5, 10, 15, and 25 of the WotR asks :3 (even tho chances are I won't be able to read most of them lmao)

I cannot get on you too much to Play More WotR considering how invested I also am in Zethadin xD

gonna do Kam bc it's the boy the guy the darling

5: Do they have a family? If so, what kind? Do they miss them? Do they still have hope to see them again?

ahahaha Kam's an amnesiac

secret Kam backstory it doesn't know: it's the middle child of a noble family in Tianjing (a whole country of aasimar charged to defend Golarion). and he loves his siblings! very much! but the weight of expectations to DO SOMETHING with its life was too much and it ran away with a visiting Pathfinder, thinking oh, this is only for a little while. to see the world and show them how much they miss me.

he also has found family in the River Kingdoms and oh boy the SECOND Kam remembers they exist he's off to find them again.

con't in spoiler section

10: What would be the meal that give them a little ability bonus?

Pickled plums. Kam is to all forms of sour plum what fanon Alistair is to cheese.

15: Which companion do they hate/really don't like?

aside from Regill, who never got recruited because Kam hated his vibes so badly... it's a cop-out answer, but Camellia. she scares him. please stop flirting with me Like That.

25: How did they welcome the physical change that came with their mythic powers? Did they embrace it/reject it?

as far as Kam's concerned, it won the fucking jackpot. you're far enough in I don't think it's too spoilery to say yeah, Kam went Azata and got GORGEOUS BUTTERFLY WINGS about it. plus I added in that its eyes went from pale gold Creepy Sclera-less Aasimar to this gorgeous iridescent peacock color. it's great. Kam's happy.

5 spoiler: yeah also Areelu is Mom. Kam was a teenage amnesiac when Areelu found it and spent over a year in her lab going YOU'RE NOT MY REAL MOM! and slamming doors. they both thought it was very nice.

Oi Kokoro, tudo bem? Pode sugerir fcs chinesas que tenham instagram? Pegar foto no weibo e red é muito chato

Olá, coração! Tudo e com você? Sim, posso. Olha, se você não tem muita noção como pegar fotos no weibo e/ou red, eu posso fazer um tutorial aqui depois de terminar o guia de terminologias chinesas. É particularmente uma cultura que aprecio muito, portanto a maioria dos meus personagens costumam ser de lá. E como você não especificou uma idade, tentei pegar em uma gama bem variada, todas com instagram ativo e com bastante resources. Também evitei pegar as idols chinesas que vejo bastante em comunidades como NingNing, Yuqi e Yiren para dar uma variada.

I got to flip through the World Guide earlier this week and am slowly making my way through it now, and it's truly remarkable, in an already-remarkable lineup of similarly deluxe setting books that PF2 boasts.

Tian Xia in First Edition was...messy, to say the least, but it also had a good deal of potential, and it's genuinely impressive how much this book elevates and fleshes it all out - while at the same time not being overwhelming with detail on any one place (it's about 8 pages per nation/region, which still adds up to over 300 pages total in this first book alone).

I'm Polish, so not exactly Asian by any measure, but the authenticity, inspiration, and passion on display in the writing and artwork in this is palpable... And it's just damn cool, fun, and fresh fantasy, you know?

Hoping to one day run some games utilizing this material (places like Tianjing and Wanshou are probably my personal favorites so far!), and equally excited to crack into the accompanying Character Guide later in the year! 😊

Earlier today, Paizo announced long awaited books for their Asian inspired continent Tian Xia. Unlike many other companies attempting projects that large, Paizo went out of their way to hire damn near every Asian TTRPG writer in the business.

 I’ve worked on ~100 books & games. I’m often the only Asian on a project. It’s rare to have more than 1 other Asian on a book with me.

The Tian Xia books?

There were like 40 of us! 😲

I’m really glad that Paizo took the time to do this right. 💚

Players are going to see what a difference that level of representation makes when they get their hands on Tian Xia & see the massive diversity of Asian cultures & experiences reflected in the books.

