    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    Man, re-reading the previous vote, I was so sad we voted for uncool cannibalism as opposed to cool cannibalism. Now that's the hedonic treadmill right there — you get what you want, and you can't help but wanting more… Mareinette would be proud. Though really I'm sad we're not heading into...

    The deciphering/reading distinction was disposed of when the study rules were overhauled back on Turn 18. Well Read applies.

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    I don't think Well-Read applies to deciphering books, only reading them, but fair point on the SH artifact. Forgot about that.

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    It's been a while but I think I did. It's just that I have forgotten by now. Double checking. 20 (lore application) + 14 (learning) + 40 (lantern influence) + (5 to +15) (SH artifact) = 79 to 89 bonus for artifacts Artifact DC 90 So roll 1 to 11 or better 20 (lore application) + 14...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    Slightly higher due to Well Read and our artifact bonus from the SH 3 book (We've had minions use it for rituals and use it ourselves for studying in the same turn before)

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    I didn't check the math on everything, just the Moth 5 book and the Lantern 4 artifact since those are the Important Things, but: Rolling X + 40 (Influence) +20 (Lantern 4) +14 (Learning), with -50 for Moth book If reroll is spent on Moth 5 book: ~72% chance of first-trying it (opens slot for...

    I would be very surprised if the new civilisation has any significant cultural similarities to old Kryptonian. These are people who were dumped in purgatory, some for petty or made-up crimes, and when they finally got out it was to find their people all died because they were too stupid to save...

    The main benefit to 3x study action is the Moth 3 artifact. 2 study: Lantern and Winter artifacts and Moth 5 book almost certainly, Moth 3 artifact only if we lucksack hard. Manehattan book probable if no Moth 3 artifact. (oneshot the Moth book for moth artifact, 2shot for manehattan book) 3...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    Iirc there’s some vaguely annoying thing here because of Lantern Sacrament efficiencies (3 Books OR 2 artefacts OR artefact + book) we kinda need to split this out… And hey we should definitely rank Manehattan book above low level artefacts, we’ve learned expeditions are extremely good value...

    No? It requires a Baldomare AP and a Velvet AP and we've already used the Baldomare AP for her Lantern influence.

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    I'm guessing you're talking about "Beyond the Map's Edge", for Baldomare's SH Sacrament? Not this turn, and I don't believe it's exceptionally dangerous, based on its description. Baldomare's busy giving us a Lantern Influence this turn, so she can't offer us Sacrament, but it's a definite...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    Got it, that's really helpful, thank you. Did anyone do the math on how much we can expect to be able to study given 2 vs 3 actions, with some reasonable priority order? …We are aiming for Moth sacrament next turn, right? And Grail sacrament as rebinding? Man I'll miss the Moth Grail...

    Isn't the Wastes a place for Moth and Edge scraps not lantern? I'm pretty sure the Mirror Garden and Baldomare's Beacon are the places to study in hopes for a lantern scrap.

    Didn't we have an obligation to go on some dangerous expedition, Beyond the Edge of the World or something like that? This is what Baldomare wants and should give us a Promotion for Secret Stories, right?

    The top line plan is pretty much already set in stone of "Biedde duel, softy FO, at least 2 study actions to get the Lantern 4 artifact and the Moth 5 book" Flexible parts of the plan are: "Where do we explore with our Mansus action? Wastes or Stairways?" "Exactly what are the details on the...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Ineresting breakdown. Only one problem: There are only twelve beings who hold the rank of Grand Admiral, and the only being who can appoint them is the Emperor himself. In this case, where Heeter goes in terms of promotions depends on his actual rank. For a backwater sector like Myto, there's...
