Note about above Personal skills!

Free +5 to Personal Skills are allowed on DC items, but cannot be added to the epic loot pre-determined items through the request system. However, it will be possible to add these free Personal skills to existing items via the mythal crafting system once the update to the mythal crafting system is complete. (It is currently in-progress!)

Sorry for any inconvenience to anyone who would have liked to take advantage of this possibility prior to the mythal update!

There's been a slight change regarding food and drink available in player housing:

"Each home can have one (1) cabinet each for food, drinks, and clothing that will spawn once per reset (Or you can combine them into one cabinet if you want). You can have up to 10 food items, 10 drink items, and 5 clothing items. Food and drink will only be allowed the taste unique power, and clothing will not be given any mechanical powers, but could be mythalled. Note: You can choose to use dynamic merchants for the food and drink if you wish. This will not count toward the single shop allowance indicated below, but it will forfeit the free cabinet usage. (You cannot use a dynamic merchant for the default 5 clothing items.)"

Additional Nature Deities/Domains

The Team has decided that on Amia, the Sun and Moon domains also denote nature deities. The following deities can now also sponsor druids:

Eilistraee
Horus-Re
Lathander
Sehanine Moonbow
Selune
Sharindlar
Tamara


We also found that Thoth had an error in his domains. We have changed his Moon domain to Luck. (Thoth is definitely not a Moon god.)


This change has come about after discussion regarding druids in Forgotten Realms that Amia did not allow, but which held precedent in 3.5 PnP. The staff felt adding the Sun and Moon domains in their entirety was appropriate, given the prevalence of both in other druid deities' domains, and the role of the sun and moon in nature.

Hi, folks!

We have updated the Construction Guidelines to be less maddening and less math. Have a look here!

The pricing for spells on items is now fully complete. There are also some new monster abilities available, which you can see at the very bottom (Hurl Rock, Bolts, Gazes, Howls, and Pulses).

Check it out here!

General announcement that if you have a request you want to send in privately, send them to the Request Handler role and not the Dungeon Master role!

Forgot to explicitly state this when we started the Request Handlers and separated requests from DMs.

Attention!!!


I am placing a moratorium on posting new Module Change and Player Housing Requests. I will be locking the threads.
We are going to work on clearing out the backlog.


Of our many devs, only 6 are area builders, and a couple of those get distracted with scripting and coding stuff. And right now:
  • 1 is on emergency family leave
  • 1 is taking a break (but will be working on area building anyway, silly girl, because she likes to)
  • 1 is tying up loose ends so he can step away for a while (RL beckons)
  • 1 is taking a break because RL (no loose ends)
  • 1 is new to area building


So I hope you can understand why I am doing this. Please write up your requests! Just don't turn them in at this time. We have by my count 25 fairly large projects, and that is just area building, because these people also work on other things for the module, like designing guards or putting in DTS. It might not look like 25 projects when you look at the list, but there are several projects included when you have it under the umbrella of Rebuildnig Old Kohl or Finishing up Gregory's Landing - both of those have like 6 or 7 projects each.

Hi! Module changes have been reopened, but the staff has decided that player housing will be temporarily paused for now while we work on the new system so players don't need to wait a million years for a dev to get around to it. You can read more information here!

New BBCode!

You will find a new BBCode option with all the other buttons. The time tag will take a Discord Timestamp and display it to a user as their local time. Generate Discord timestamps here.

Example:

Code: Select all

[time]<t:1741384800:F>[/time]
Will display:


Which is March 7, 2025 4:00 PM for me in CST (GMT -6).

It will display as plain text with a dark background (like in Discord) by default, not big and orange. I just formatted that myself separately by putting the blocks around it!


============


You can also use the hour tag to display only the hour. Example:

Code: Select all

[hour]<t:1741384800:F>[/hour]
Will display:

<t:1741384800:F>
Which is 4:00 PM for me in CST (GMT -6).
