With a ballista??? With a fucking siege weapon???

... there must be something in a rules against that ...

sounds like an awesome game. No matter how it ended, it was their game and their choice, and in my opinion, that is more important

The attempt on my life left me scared and deformed, but I assure you that my resolve has never been stronger

Short answer: No
Long answer: If I am using milestone method, everyone will be the same level. If I am giving XP, you don't get XP when you are not playing

it is up to us, as a product users, to fix those issues in our private games. Not to wait for corporation approval

we should not expect from corporations to fix issues such as racism. They are not your friends, they are here for profit. Just look at google removing black history month from calendar. Corporations are not your friends, not your allies. They will tomorrow support slavery and genocide if profitable

Now we just need him to proclaim the first galactic empire, for safe and secure society

Prequels were maybe weak movies but prequel era was great. Episode 3 is probably my favorite Star Wars movie.

Corruption effect are really long term. It might take years for them to manifest, sometimes not even then. 5/ fin

That is how tieflings are made in my setting, since humans and fiends are not genetically compatible, and they cannot reproduce using the normal means.
As for the game mechanics of the corruption, there is none. There is no Create Corruption spell, no Spread Corruption special ability. 4/

Landscape might change to resemble the environment of the native dimension where that entity comes from. As for people, they might rarely experience mutations if they live in that area for a long time, and newborn babes might be born with those mutations already. 3/

Corruption is mostly spread unintentionally, as a side effect. For example, in the area where powerful demon or similar creature was summoned, corruption can linger for decades.

Now for the effects of corruption: it has effect on the landscape, flora and fauna, just as well on the people. 2/

>corruption, what does this shit even look like and what does it do
Well, i am glad you asked. In my setting, corruption is spread through the contact with the supernatural, extraterrestrial entities. Source of their corruption is strong innate magical ability of those creatures. 1/

How about, look for ideas in published adventures that you can stick into your homebrew
