Not sure if you changed your mind, or if I'm misremembering and you said it would be in a future adventure rather than the Companion or... |
I revealed that secret on the forums. I never had any intention of revealing it in the Companion. Although certain entries do make the secret more obvious. However I already know the secret, so I have an advantage in spotting it.

Living Island stats can be found in the scenario Within The Skies. The stats were cut from the Companion because they were never referenced by the rest of the text. We must have missed this reference, sorry.

Then if the shadow of the canvas doesn't protect you, how does being in a windowless building, for instance, protect you?
(One possibility I came up with was that however wrapped up you are, to see you have to look, so any direct path from the glow to your eyes effectively lets the influence into you. Which then raises possibilities for someone who's blind to potentially be effectively immune (or, more to the point, fully wrapped/covered, _including the eyes_... since they're used to being blind, they'd be better able to hear/feel their way around like that than most others))
EDIT: also, given the facts about glowborn, how do glowborn Kinsailors work exactly? (I don't mean game mechanics wise but rather who they're summoning, etc...) |
The protection is as much psychological as it is physical. Glowmadness is an affliction of the spirit, so the belief that a sleeping canvas protects them does so.
Glowborn Kinsailors summon goblin ghosts which has raised quite a few questions in and of itself

First I do like the companion however ....
I was REALLY suprised and rather disappointed by the number of typos in the book. Was anyone else bothered by this?

page numbered examples will follow once I have access to the PDF again. |

But what about being in a dark building then? Is that also "just" psychological protection?
| Quote: | | Glowborn Kinsailors summon goblin ghosts which has raised quite a few questions in and of itself |
... So either ghosts aren't souls as such in the Skies, or Goblins are more ensouled than rumor would have it (which would raise certain questions about what happens when one becomes glowborn) or something entirely different.
(Actually, would it break anything future wise if they summoned spirits that were not their ancestors at all?)
And again, thanks for all the answers. |

So belief in a sleeping canvas protects but belief in the wrappings does not protect?
Would "Delusion: does not believe that they can go glomad" or even "Overconfidence" offer protection from glowmadness?
I'm confused.

Ok so I ran the companion through a spellchecker and it was not as bad as I thought. The fact that a standard spellckecker found anything is bad however.
Pg. 15 Equipment table. "Grenadoe and Grenadoe launcher"
Pg. 33 game mechanics for theft. "...clamp down hard on such such activity..."
Pg. 50 Church of the Splintered Soul "Organisation and Goals". I know organisation and organization are both correct spellings but it is a bit jarring to see both versions used in the tame text.
Pg. 50 Church of the Splintered Soul. Organisation and Goals. "...of the apyss are are..."
Pg. 56 Requiem, Organization and Goals "...deus ex machine..."
Pg. 76 The Rotting King. Should it be Truthbearer or Truthspeaker?
Pg. 86 Death by Apathy "...islanders that the hereos have..."
Sorry to be so picky but this kind of stuff really detracts from an otherwise awesome work.

| I don't know about the rest, but grenadoe is an archaic spelling of grenade, possibly spanish in origin. |

Cool learn something new everyday. I called it a typo based on the fact the 'Grenadoe' and 'Grenadoe launcher' are only listed under that spelling on the equipment table. They are 'Grenade' and 'Grenade launcher' everywhere else in the text. It threw me off.
Sorry

I was tad ambivalent about preordering the Companion before, given that the preorder discount was more than canceled out by shipping. In such a case, I'd rather just support the FLGS and buy a copy from there.
However, the Print/PDF combo makes the preorder more enticing.
Still, would it be possible for me to preorder through the FLGS, have the book come in with their stock, and still get the PDF? |

Short answer is NO - long answer - this deal is to get you to order direct from us.

Nice and succinct.
Good to have an answer. I guess I'll grab the preorder, pay the shipping, and just buy a few more snacks from the FLGS. :) |
