There’s at least one Kidney Lake

I can only say that in my experience, it works ok.

The current app is pretty useful. I can

• access all the content that I have bought on dndbeyond
• view the player characters that are playing in my campaigns
• play my own character(s) as a player, including dice rolls if I want. For major changes to my character it redirects to the website, but it handles all common in-play updates directly in the app (hit points, conditions, inspiration, equipment, preparing spells etc)

Be aware that you can purchase new content in the app or on the website, and the prices may differ between the two. In my case, the app uses Euro prices including VAT, while the website uses USD prices where the Sales Tax/VAT will be added on checkout. Most promotions will only work on the website.

To have one entity that controls all three(+) factions, they must have a goal that is not depending on the success or failure of any faction – it will most likely depend on the fact that there are multiple factions opposing each other. Who is gaining anything from chaos and discord? There are several candidates present in the book:

1. Captain Xendros. She is essentially a foreign agent that cares only about fish for her country, and magic items.
2. Keledek. Just like Xendros, he uses the smugglers to get access to magic items, but he gains security by having a strong-ish government that protects his property.
3. Granny Nightshade. The more inner struggles Saltmarsh and Keoland have, the less they will bother her. The Brotherhood can be a good tool for her to keep the power of the others in check.
4. The Sea Princes. Although the loyalists hate them, supporting this fraction will keep the smuggling operations more profitable, and the princes may also get insight in possible Keoland secret plans through the loyalists. The Brotherhood gives the princes a tool to kill their adversaries in all of Keoland.

Another option that I have thought about is Xolec. Maybe he is connected to other vampires like Strahd? Then there may be Vistani involved as messengers?

There was no question in the post. I’m pretty sure that poster knows what “word size” is in this context.

Elrond left Middle Earth some 2 years after the marriage…

The old version of Owlbear Rodeo is open source now https://github.com/owlbear-rodeo/owlbear-rodeo-legacy but no longer supported.

One of my friends (in the Netherlands) had an acorn bbc computer and we spent so many hours playing this game!
