Has anyone actually made the rift boots? I know they were taken out before the final version, but I feel like they could make for a cool item. For now I'm sort of operating under similar rules to boots of escape but with some modifications. My version is currently only capable of being used once per day and then charged through "kinetic energy" as determined by doing things for the rest of the day or a few hours the next day. Also they currently can only do 50 feet, but a character with an item crafting feat could upgrade them at a lab.

If anyone else has statted these up I'd like to see what they came up with.

I've been foreshadowing Unity a lot more. For instance, when they had the vision of the Chrysalis shuttle crash, I had Unity's icon appear on the screen.

A character who's been trying to contact the Akashic record for information about Numeria (which i initially blocked because framing the results of the checks was taking me too long) broke through when she saw the symbol (which coincided with the time I figured out how to do Akashic communion quickly). The in-game explanation being that Unity's information had somehow been blocked in the Akashic Record. Something like a broken hyperlink where the information is still there but you have to go through a back door to get to it.

I have since given her visions of Unity as a caged and withered angel trying to break free. In one of these visions she accepted a "gift" from Unity which has manifested as a a "Machine Spirit" with a few powers borrowed from other classes and items in the technology guide.

I've also been trying to present Unity as much more Lawful Neutral or even Lawful Good in most foreshadowing. I changed the drawings in Hellion's lair to a depiction of a Solar trapped within Divinity.

Over book three and four I'm going to play with the shaman's connection a bit more, framing it in similar terms to Cassandalee's original contact. I'm framing Cassandalee as an actual traitor on similar lines to Hellion until the party actually figures out the evil nature of Unity.

Hi, I realize it's been quiet for a bit here, but I'm just about to start Choking Tower. One of my players is an LN android witch who has personally stated that she wants to rescue all androids from eventual extinction by 1) not killing any android they encounter, and 2) finding a way to create new androids.

Now I'm sure there can be great player discussion about whether the androids in the Aurora should even continue to live, if perhaps their existence is too painful and all that, but that's kind of a conversation I want to leave within the party. This could also be a good way of confronting her ideal goal of never killing any android.

What I'm interested in as a GM is if it's possible to restore the android foundry. I would assume this process would take a very long time and a lot of magic, tech, and gold. Has anyone run this as a possibility with satisfactory results?

Obviously I'd be willing to do this over the course of several books, so it would kind of just start here.
