That is reassuring to hear, hope I will keep doing it right in following sessions then.

Technocracy are ones of the main antagonists, but they're not entierly evil, they also forced reality to make vaccines to work, among other things. Nephandi on the other hand are worst of the worst, only Pentex and Black Spiral Dancers even tolerate them.

As for Wyrm, Mages don't beleive in it, for them Wyrm worshippers are jsut a branch of the Nephandi. But Technocracy has ties to Pentex - their own corproate branch, the Syndicate, in particular, had a hand in setting Pentex up, ignored its obvious corruption for nearly a century, had to purge an entire division for beign to chummy with Pentex and still subverted Pentex's toy-making subsidiary to, instead of making toys that encoruage kids to cruelty, make boring toys that kill kids imagination.

Session Zero was also funny, I had a system-neutral list of things people may find triggering and went through it one by one, and the players (who are all more experienced in WFRP than me) kept going "comes with the territorry" on almost every single one.

This is very wholesome, I love this party, they're so sweet with one another

A campaign from old magazine in my country about exploration in Araby down south from the Empire, but for first session I did a trial run, where I put them against a Harpy and some undead, they did more than fine.

I missed this comics, always enjoying an update from you

Freaking hialrious, I love this series

I swear if this is more whining about the Orcs....

I admire your dedication and hard work soo much, keep it up, your comic is lovely.

I really like the dynamics between Angela and Rozanna, it's really wholesome.

If I turn out to have more time at my new job, I plan to start thrid campaign (alongside 5e and Blades in the Dark campaigns I'm running now), and make it WFRP for two people who ran it to me + maybe one other person

Paladin leveled up enough to get Spirit Guardians. I like this approach to roleplaying learning new spells, I may need to think how to utilize it in my game

So what I get from this is that Tyr is a bro and Volo sucks.

Fun fact about druids - in their tradition pretty much every break from the norm, like writing things down or cutting herbs wrong, was punishable by being clubbed to death.

Fun fact two: In France Druids were exterminated by Romans with help of Bards. Bards were basically a competting sect of the same faith with Druids and they sided with Romans to save their own skins and eliminate their rivals.

Downloaded, I always welcome new games to try.

Considering I've been running 5e since the Plague Year, I wouldn't call myself a hater. I did notice, however, this very pattern whenever I voice concerns about anything with the rules - first people assume whatever flaw or exploit I point out, has been used in my group and then their solution is always to leave the group or kick someone out of it, and if it didn't happen in my group, then it means it doesn't ever happen. It's a catch-22 debating with these people.

One of my favorite things about this page is that it can be read as intended, let to right, or can be read right to left like a manga, and it still tells an internally coherent, but entierly opposite story.

You should consider that Forgotten Realms wasn't really the default setting before 5e.

In 4e it was Points of Laght/Dawn World/Netir Vale which was designed from bottom up to be easy to put in anything you want and it is credited for codifying on paper worldbuilding principles that are as wold as fantasy itsel (the poitns of light-style world). In 3e era it was Generic Setting, which was just Greyhawk without any words that would make them have to pay Gygax royalties. In TSR there was no default setting, they all just coexisted.

WotC turned Realms into a default setting by pretending any unique stuff doesn't exist or trying to make it "the default" - look at Gnolls. The "hyenas turned into half-demons from eating Yeenoghu's blood" thing could work for Realms (it's a new lore invented for this edition), but WotC just HAD to try to force it on ever other world they own, goig so far to retcon two Gnoll bodyguards in Sinsiter Secret of Saltmarsh into Hobgoblins, just to keep the illusion Realms have nothing unique going for it.

For me it's playing Warhammer Fantasy. Where you roll a peasant and die of cholera.

Wait, is that person in the last panel, by any chance, the Paladin lady from Neverwinter Nights?
