It was a morbid decision. Halsin the druid had seemed gentle, kind. But that was what exactly what had made him suspicious. A cultist of the Absolute would surely try to give the appearance of geniality in order to blend in. That must be it. The others had agreed with the logic. Halsin never saw th...

No, this was a mistake on my part. Fixed.

As you relax at camp, discussing the day's events and the path forward, the disembodied voice suddenly returns: One of them is going to try to kill you tonight. The cultists fear your power. You must be prepared to strike first. Do not hesitate. You look around uneasily. None of the others appear t...

The peaceful calm of the forest is suddenly shattered by the sounds of battle. You meet the owlbears as a determined wall, weapons at the ready. The air begins to spark with strange magical energies as some of your companions begin to unleash devastating bursts of arcane power into the fray. The ow...

https://bg3.wiki/w/images/8/87/Owlbear.webp?version=9d1b4bfb1809c56fed03584d77204081 You call a halt. You and the others look around nervously, weapons at the ready. The air is still, the forest seems to hold its breath. Then you see something rustling in the trees. Something large. There is a fain...

You travel down a quiet forest path. Sunlight filters through the canopy above, fallen leaves crunch under your feet. Your group have paired off in twos and threes, some talking quietly, others seemingly lost in thought. Suddenly, a sound floats across the wind ahead. Something out of place. You st...

https://bg3.wiki/w/images/9/98/Sunlit_Wetlands.jpg You gather together, a group of unlikely strangers brought together by the most unfortunate of circumstances. A consensus is quickly reached… the city of Baldur’s Gate is not far. Perhaps someone there can help you. There are healers, sorcerers, cl...

With 8/9 players confirmed, we will be starting shortly. Thank you all for reading the rules carefully.

Role PMs will be going out shortly. Confirm in thread and do the thing you're supposed to.

If you want a bit more flavour background, you may want to watch the trailer here You awake in a strange place, trapped in some sort of strange, alien pod, like a cocoon made of flesh. Others are nearby, and you can see other individuals in them, similarly trapped. You watch as a tall, lanky figure ...

That's 9. I will be aiming to start the game on Friday, probably sending out role PMs tomorrow.

One more and we will get started! Anyone available?

Hi everyone! Also GGs!

After every game I play as scum I think to myself, 'it's time to retire from mafia'.

PYP Since this will never find a home anywhere else, this is what I was up to for posterity (ie. LaserGuy is always wrong): Sabrar: Sabrar is probably Town. I like this analysis a lot and I agree with a lot of the sentiments here, except specifically Mak (who IIRC has had issues with misunderstandin...

PYP And so ends my PYP game :D Pyp Sorry! I'm curious what your solves were, if you wanna go to the green room! PYP I've already read through the spoilers and I was way off. This is where I was at: People with legit townslips that should never be eliminated: Fred, JC, Mak People who are probably To...
