Ha! Spoilers for Star Wars, the old guy dies!

To fair, though, the original module doesn't actually have a lot to say about the past of the Borderlands. As originally presented, the Keep is a new settlement and there's no sense that there's any history in the area. Module B1 gives you a bit about (spoilers for module B1) Rogahn and Zelligar, but only a bit.

What I was really trying to do was avoid saying outright "such and such a language will be useful."

Mental note: Glad I had the foresight to pick up Comprehend Languages... :D

Question about the map?  What are we supposed to see?  I see a spreadsheet with A1 filled in with terrain.  I see giant wolf tokens that stay in the same place as I scroll around the map.

Oh right. You don't need to scroll. Set at 50% size, the tokens should all be in the right place.

You can move your own tokens and it will update for everyone, it just takes a bit of fiddling when they're that small.

I can see the map now, I can't move my figure.

Try now.

I think I'm missing something. Where can I find the map?

Im Msg 16 of the main thread, after the OOC line there is a link to the map, titled "Battle of the Lonely Road!"

Map!

Ah thanks, hadn't realized there was a link in the post!

The googledocs method usually works really well for this purpose, but it's not working well this time.

I'll look around for some alternate solutions.

Quick note, new link for the map:

(the link in the IC thread is updated)

The password is 'truemane'

Let me know if you have any troubles.

Round update on the way.

I'm getting an "unable to find owner for asset" error in the owblear rodeo map. It's completely blank for me.

Jesus. Clearly not a perfect solution.

That site is new to me. I'll figure this out.

I'll update the IC thread today, no matter what happens with the map. Push come to shove we can go theatre of the mind.

I tried on my phone.  Got tools on the sides, but no map, no icons.  I saw the same error flash that Gill mentioned.

The one real downside of Owlbear Rodeo is that it hosts custom assets on your local machine. I do my role-play writing from three separate computers, so it takes some fiddling to work it out so that I don't turn off the wrong computer at the wrong time.

And then this morning I did a full clean and sweep of the hosting computer for unrelated reasons, forgetting that this would happen.

No worries :)  there's no rush. A map is nice bonus, but without it we can still play!

Still gives "Unable to find owner for asset".

Also, I know initiative isn't important, however I appear to be missing from the list ;)

In reply to Kovann (msg # 53):

You've transcended the list. Those monk meditations worked. ;)

Added you to the list! Sorry about that!

I'm going to go say some bad words at the map.

BRB.

Still the same I'm afraid.

Finnick already took his action in this first round (and will drop to 0hp on the wolf init).

(Also can’t see a map.  ‘Unable to find owner for asset’)

The first round was kinda our 'pre-action' round. A freebie from spotting the wolves before they reached us. So Finnick should still be able to do 1 action before the wolf makes it to him. And if the wolf dies before its turn... ;)

Alright, until I get this sorted, see the map for Group 0. It's the current round.

Ah. I see now that System was talking about  round 2 actions and is letting me know that before Finn drops to 0hp on init count 6, he will get an action on init count 7.

Sort of weird posting it out of order but you did mention this new way of summing up the action in a round was going to take some getting used to.

I don’t suppose dodge can be a legal action?  Now that I know he’ll be dropped if he does nothing in other words.
