Raventhal

Maybe it's not my place to start a new thread for somebody else's module. I just wanted some place to discuss Raventhall after my first completed playthrough! Probably SPOILERS. I feel like I might have missed some content? The game advertises a playthrough getting you up to levels 4-6, but I ended ...

Re: Hearkenwold

Just wanted to write again to say how much I enjoyed this module. I'm looking forward to revisiting it again! I guess I'll leave off on a couple of questions: SPOILERS Is it supposed to be obvious when I've run out of narrative road? Skardale is now overrun by goblins and bugbears, and it's not clea...

Re: Preparation before heading into the wilds

Hey youngneil1, no worries, I find it cool how you guys have been steadily chipping away at this block for the last 8+ years. I've been lowkey evangelizing this project here and there, anticipating the day when this becomes a cornerstone item in every rpg enthusiast's toolkit. The fantasy I'd like t...

Re: Hearkenwold

I've turned on debug and when I trigger the courthouse it gives me: "Replaced Havan with 1 checkGlobal: Havan = 2 returning false" Checking the tavern (he is no longer there), I get: "Replaced Havan with 1 checkGlobal: Havan = 1 foundGlobal: Havan == 1" It's worth noting, one thi...

Re: Hearkenwold

SPOILERS I had an excellent time dungeoneering through the old dwarven halls and mines; great worldbuilding, and I enjoyed the hints of the greater metaphysical threats to come. I'm back in Skardale and ready to set some sparks, but I feel like I've hit a wall. The nobleman in the bar at Theives' Al...

Re: Hearkenwold

A little update on my progress. SPOILERS: I'm levels 7-8. Tracked and finished Wrathack, and am siding with Skardale against Relmfur. I haven't yet initiated active dissent, but I did purge a vampire or two ;) I might go campaign in the dwarf mountains for a bit, or try to finish off some guild ques...

Re: Hearkenwold

Having backtracked a bit, I noticed that I may have tackled some harder challenges earlier than the narrative required, so some of the current headway I'm making is a bit easier than it would have been other (open world working as intended - and a welcome breather!) A bug, a typo, and a suggestion: ...

Re: Hearkenwold

Just wanted to tell you I'm really enjoying my first playthrough of Hearkenwold! The writing is sensitive and intelligent, and the fight setpieces are all the right kinds of challenging :twisted: Yesterday, in a cave, I walked in on a trio of Shaman Trolls and got thoroughly whupped (I barely scratc...

Re: Preparation before heading into the wilds

Thanks for the leads, I've gone through those videos, and they are informative.

I've downloaded Hearkenwold and will (after enjoying it) take it apart to get a sense of how to do the possible.

Re: Preparation before heading into the wilds

Thank you for the response. The way Spells and Effects interact is beginning to make more sense to me :) I'm slowly going through youngneil1's old primer https://www.iceblinkengine.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=289 , but I'm wondering if I'm not using the ideal version of IB to follow along; m...
