I'm not opposed to thrift, but skimping on the defenses of a fortress that's supposed to hold off a planar superpower strikes me as the very epitome of Penny wise and pound foolish.

The accounting (money related) ones. With some bonus material to track other spending. Oh, and that's not to say I didn't do other stuff over the last month, like the military sheet, the Realm sheet, the turn plan proposals, the strategic actions... that's actually about it.
Still, a productive couple of weeks.

Different idea for the Fortress:
Sigils of Suppression: A globe of invulnerability fills the entire cavern, as represented by the arcane sigils that areinscribed upon the walls. No spell effects of 4th level or lower function within this cavern. Such spells cannot becast within the cavern, nor can their effects extend towithin the cavern. A targeted dispel magic can temporarily suppress sigils ofsuppression, just like any other magic item.
Moderate abjuration; CL 11th; Craft Wondrous Item,globe of invulnerability; Price 33,000 gp.
Could this be useful?
Not over the whole of the fortress, but there might be locations where a flat no to low-level magic can be helpful.
The section on Lair Wards says that they have a range of about 400ft if there is no cavern to fill.

Where's the post with the current fortress plans?

A wide variety of defenses, we're probably already using this.

Suck teleports into a designated space, anyone without the password gets got. No SR, unlike dimensional lock, and passing the will save just makes you not teleport at all. Expensive, though.

Can either deal damage or store a spell for later use. Cheaper than permanency in the latter role. Probably already using this too.

If other dragons find out just how much money they could make if they went into business like us I can see a rise of super elite dragon white collar managers running corporations that span various planes rather than sleeping all the time.

I talked with DP when I first proposed it, and he said the old gods could just do it, what with it being a matter of growing plants, which is both the old gods specialty, and one of their favorite things to do.
Or at least that's how I understood his comment, that other gods would find running such a system slightly distasteful, but the old gods have nothing against growing plants, even if it's the same plant over and over again.
It would need a minor advertising and administration action of course, to tell people about the new Weirwood, and set up the reagent collection, the counter for how many healers has been grown, and the free snacks for those who donate, but that's not exactly major actions.
Not really, the blood is immediately consumed to make reagents, so while the reagents could be stolen, the blood is handed over to the old gods right away, who give us reagents for it, which we spend to make healers for our people.

Eurgh, don't. They do not have our eugenics and govermential system in mind. At least, those who aren't amongst us. That path could only lead to Asmodeus-level of eugenics.

Viserys died (of something stupid that I can't remember) once, and Tiamat tempted Dany/us with his resurrection. Apparently, if she/we had said no, Bahamut would have stepped in. It was a bit of a saltfest all around.

... i really don't see how it's Bahumat's fault there, Dany alreaddy had been in contact with Tiamat and from what i got from the conversation with the bahamut cleric bahamut is kinda scattered and low on power, it makes sense to me that Tiamat got there first

This is an argument that has been rehashed to death. Most of the people in the thread really aren't enthusiastic about it being brought up again. But a quick summary of the points for brevity's sake.
And spoilers, obviously, since you're asking for details without having fully read the quest.
1. The reason people were pissed on Dany's behalf was that Bahamut was treating that moment for a child who just lost her brother like a test of character instead of simply helping her. Waymar had a similarly low view of Bahamut for the same reason when he found out.
2. This is a big spoiler, but Bahamut doesn't like us or our empire. This was an OOC post made by DP to minimize on the salt due to how many times this exact same argument keeps getting brought up.

k, just felt very odd while reading it and catching up. what i got from 1 was not a morality test but just Tiamat getting there first but i guess i misinterpreted it and when was 2 posted?

2 is right, but for 1, while yes Bahamut did do that, he literally had no choice but to wait, Dany is red dragon blooded, which mean Tiamat get first dibs, Bahamut couldn't interfere until Dany denied Tiamat, it simply wasn't within his power, so Bahamut decided to be as generous as he could be, and make the payment he required for resurrecting Viserys, be that Dany denied Tiamat, which basically is Bahamut saying, that if Dany act in a way that make it possible for him to help, he will help for free.

That is what i thought happened hence my confusion about the salt, anyway thanks for awnsering my question

I refuse to rehash this argument again. This is why I hate this topic.

Here are the relevant quotes from DP and Azel (who was co-QMing at that moment) :
We had further confirmations from DP stating the same thing since, at least twice IIRC.
I'm not starting the arguments again, btw, just relaying the relevant quotes.

Then stop spreading old misinformation, DragonParadox told us Bahamut was unable to interfere, before Tiamat had made her offer, whether he would have interfered if he could is unknown, he might still have decided to use Tiamat as a test, but it's a fact that he was unable to interfere, we don't know how he would have acted, if that wasn't the case.
The first update is going to be a bit late today, I had something unexpected to do IRL.
You guys are acting like I'm suggesting just leaving the fortress wide open to teleports. The options are not buy the deluxe protection or bust, and we don't actually know how it stacks up functionally against our own magic. The fact that it is more expensive doesn't automatically make it better, if we can get the same effect with some teleport traps and refusals why shouldn't we go that route? We should at the very least evaluate the possibility.
A lot of people are so done with this topic that they won't bother posting the arguments they made when we were actually discussing it. You're not going to get the full context of the conversation, or the details we were going over at the time asking the thread about it now. Try running a thread search on bahamut and reading the last round or two of arguments if you want a better idea on the various positions in the thread.

I haven't started adding stuff into it yet (I'll probably start that this coming weekend), but I went ahead and set up the new crafting sheet for this month. Although we acquired a bunch of new enchanters last month, we only had access to them for part of that time. We'll have much more crafting capacity this month.
Last month, we did 697,863 IM in enchanting, which includes the 10% discounts for sentient Constructs we crafted. This month, however, we will have a crafting capacity of at least 894,000 IM, which is calculated before discounts for sentient Constructs are included or new numbers for the Scholarium are released, which is likely to give us a small handful of new crafters. When it's all said and done, we're likely to have well over 900,000 IM in crafting capacity.
That's good, because we keep finding new strategic projects to work on.

As usual, the "the stuff we added to Companions X, Y, Z"-notes are highly appreciated.
We haven't gotten one for the 11th month, iirc.
