Right, Officer Ortivar is submitted. Just need to work on their backstory and buy their gear but most of the mechanical bits should be there for review.

Not sure if there's a magic item in any of the official sources like this but I wanted to query what would be the availability/price of essentially a magical voice recorder? I'm thinking it's the kind of thing Ortivar would talk into during an investigation so he could listen back to it later when he's making more detailed notes/filling in reports.

Very interesting choice Endermun. I like it. So no one wanted to roleplay a banking regulator? Can't imagine why...

I'm kidding of course.

I will look into the voice recorder thing. Likely it will be a Magic Mouth spell that can be overwritten/rerecorded. Probably a limited number of messages. But it does seem like something someone on Ravnica would create.

Hey, McNeil, do you want to do a buddy cop type of thing? I'm a Justicar in the Azorius Senate.

Wow I really miss the lore in this setting and forgot how rich it is. I pulled out and flicked through some of my old decks last night - the nostalgia

Yeah sounds good :) Ortivar is going to be quite straight and reasonably by the book I think....at least initially at any rate

Adren is gonna be a bit more emotion-driven, more concerned with good than with law.

Just out of curiosity...I have created a forum for myself where I plan to take notes on plot points and such. I intended it to be hidden from the players.

Can anyone see it?

If you mean the one called "Secret GM notes (Don't peak)" then no, definitely can't see that one :-P

I'm absolutely loving this group, can't wait to jump straight into the campaign! DM, do you have and ETA for Post 0? I see the NPCs and am frothing at the bit! (and yes, I can see it - very annoying, since it means the forum as a whole is always red! teasing :) )

Well, there is nothing there at the moment but the bad link to the item guide. So feel free to read that right now...or click "mark forum as read"

I will look up how to turn off your permissions to that subforum again and make it go away.

As for the first scene...I need some lunch and then I can start things off. I was considering an en media res opening...but I think this one should be started off with a council meeting of sorts. Plus that will give the people time to finalize details that are still missing.

I'm an idiot. This is what separates DMs from the chaff...

Hi DM I too can see your DM note forum.

One request before we start actually playing, may I swap out one of my Artificer infusions? I am super excited to start playing. I think this game is going to be really good - like one of the best on GP!

Not sure about being one of the best, but should be fun.

And yeah, if all you need is to switch your choices, go for it. Really don't need to lock them in until the first time they get used.

Can anyone point me to source material about renown and guild rank?
May 9, 2019 8:10 pm
The rules for them are in Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica

Sorry about the number of edits on my posts sometimes. Most of it is just small bits of text formatting that I missed and I'm a bit OCD sometimes. Will try harder to get it all perfect on the first go.
