Hello, just tried to use the discord invite & it failed to work! Would you be able to put up a new link!
I love the sacrifice aspect, too much maybe, but Toril is a world of physical godhood, thus sacrificing seems natural. Still going with my snow elven kingdom, and my story is, there were two kingdoms: that of Üyyal and Îsid and my Half-Celestial Snow Elf Äuguirgammon has recreated the two as one. In the Ice Spire upon the great lake was Îsid, and the mountains of Dareth were Üyyal. I reformed the Yuir faith to collapse at some point, and renamed the priesthood as the Cult of Äuguirgammon and Sabê (his daughter-wife). The faith rn is all about blood on the ice (so Pink Halls, the Pink Chantry is my colosseum) and I have plans to one day overtake those pesky Sossal & all of the Ice Lake with my cities so to make my own trade zones!
This has been awesome. My last game before I had to restart lasted 300 years, and this time, I'm not jumping to Empire until the faith feels right. Thank ya'll for the awesome experience! There is so little in the ways of lore on most of what I play, and its fun to have the room to make my own, AND have a game throughout!

Is the Spelljammer port worth building? The building stats don't appear to be worth 3000, by my read, but if there are sPeCiAl EvEnTs then I'm all in.
I don't think I've seen any events? but it's cool so i always do it
Those ports were kinda the first thing of a small system to represent planar travel. Some further progress was put on hold though by a dev last year because it wasn't working out for them. AFAIK, the ports will eventually let interesting characters come to your realm/court.

Right - both the Spelljammer Port and the Planar Portal are intended to occasionally bring wanderers of the appropriate cultures to your court. This had been intended as a direct enhancement of the existing racial diversity system, but as I continue to revise that system, my thought is more that a separate event for outworld travellers arriving might be better.
nd
I want to occasionally have space pirates or space adventures or planar bandits or whatever occasionally negative modifier my port province and have to hire adventures or send in the army to kick them out or something?

It's time for another experimental release. And this one's a big one! Experimental Release 89h20 is now up on GitHub, and while the release notes are below, the main news is that this is a big update for people who like non-human OPMs, and the Baldur's Gate series. We have lots of playable BG characters, including Abdel and Sarevok during their appearances in BG1. We have many fixes for our existing BG3 characters, and more added. I'll be doing a separate post just to update our 'playable video game characters' list to reflect this release. And there are about a dozen new OPM realms, many of them duchies, with non-human holders. Because of the extensive map changes, this release breaks saves. Please be aware - the next experimental release will probably also break saves, this time due to trait changes.
So without further ado, the change log!

And as promised, an update to the playable CRPG characters post! All of this is going to be under a spoiler block, because there's some big reveals for Baldur's Gate 3 in here. All characters mentioned are from the Baldur's Gate series except where noted.
Enjoy!

Hotfix alert! We needed to make a fix, because Entar Silvershield being dead messed everything in Baldur's Gate up... here is the changelog:
- Added Belt as interim Grand Duke of Baldur's Gate while Entar Silvershield is dead
- Also added Belt as bookmark character
- Also exonerated Abdel Adrian of the murder of Skie Silvershield

As I understand it, this depends on player choices in the BG series that have no canon resolution. Abdel is already our most murderous character, with a kill list about twice as long as Szass Tam's. So I thought I would give him a (small) break while I was rooting around in the Silvershield family history.

This is a small and probably dorkballs suggestion, but one of the things about Faerun is you have all these noble lines and such floating around, and I was remembering in the GoT CKII mod that there was a mechanic that let you join a character you made in the character creator to what all established family. Is something like that possible here?
that feature took alot of work and was buggy, if you want this is easy to do by editing the save game.
