  • If I had to guess, I’d assume there was bricks once surrounding the cinderblock nightmare. You wouldn’t want a hollow brick pillar so I could see someone just shoving a cinderblock pieces in the middle as they worked their way up, never really expecting it to be seen on its own.

    That isn’t the right way to make a pillar like this, but I’m sure this was a string of mistakes and at the end it was some poor bricklayer who had to figure it out with what he had on hand.


  • I see there are some homebrew modules out there that add spellcrafting but they’re more or less point buy systems.

    I could kind of see it as I think you’re describing, in that you make a spell with a bunch of spell symbols/glyphs that modify it, but each one of those cost components.

    Hmm this is worth scheming on.











  • I think Eboshi is actually evil, but she’s charismatically evil so it comes off different.

    She allows her own people to be bombed, she abandons the wounded from her caravan, and she’s effectively tricked the lepers into working to death for her. She could have given up on the forest spirit many times, but left irontown under siege so she could have a chance at killing a god.

    She only cares about her people so long as they’re empowering her. She listened to Ashitaka talk balance but the minute he went to enforce it, she tried to kill him.

    Every time she apologizes and says she will do better, and people forgive her, but she doesn’t actually change her ways.

    I think this is why Ashitaka ultimately stays in the town - To basically keep her on the path and to her word. (I don’t recall if he literally says that)
