So has anyone made plans for land speculation yet in light of the Waystone project, like buying up the Drakwald for a song?

That reminds me of an old comment Boney made once about how no one in the Empire would care if we were to march into the forest, kill some monsters, and colonise the land as its Lord—provided that we pay our taxes when the taxman eventually turns up.

Shame I can't actually find the comment right now.

This does feel like the sort of thing someone would have asked you before or may have weighed in on, but there has been a lot of posts and I've been wondering.

While I have a memory of you saying that the waystones are integrated objects and creating[/implementing] design A does not make it easier to create[/implement] design B, even if they had the same transmission methods or capstone, does this also be the case specifically for the Reverse-engineered storage method?

i.e. if we pick reverse engineered storage method here, would the practice the people making the waystones have with that storage method be useful if constructing another desigs that uses the it, or would the other different components mean that the reverse engineered method would be implemented in a too different manner for the lessons learned/refinements made to be transferrable?

Improvements from that specifically would carry over between designs.

Overall that is 252 pretty much dead average for 5d100 (252.5) with Ranald presumably pushing it up to 292

And the second one is 212 which is above the average of 202 on four dice, but that 10 is nasty, presumably this is where the Coin goes.

Oof, might have got a bit fucked on transmission and foundation connection, and our storage roll is not great either, but we did well on most other things.
 
Hey, we might be able to indetify the problem and try again. We actually got decent roll on connections (for the most part), just need to refine some stuff.
 
Hmm, we have The Gambler on those rolls. I'm not sure if I want it to try to save the really bad rolls or boost some of the mediocre rolls so at least most pieces turn out useful.

Keep in mind that rolls are not just what we have done, they also to an extent define what can be done. The thing that might have happened if we rolled 100 on Liminal Realms for instance does not exist because the laws of the universe do not allow it, especially with that 10 it is entirely possible that dual transmigration and Grey Lord Foundation do not play well together.
 
That 28 on the super ambitious storage is the funniest part. Glad it doesn't represent the entirety of the thing, but mannn what a start xD
Just to be clear I am not unhappy about this, just amused
 
So if we do not get a working stone do we delay Elfication? It seems kind of odd to just drop the project on the finish line do go play assassin with the Shadowwalkers. Or do we just drop the Protector, and try one more time with the Gambler on the turn we leave?

Depends on what we get out of the rolls. Would not be surprised if it is functional but there are flaws that arise once we set it up so the Elfcation can be justified as something Mathilde does during the waiting phase.
 
I sense a smug Thorek in the future, since the Rune and the Rune-Capstone Interconnection both work well, every other part got a low roll either for itself or one of its interconnections. :whistle:

I would be surprised if we do not get some answers on how well the stone performs or not until the start of the turn after-next, which is how the end of Elfcation would work out time-wise. Still if it is even somewhat workable I could see the thread going for it, there has been a lot of anticipation for the action.

IIRC we can split the elfcation between two turns. We could just do one or two of the actions next turn, the rest happening at the beginning of the turn after that, and dedicate one or two actions to fixing/refining the Waystone design.

That's assuming it can be more or less 'easily' fixed, of course. If it's a matter of 'Grey Lord Foundation doesn't work with Mixed transmission', or something like that, and we have to figure out an alternative design, it might be a good idea to delay it until we have a working prototype.
