as it isn't too complex.

Certain things can be difficult, but old tech has its down sides as well. This site has many crufty proprietary features I'd love to update. Especially the downloads. It's not the only one. Most RPG game sites are terrible when it comes to accessing PDFs you've bought.

Folks, I have been thinking about some stuff lately, and how technology has been changing. For instance, I have always not liked the PM system here. So, I am proposing that for communication since I no longer use any social media platforms outside of LinkedIn, I would invite you to my personal Discord server. There you can notify me of anything through DMs by friending me, I can post art or maps or anything else and if we have conversations we can reference them without the annoying parsing that comes with the system here. So here is an invite link. It will be good for seven days as of today - so up to 7/5 iirc

INVITE

I know Shadow you mentioned you hate it, but you have my phone number, so you can just text me ;)

Heh. At least you get to retire

I’m about caught up now. I’m hoping that I can get some serious game updates set this weekend

Thank you! Unfortunately my work welcomed me back too lol

It’s a platform, like any other. It takes getting used to, but it has its charms. Having voice, video, and text channels is nice

Hi folks. Sorry for the prolonged silence. My bad. I was trying to be better with my communication, but I failed. I actually went on vacation, and just got back. I don’t have a good excuse- I should have mentioned it, but I got spun up with everything that needed doing as I got prepping. However, I hope to carve out some time for some updates today, including- just maybe- reinvigorating my photoshop suite. We shall see.

Stay tuned and stay chill!

I feel ya shads!

Plus, I’m not sure what’s going on but i haven’t been able to get on the site a lot this week. At least when I have been able to try

So, you can see from the time gap between posts what things have been like. I had meant to post that Memnon post directly after that first one. Boy howdy.

Hi folks. Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. I was super busy, so i didn’t have a lot of time to update anything, but I am hoping to rectify that piecemeal this week.

Ok. Going to have a bit of time to update (finally)

I’m going to do one mulligan. Just because I’d like to give you folks concrete directions rather than have you spend the summer searching around for the way out.

Somehow I feel taking advice on dealing with women from a barbarian falls in the same bucket as asking him for tech support
