After suffering crushing defeat at the hands of the Brotherhood, the remnants of Realmingsburg retreat to the Skycastle and take flight. In their place, they leave sleeper agents to gather information and, when the time is right, destroy the Brotherhood from the inside.

No. I'm confuzzled, thank you very much. TPBM does ceramics.

Welcome to the shard. What magic system (from fantasy books that you've read) do you like the best?

Granted. Your atoms have extra nuclei now. This causes you to die in all sorts of cool ways. I wish that this thread was more active.

Fortunately, there was a shipment of guacamole from Scadrial scheduled to arrive via oathgate.

Fill its mouth with salt and sew it shut in the middle of a circle of candles. Kudos to anyone who gets that reference. What would you do if you found plastic vampire fangs that turned you into a real vampire in your pocket?

Yes! When people say "Any more questions", TPBM asks for the meaning of life.

Towerlight has special properties - the Sibling needs it. Warlight could be used for something involving corrupted spren, as they are a hybrid of Odium and Honor.

Sneak it into Troy. What would you do if you found a pineapple in your pocket?

Hello and welcome to the shard! So far, what character from Way of Kings do you most like?

Or simply rewrite the camel's history to make it more aggressive. It wouldn't be too hard - it's quite plausible. For loyalty, you could rewrite its history to have it be taken in by you after an exhausting journey in the desert. In the words of a wise man: "Give me two soulstamps, and enough camels on which to place them, and I will conquer the world." Well, something like that, anyway.

...Rysn?

Nope! TPBM wishes that Rabionel was still around.

Unfortunately, there was a guacamole shortage at Urithiru.

Sometimes. TPBM has ADHD just like me.

Granted. People target you with Holy Hand Grenades due to how imposing your steed is. I wish that more sharders played MTG.

Lightweaver and Willshaper It seems like the speaking truths has no conflict with freedom, and Soulcasting and Cohesion work well together. Transportation and Lightweaving are also nice, as you could set traps with the Cohesion / Soulcasting and disguise them.

I wasn't either, but I managed to survive day one! My school district finally gave us a day off for Rosh Hashanah, but didn't explain why, so all of my teachers assigned extra homework.

Sell it as 'Pocket Laundry' and make MILLIONS! (Evil laughter) What would you do if you found the shard of Odium in your pocket?

502. If no one knows your name, RUN 502b. Make sure that everyone knows your name, but knows nothing about you. It prevents you from becoming a redshirt. 503. If you teach an unlikely prodigy something, make sure that you never see them again. This minimizes your chances of getting killed so that your former student can swear revenge over you. 503b. At least pull a Jasnah and fake your own death. 503c. If you do come into contact with your student again, help them with their quest, leave, and give them a letter and all of your assets. .

This thread is almost completely (compleatly?) dead, but I DON'T CARE. DMU memes: (Spoilered for size) Bad Planeswalker puns: That's it for now!

501. Emotional warfare is more effective for taking down the hero than combat. Make sure to stop the villain from learning your deepest, darkest secrets.

My advice depends. Are you running a pre-prepared campaign, or making stuff up on the fly? If the former, just read the campaign book a few times and you should be fine. Get to know the players, prioritize having fun, and don't be afraid to go off the rails a bit. If you're expected to make your own campaign, it's a bit harder. If you want to build a really complex narrative, your players will derail it. Instead of fighting the derailing, just roll with it. It can even end up being more fun than what you had planned! If you don't want to do a complex narrative, worldbuild a ton, make some quests, and give the party a patron (like a mining company, military organization, guild, aristocrat, etc.) so that they actually have a reason to do stuff. You should still make an overarching plot - it helps make this kind of campaign a bit less dry - but it won't be as central to the campaign. Making in-depth NPCs that the players are emotionally attached to is a great trick; you can shape the narrative around the NPCs and the players will actually do what you want. This trick has worked both for and on me, and I can give it my seal of approval. The mechanics of D&D 5e (I assume that's what you're playing) are pretty simple... kinda. Read the books, then ask questions about specific stuff if you need to. I don't think you will, though. If all else fails, and you come into session 1 completely unprepared, here's one final ploy. Make sure you have this line memorized for use in extenuating circumstances: "Hello! We'll be playing a campaign called Tomb of Annihilation. Everybody make a DEX save!"

I certainly hope so! Kinda pessimistic about the present, though. 8/10
