Spoiler:
As i understand "someone" else seems to be involving in the main plot (in particular in "toys in the attic" and "glass houses")! ;) But just a remark: as you have done in the campain summary with the explanation of the Deceiver cabal, i think MJ should be aware of what lies behind a story, otherwise it's like to be blind in a certain way and it's very frustrating ... ;)

I asked Michael (who is unable to respond due to technical issues) and below is his response:
Spoiler:
  1. The ritual does do something, but you are correct in stating it has nothing to do with locating the map pieces. This feeds into their plan carried out in Brain Scratch (LoB 108), but the full extent isn't revealed to player characters until LoB 112. Stay tuned for that release coming down our pipeline.
  2. This is something players may pick up on. However, by this point in the adventure the deceivers took steps to ensure the characters are none-the-wiser. This ties into the ritual from your previous question and will be revealed in LoB 112.
Hopefully this offers as much clarity as possible,

Best regards,

Morgan

Spoiler:
1-If the deceivers are behind the thief of the map pieces in « Toys in the attic » they already know where they are hidden, right ? So why the deceivers need to realise a ritual in « that which was lost » to determine where the map pieces are hidden ? it’s a nonsense, isn’t it ?
2-if the deceivers try to not reveal their true nature, asking some mantis eggs to the PC (which is fun for the game but very suspicious otherwise) to prepare an omelets is not very smart ?
Thanks for yours responses

2020-06-27T20:33:192020-06-27T20:33:19 http://fasagames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1905&p=13980#p13980 <![CDATA[Legends of Barsaive • Characters book questions]]> https://fasagames.com/earthdawn/long-li ... y-26-2020/ and the upcoming compendium of LoB adventures, I've been going over the LoB books again and have some questions.

The questions about the Characters book come from the idea that LoB is supposed to be a living campaign where players at conventions could end up playing with players who are from different places around the country/world. In that case, I assume the expectation is that the players will be coming from a clear and common set of campaign rules to minimize disagreements about what is and isn't allowed. I've played many living campaigns in the past and having unclear campaign rules caused many disagreements.

For character creation, these don't seem to have been not been updated since the PG and GMG were the only rulebooks. Since then there have been additional options for characters.
1) Are Shamans an allowed discipline?
2) Are player characters allowed to be questors?

The Characters book also doesn't cover character advancement. It may have seemed obvious with only the PG and GMG, but with additional books come additional questions. I've included those questions in my downtime questions.

What are the rules for downtime between scenarios? There are a lot of things that a player may want to do and not have time during a four hour slot at a convention. It saves time at the table if players are able to do non-scenario specific things when they aren't playing at a convention.

Are there any restrictions on:
1) Raising talents between scenarios?
2) Training for circles between scenarios? Can player characters train other player characters rather than using the 4th level mentors of the adventuring companies?
3) Weaving threads to a group pattern?
4) Player characters forming their own group patterns instead of joining one of the 5 adventuring companies?
5) Learning additional disciplines? If it is allowed, is it assumed there are 5th circle adepts available to teach the new discipline?
6) Joining paths? If it is allowed, are there restrictions on advancing in a path?
7) Are characters allowed to buy knacks? Are knacks from all books allowed?
8) Gaining talents through versatility?
9) Getting animal companions? If it is allowed, are animal companions from all books allowed?
10) Buying items? Are there limits by rarity or by the book the item is from?
11) Enchanting items? If allowed, can recipies from any book be used?

Additional downtime questions:
1) How much time passes between scenarios? This could be a limiter on most of the questions above as well as the having to wait a year and day when switching to a different adventuring company.
2) Are there lifestyle costs?

Thought I would post an informal request on the forums to see which mods folks need for their characters / would like to see run. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks.

[Also, if you would like an email once the event schedule is sorted, just send a message.]

(Our store tech person need to set them up and turning them on. Given what's going on in the world right now, and his day gig as a network admin, I don't know what his time management allows for at the moment.)

For #3: Yes. We rushed to get "Games of the Hungry" in print for GenCon last year, but overlooked ever getting it set up in the store. The numbering scheme for the adventures was been mildly borked up for a while, and as a result we didn't have a "missing chapter number" on the store to realize it wasn't there.

Fortunately, several of the chapters in the campaign are independent side quests, and don't rely overmuch on previous events. Games of the Hungry is one of those, and fits into the narrative wherever you might like.

2. Is there an ETA when 'Games of the Hungry' is going to be on DriveThruRPG?
3. Is 'Games of the Hungry' supposed to be between 'That Which Was Lost' and 'Glass Houses'? The adventures seem to have been renumbered with 'Games of the Hungry' inserted in between existing adventures.

Speaking of which, is the FEC still a thing?
The Freedonian Engineering Corps (FEC) is the official demo and playtesting group for FASA Games, Inc. We travel to conventions to run games and also get to playtest games before they are released.
Thank you,

Daniel

Sounds great, thanks for the answer.
Spoiler:
But shouldn't it be then even more important to get feedback if the eggs were eaten?
When the guys get back from Origins I'll point them here to make sure I'm not remembering something incorrectly.

I'm currently editing the German version of "LoB04 That which was lost" and and I came across a question:
Spoiler:
p 21: Delivery to Xaolete (of the Black mantis' eggs) wrote:Unfortunately, eating the omelet will have later repercussions.
Since there is no hint to those repercussions in this adventure, I guess it will be part of one of the followings. But shouldn't there then be a field on the Chapter Summary "Black Mantis egg eaten Y/N" or is this considered to much of a spoiler that something might come?
The Legends guys are at Origins right now, but here's what I recall from their internal spec docs. (SIGNIFICANT SPOILERS)
Spoiler:
There is a Horror operating behind the scenes, and over these early adventures some of the NPCs get replaced by Dopplers. Xaolete is one of them, and uses the black mantis eggs to spread influence and corruption.
We are working on an omnibus version of the first 8 adventures that will have a bit more background info and tweak some of the things we've learned running these scenarios multiple times at conventions over the past few years.
