[OOC] Aesithas (D&D 5e Homebrew) - On Hiatus

[Fading Memory]

I feel y'all on that. My economic situation is tight lately, gas and groceries are rather crippling me, but I'm surviving and thriving. Life is okay otherwise. Tired from work and whatnot.

[Vertigo]

Just making sure for my post, which parts of the info would be known to I'Rajith? He researched a lot of the topics, but I'm not sure which parts he knows versus what was meant for others.

[Fading Memory]

I wrote it up under the consideration of ‘research downtime’ taking time, so all of it would be known to everyone at the ‘end of the downtime activity’. If you wished to roleplay out specific details you can feel free to divvy up those research points as you see fit.

[Fading Memory]

This reminded me, in my heat addled brain, that I need to add some extra info for Dag’Tyr’s contribution to the activity. Thanks!

@Fading Memory

Oohh, gotcha! I was thinking of having Raj reply to Amaryllis, but also if we're about to move on from research downtime and skip ahead, that's also fine! Whichever works.

[Neianna86]

Yes, cause I was wondering whether you had incorporated that 'extra info', but couldn't really see a difference.

[Fading Memory]

Nope not yet! My brain has been melting with work this week, the heat index is off the charts and I've been pushing a lot of Overtime. I'll crank out that update either tonight or tomorrow.

As for the 'moving on' part, I was just trying to be efficient with the mechanical tidbits; I'm in for the roleplay and seeing characters interact, so I'm not rushing anyone as of right now.

[Fading Memory]

Dag'Tyr's contribution to this research is simple but very significant; he harkens to an old Kin rhyme he learned as a young child from Nursery Fables, which adds more context to the circumstances of the Heartlands;

Though root faces rot
and streams flow not
though spring held still
and heartland lakes refuse to fill
though shadows grow-
There lurks the foe!-
Pure water and seed
is all the good earth needs.

---

This is, to be explicit, what Dag'Tyr's exceptional investigation roll also contributes to the research 'activity'.

[Neianna86]

All right hopefully not overstepping my boundaries here, but maybe this gives the others more of a chance to hook on so we can do some more roleplaying as some people wanted.

I’m going to try and get a post up over the next few days. Apologies for the silence ^^;

[Vertigo]

ACK! I completely forgot I hadn't posted yet. Will do so today!

[Fading Memory]

I will be responding to Vigil tonight since I have time :) apologies for my quiet, it seems work and I shall forever be at odds for my free time.

[Fading Memory]

A friend of mine has an obscene number of credits with DALL-E, the AI art bot. So he and I are working on creating some set pieces for Aesithas that I ordinarily would have not bothered with; it gives him something to play with the bot with, and will give me concept art to plug an official artist later if I decide to take this to print, and gives you guys some pretty pictures to look at when I get around to that part.

Fenhall Interpretation by the AI

This one pleased me as a 'Fenhall' interpretation.

The Cloud Kingdom interpretation by the AI

This one pleased me as an interpretation of 'The Cloud Kingdom'.

I will reveal more as we generate them or you guys come across the scenes, this is a wonderful tool and I'm stoked on a technological level that this is possible.

The Southland Deepwood generated by the AI

The Badlands generated by the AI

This friend of mine is doing the Gods' work with this stuff.

@Fading Memory

Ah yes, home sweet home for Vigil. This explains a lot xD

[Fading Memory]

to be fair, it is an arid shrubland that stretches between the fertile lands and the horrible Lands Beyond where nothing but monsters exist. Makes for hardy folk.

@Fading Memory

I know, but it is funny, because Vigil has bad homesickness and is constantly reminiscing about it xD

[Vertigo]

I hope my post works, but lmk if not! Had a lot of trouble figuring out what bits in particular he would know and how to reply. Wanted Raj to offer at least something relevant he might have heard from the council, but without taking the lead away from Dag'Tyr. So settled for him knowing that one passage at least. B)

Edit: Also did my level up, since I'd forgotten! Speaking of, would I be able to summon my familiar during the downtime?

[Fading Memory]

Yeah go for it! what Familiar you planning on using? :)
