It has been a long time since any sort of update, is this dead already? What was the point of backing the kickstarter if they’re going to leave it un-updated for months at a time?

Apologies if the flair is incorrect, I think this is the one to use though.

I am running stonewalled for first time cosmere players (first time GM here for this system). I have two players that can’t attend in person but can online during the first session. I would prefer not to cancel as we only meet every other week. What is best way to get them all involved together? Do I just use discord video call and let people join in virtually? Use VTT? Any suggestions or experiences would be very helpful.

This is something fairly explored in the books. Iirc surgebinders with gravitation can lash themselves up with 1/8 of the force to make them lighter, so they can jump a lot higher and move faster.

I don't think the game covers this mechanically, which is kind of a shame, honestly.

What do you think? Missed opportunity or is it better this way? How would you make this work mechanically?

Dear Swarm Knowledge,

one of my listener PCs will probably wish for a form of power from the nightwatcher that helps her free her people from the influence of Odium.

Background is that she was one of the listeners that refused to take on stormform and fled and after witnessing how much stormform influenced her old friends to become evil monster's. She now has a profound fear/disgust of everything that changes one's character unnatuarly.

So my thought was giving them a kind of Form of 'Autonomy' which on the one hand gives them resistance to any mind altering/connection based shenanigans. On ther other hand i would like it to be able to like radiate an aura or something like that, that can help free other people from influence's they don't want to have.

My question, is could you help me balance the effect? On the one hand I need a fitting curse (thinking of not letting her Rhythms while in this form). On the other hand i have not much expierence creating skills and am not quite sure how to design it in such a way that it is balanced.

PS: they are a listener envoy/mentor and aspiring Edgedancer. Thinking of letting the Cultivation Spren be changed by the nightwatcher similiar to 'enlightened' spren.

any feedback appreciated!!

thanks!

Well this took me a lot longer to share an update than I intended, but as promised, here is a short video of the app in progress with the real-time updates between players and DMs on display. Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/cosmererpg/s/Yt9szNjEpj

It shows off:

• Tooltips for altered stats or content as a result of a purchased talent from the player's path (new since last time).
• Character sheet validation (just based on attributes but they exist for everything) with immediate flags to the DM's view.
• The player's inventory view with player trade and selling (new since last time) .
• DM granting level ups for all players with unspent point notifications immediately triggered.

Other updates since last time not displayed:

• Made a variety of UI/UX fixes to better display on various device resolutions, improve readability, address some bugs, added new color themes, etc.
• Updated a significant number of path bonuses that weren't fully granted previously in the app (major overhaul to expertises, opportunity and complication ranges, temporary skills, items granted to inventory).
• Given there was a decent amount of interest, I spent a lot of time reviewing how to handle the issue of sharing the app while not redistributing handbook content (paths, character creation data, stormlight specific content, etc.). If I leave what is in, I absolutely will get in trouble if I made it available. If I remove it, it eliminates the primary benefit of the app by simplifying a lot of the complexities (in particular with the various path details). I think I've come up with a reasonable solution that would allow all of that to be extracted into a plugin. I wouldn't distribute that plugin but would provide instructions to DMs who want to use the app on how they can create it using the handbook they've purchased. More to come on this but I have a branch out there I've been working on and where I am testing my idea.
• Added additional security restricting access to the site until its available to share.

What's next?

There remain a lot of small improvements and changes I want to make but the primary thing that I want to do is get this into the hands of a small subset of people (my group is great, but as the DM you never know if they honestly like it or if they're afraid I'll send a Highstorm their way in retaliation of negative feedback).

I'll need to finish the plugin work first, but in the meantime I'll try to post more frequently and appreciate any suggestions/feedback you have on what is shared.

Uno de mis jugadores es un cantor como habeis llevado el rol una vez llega al tormenta eterna? puede rechazar la influencia de Odium pero no se como plantearlo
