Current games
I'm not in any FTF games, one of our longstanding players died a while ago, and we haven't felt like RPGing in their absence, though we meet for other things.

Several bits that I delved into, though I haven't read it in it's entirety yet. The examples of second generation incomers' and their attitudes, and the Circle of life section including the lay-member coming of age initiations. I'm never sure how much of these are 'real world' heroquest type experiences, and how much they are stepping into god time. Is the wild man really an Orlanthi and the dark man really a troll, or are they co-operative praxian 'neighbours with Strombull and Morocanth backgrounds doing a favour for future considerations? Is the temptress an avatar of Inora or a veiled local Ulerian freezing her tits off on a snowy mountain as part of her religious obligations? In order to ensure not too many of the candidates are actually eaten, I'd assume a healthy dose of the 'real world' with a glamour of ritual making it feel divine, but with PCs being exceptional, maybe they get more of the unexpurgated experience of the myth.

If a character is wearing a leather hauberk under another hauberk e.g. heavy leather, the app gives the total armour value in chest and abdomen as that of the first armour equipped (2 or 1, rather than 3). It can be adjusted by giving the heavy leather armour a +1 enhancement, but this might be misinterpreted later, if you forget why it's there.

Just need to get that POW stat up - I kind of like the idea of it being an inverse bull-dancing performance where the healer is able to slow down the berserker on each pass with a judicious sidestep and veil drag, guided by the goddess.

My light-cavalry Grazelander gained Devotion(deity) at the battle of Pennel Ford, which as expected boosted his Yu-Kargzant devotion from 60% to 70%. I assume that this is the usual result, but in dice and paper character generation I have sometimes taken this as 60% with another deity and sacrificed pow to gain rune points as an initiate of a second (allied/friendly) cult. Some cults (such as Uleria) encourage this practise and may rely on co-initiates for a significant portion of their worship. Will you be able to support second cults in future versions of the application?
-
I realised that it was due to a trailing space after the character name. I don't remember putting one there, but I was able to delete one as a test. I hope you weren't using it for anything.

A really helpful method of tracking where you are going with your character generation and revising things. I just created a STR 11, CON 9 noble and realised right at the end that the bronze armour and equipment was giving horrendous over-encumbrance penalties. It was simple to trade down some armour and unequip some weapons to fix that, for a character that wasn't looking at a combat role. Demoralise and lots of POW was her best defence. I noticed that although I can delete the character that I just made, four other characters made earlier now seem to be undeletable. Is that expected? Sorry I'm late in replying. I kept getting sidetracked between goes at making characters.

The Red Goddess seems to me, more the Pelorian population's response to the 'involuntary' and largely acknowledged illumination of Yelm

Surely Arroin is also going to be troubled by the Elves having broken his mother's restrictions on treatment of those that she has made incapable of self defence. Although he has no magic to withdraw, the Lightbringers CoG says 'Arroin is of greater importance among the Aldryami. To them, he is also a god of fertile water and one of their three great Protectors'. His cultists could also stop trading with and assisting the 'rouge' elves / forest until they and the Chalana Arroy make some sort of act of atonement. Without Magic the Chalana Arroy may want to get close to Arroin to learn how to heal while interdicted.

I've just tried again, and this time it worked. I'll take a proper look later. Thanks

I just tried again, nothing looking like the confirmation has been received yet, the website says E-Mail confirmation sent: Check your E-Mails (Spam folder included) for a confirmation E-Mail. Refresh this page once you have confirmed your E-Mail.

I've requested the confirmation email a few times over the last 24 hours. Nothing appears in my inbox or spam folder, though the email address seems to be correct in 'settings'

Could the spirit of the road manifest as various migratory creatures that cross the region in different seasons? (but in this case shepherd travellers along a trail or road)

Transfer pregnancy is an Uleria cult spell available to initiates. Uleria welcomes initiates who are also initiates into other cults...
-
Threre is also Durbaddath the Lion god of Pelanda and Peloria. Presumably the Lunar Lasadag Lions regiment has some link to him

Storm barbarians are an ideal background from which to grab a bunch of adventurers. Their culture promotes innovation, valour and the overturning of 'unreasonable' constraints. On the down side they seem to be rather too easily swayed to follow unscrupulous leaders who have great charisma and battlefield success, but veer off into strange novel hybrids of storm myth often with disastrous results.
