Page 101 of the original corebook says "[the person helped] can decrease the difficulty of the task by one step." Did that change in Discovery?

Discovery, page 118: "If you use your action to help someone with a task, you east that task.  If you have an inability in a task, your help has no effect.  If you use your action to help someone with a task that you are trained or specialized in, the task is eased by two steps."

Nice buff!

Los Angeles County is a hot spot, but we are still alive and kicking.  Spring 2020 semester is done, after abruptly shifting online mid-semester.  Fall 2020 is just around the corner, and I need to prepare for face-to-face, online, and whatever shifting between them that may be necessary.  Between working online and periodic hikes in our walking-distance hills and mountains, I am still sane.  :)

I don't suppose anyone can give me an executive summary of the IC action?  :o

Welcome back!

We found a (crashed? derelict? pandimensional?) craft in the subterranean complex.  The little floaty balls seem to help track the crew (now us).  The propulsion systems seem to be offline due to a phasing crystalline structure protruding through the hull into one of the cylinders.  We're trying to figure out how to (re)move the crystal to fix the craft.

I'm surprisingly eloquent for somebody who's about to pass out. Hm.

Moment of clarity?

Could be, but I doubt a person half poisoned could speak this well.

First I travel thousands of kilometers with no way back. Then I start turning to crystal, and now this! It's not been my week, I'll tell you that.

Given that Eleisai is able to sense the orbs, what does she sense from the orb that was inserted into Paraton's body?  Still awaiting an answer before posting...  :)

Contentment, purpose, integration

I'm feeling a lump.

Now I've got that song "Lump" by The Presidents of the United States of America going through my head...

Good song.  Now it's stuck in my head, too.

"She's lump, she's lump, she's lump
She's in my head"

So meta...

The chair eats you.

 ;)

j/k

Time to use that "Flatulence of Self-Defense" skill.

"Hm, yes, based on my vast experience Seeking, I can conclude that this is a room. It is very, very roomful."

Week busier than expected - work is being a pain, will need to wait until Tue the 11th to start posting again. Apologies!

No worries, I hope you slayed that job!

Windstorm. No power. Will post when able.

No worries.  Sorry my own posting has been AWOL.  My to-do list runneth over... :o

I now in a position do to an update on what happened in my neck of the woods.  Search for "Iowa derecho" if you want to see exactly what happened, but what basically was going on was that on Monday, August 10th a massive windstorm hit my area around 1:30pm (I was asleep due to my nocturnal schedule, but I woke up in a hurry).  It was a derecho, a straight-line windstorm with winds up to 100mph, though it was about 80mph in my area.  Is sounded like a freight train and looked like a hurricane, with branches and bits of roofing flying by our front windows.  We lost power shortly after the storm and didn't get it back until last evening on Friday the 15th.  We didn't get Internet back until Saturday the 16th, and spent most of Sunday and Monday replacing the food we'd lost from our fridge and ice chest and doing chores we couldn't do with the power out.  We were very lucky in that we (or my parents in the same area) didn't have any house damage and very minimal tree damage. Some folks weren't so lucky. There were trees across roads, trees on houses, and some cities had very massive property damage to a huge amount of homes and businesses (one city to the west of us has people camping in their front yards as they have no place else to stay). There are still roads shut with trees and light poles across them, and we've lost an immense amount of trees everywhere.  Every day for a week the air is alive with the sounds of generators, chainsaws, and woodchippers.  It's going to take weeks to get the branches and trees cleared that fell down during the storm, more to remove the trees that are damaged but still upright, and every third house is sporting a tarp to cover lost shingles, roof damage, or worse. We're one of the lucky ones and I am very grateful right now.

I will hopefully be able to update the game tonight or tomorrow.

I kinda feared this was the case. Take all the time you need. Best wishes to you and your loved ones. And thank you for all the effort you have poured into this game. It's been a joy to open this page and see the little red link.

+1. Remembering you and your in prayer...
