We have Bob on the comms when we finally settle in to return to real space. I take a last glance at the big screen and the Drift, that infinite void, the nothingness broken up by floating pink and purple clouds of mysterious energy. We shut everything down to engage the Drift eng...

Stealth by JackSimth

Chapter 17

We settle on a stealth build. Yes, it's not entirely reliable, but we pick up a Gray Cloak. Just a “Budget” model, but the point isn't the level of sensors it can fool up close… but the matter that no sensors can see through it at all from enough distance. We of course also pair...

Mythic Planning by JackSimth

Chapter 18

We go through and plan everything out. We all have to end up as Heirophants - which works well for me: I am a Divine Caster, and Inspired Spell rocks - but doesn't work nearly as well for anyone else (Spheres of Power doesn't do the Arcane/Divine/Psychic divide, and doesn't have...
