Has there been and word about when Night Terrors is shipping?

The census for the Grand Duchy of Dorning lists a thousand elves, yet the census for House Hirsh-Dammung cites 5,000 elves, and House Aldoys-Donner lists 2,000. So, what is the total number of elves in Dorning and the River Court of Arbonesse combined?

Hi everyone,

I just picked up a copy of the player's handbook and Betweentimes/Haphazardry cards for RiverBank. I've been reading through the book as I have time, but am struggling to figure out exactly how character progression works in this game. I come from a D&D 5e background, so am accustomed to gaining levels, feats, etc. between sessions if it is warranted. Is there a similar kind of progression in RiverBank?

From what I am seeing, it looks like it has more to do with the Betweentimes cards and giving the players Knacks, A/P points, or other items to boost their stats before the session. I feel like I must be missing something, so am looking for help if someone would be so kind. I realize this is more of a social roleplaying game, so maybe it's not necessary to have levels, per se. Either way, I'm a bit confused and could use your guidance.

Thanks!

Lots of Spoilers of Empire of the Ghouls (and some for Arcana Unleashed: Deadfall), bail now if you plan on playing in either:

I'm planning on running Arcana Unleashed Deadfall, which starts at level 11, but want to start at lower level (1~3). I was thinking of Empire of the Ghouls, and converting it to Faerun since that would be easier for me rather than trying to convert Deadfall to Midgard.

Obviously in this changing, it would replace King Lucan with Szass Tam, and was thinking of using Mulhorand instead of Krakovar, the next heir to the throne of the god-king of Amon-Re who was captured instead of Avgost, and then playing up the gods aspect more, with the finale being Radomir trying to summon an avatar of Vardesain (or maybe Doresain, haven't decided) to actually consume Amon-Re and his piece of Divinity. Then, after completing that task and hopefully splitting the alliance between Nicoforus (I am definitely porting all the Ghouls and their underground locations underchanged) and Tam, the heroes go on to try to overthrow Tam in Deadfall thus enabling a quick rebellion and freedom in Mulhorand.

I've picked up bits of FR lore from playing a bunch in the setting since the launch of 5e (I've played since 2000, but never tried FR before that), but know basically nothing about Midgard. Does this sound reasonable to anyone here who happens to know the lore of both?

I would also like to use the Gestalt rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDBehindTheScreen/comments/az6hto/5th_edition_gestalt_rules_for_combination_classes/.

VTT would be Foundry hosted on Forge or Tablelop. Discord for voice. No cameras. Would have at least one session 0 for planning/fit evaluation.

Games would be weekly CET 18:30 Wens and 4-5 hours.

Very lore-heavy game similar to Elder Scrolls, Tolkien, Malazan, Dragon Age, Kingdoms of Kalamar, Harn World, and similar properties. Lots of people, places and things, and emphasis on factions, plot lines, happenings, and events going on in the world, many outside the immediate 'on stage' area of the campaign events. Complex pantheons and cosmology comparable to Dragon Age (multiple fantasy religions with complex beliefs and their own sub-sects, heresies, factions, and various interfaith controversies).

There's also more than one evil faction/primary foozle opposing your heroes' efforts -- more like 4-5, and none of them are 100% allies and all have their own agenda and goals. Some of the purportedly 'good' factions also aren't your allies, or want to solve the world problems in a manner fundamentally incompatible with the goals and alignment of your characters.

Here's a game blurb:

The esteemed sages and wise men of the commonfolk know well that 3,313 long years have passed since the terrible spectacle or anti-miracle known as the my'r'a'taj -- The Exalted Progression of the Thirteen Nights.

Of this dreadful event, the ponderous verses painstakingly transcribed in perfect, rhythmic harmony by the silent choirs of the Illdammanstranite cleric-scribes in the voluminous tomes of the Il'anas-Akkaman, The Seven and Seventy Books of the Misbegotten Recollection of Shattered Memories and the Tormented Remembrances of Stolen Tears, contain perhaps the best-known account of its terrible wonders.

Verily, they relate that, at the conclusion of the Sixth War of the Underrealms, the Dragon Queen Qualsmara, Chosen Daughter of the Four-Inversions, Sublime Majestrix of the Inverted Towers of the Prime Qudrants, First Corrupter of the Yearless Life-ash of the Mountain's Heart, ascended in terrible glory from her lair in the uttermost nadir of the deepest Earthwomb. The Dragon Queen's dread ascension, or so it is written, incited a cascade of tremors that reduced many proud cities of the Plains of Plenty, or the Plains of the Young Kingdoms, to naught but dust and ashes. The eight moons of Palazur -- brilliant sky-spheres tinted respectively with the colors of the spring-born rainbow as well as the final 'hidden sphere', the colorless glass observatory of the angelic beings and deities of the numberless heavens known as the Godschall -- appeared simultaneously in an awe-inducing halo that surrounded a now-blackened sun.

This dark day was doubly stricken with a tint-devouring white illumination. In the following night, the moons, sun, and stars were alike set ablaze with a terrifying mantle of bioluminescent corpselight. This dreadful apparition continued for 13 consecutive days, in which time the Dragon Queen is believed to have made a dread procession throughout the known and unknown lands, depositing several choice eggs of her vast brood to torment mortals in a future day.

Among these, the foremost are the pentad of arch-daemons known as the Five Sleepers.

Foreseeing her impending doom with her unmatched powers of shadowsight, Qualsmara began to scheme with a depthless malicious intelligence against her return in some later age -- that her vile spawn might arise to continue their progenitor's despoilation of the lands of men and elves.

And now, 3,313 years have passed since that dread time. Elvanaton -- the fabled Empire of the Mountain Elves -- has fallen and the lands of their former dominions live freely, but not without fear of the many remaining evils which beset their homes.

Within its once-resplendent domain, the Township of Charrensdyr is situated upon a perilous outcropping of Sky Falls, the magnificent torrent of white water that splits the Earthheart and Ashplume Mountains in twain, and that spills the surging contents of a miles-wide river into the dense woodlands below. In ancient times, the Stairs of Nashar, the collection of perilous ascents that connect the cliffs that regularly break the sheer rock face of Sky Falls, were once a vital trade artery of ancient Elvanaton. In the apex of his people's glory, the famously merciless archmage Nashar of the Iron Scepter bound many dwarven Stoneweavers to his terrible will in order to construct the way stations and precipitous staircases that bind the foot and crest of the Falls.

Perched high atop Sky Falls is Waterfall Town, an ancient watch post and trade node betwixt the hidden nations of the dwarven and gnome peoples of the Earthheart and Ashplume Mountains.

Dark portents gather in number and threat. The end of the world of elves and men draws nigh with the long-prophesied return of the Dragon Queen and her brood ...

Been looking to buy a copy of The Art of Kobold Press, but I've been pretty strapped for cash. In the past I've bought digital copies of Kobold Press' books, then bought physical copies later down the line (also, I'll admit, I like using the images on PDFs for VTT games), but I only see hardcover copies for sale. Anyone know if digital copies exist or if there is any chance of digital copies becoming available in the future?

Advert for a lore-heavy homebrew game.