I’m not just talking about countries or ethnicities; there’s also different stories of identity — diasporic groups, immigrant experiences, people reconnecting with their heritage, refugees, people finding & making places of belonging, … The sheer breadth of Asian experiences and identities represented in Pathfinder’s Tian Xia team and in our books is astounding. 

This is why representation matters.

Could Australia be moving towards the cashless world the WEF wants? (and then there is Canada’s ‘666’ move)

COGwriter

We continue to see more and more moves towards a cashless society around the world. The following report indicates that certain ones in Australia want to do that as well:

Australia has signed a World Economic Forum (WEF) treaty that will see all major banks in the country close as citizens are forced to transition to a fully cashless society. …

Bankwest, a subsidiary of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), is the first bank to close its branches and move the remaining 15 CBA branches in an effort to go fully digital by October 2024. …

This announcement comes as Sydney-based banking software company Constantinople, a startup founded by two former executives of major bank Westpac, unveil a new app called Business+. They claim that this app will be an all-in-one mobile app that can offer Australia’s first end-to-end digital banking platform for the country’s 2.4 million businesses with fewer than 10 employees.

CBA and Westpac are two of Australia’s “Big Four,” or the four largest banks that have traditionally dominated Australia’s banking industry in terms of market share, revenue and total assets. The two others are ANZ and National Australia Bank. …

Great Southern Bank, one of the country’s largest credit unions, has already signed up to launch Business+. CEO and Managing Director Paul Lewis said the company had “taken the best of the neo-bank proposition, digitally first, with what we’re good at, which is the banking license side, regulatory requirements.” Neobanks are digital-only banking platforms that operate solely online.

“We’ve got the whole package, which I think is a first in Australia,” he said, noting that other neobanks launched with only a handful of basic products such as savings accounts, but no lending capability. Small businesses would be able to sign up for an account in under 10 minutes, a time frame he called “fantastic.”

Australian transition to cashless society hitting roadblocks

Australia is transitioning to a cashless society faster than almost anywhere else. Last year, the Australian Banking Association reported that the use of digital wallet payments on smartphones and watches had increased from AU$746 million ($494.28 million) in 2018 to over AU$93 billion ($61.62 billion) in 2022.

Nevertheless, the response to Bankwest’s branch closures shows that there is still strong opposition to Australia’s transition to a fully cashless society.

Many of the bank’s customers, for example, are up in arms over its decision to become Australia’s first major digital-only bank. https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/australia-signs-wef-treaty-to-close-all-major-banks-and-switch-to-fully-cashless-society/

While the above may contain exaggerations and there are objectors to fully digital money, the WEF and many others want a cashless world.

Yet, the World Economic Forum’s (WEF’s) session last summer raised concerns about cashlessness as the tweet at the beginning of this post and the article below suggest:

WEF elites admit potential for ‘darker world’ where CBDCs could be gov’t-controlled

Programmability is a key feature of CBDC, where governments, banks, and their customers could have total control over when, where, and how your money is spent.

June 30, 2023

Governments can program Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) with expiry dates and to restrict undesirable purchases, according to a discussion at the World Economic Forum (WEF) “Summer Davos” meeting in China. … in Tianjing, China, Cornell University professor Eswar Prasad said that “we are at the cusp of physical currency essentially disappearing,” and that programmable CBDCs could take us to either a better or much darker place.

“If you think about the benefits of digital money, there are huge potential gains,” said Prasad, adding, “It’s not just about digital forms of digital currency; you can have programmability – units of central bank currency with expiry dates.”

“You could have […] a potentially better – or some people might say a darker world – where the government decides that units of central bank money can be used to purchase some things, but not other things that it deems less desirable like say ammunition, or drugs, or pornography, or something of the sort, and that is very powerful in terms of the use of a CBDC, and I think also extremely dangerous to central banks.” [Emphases added] …

“So, there are wonderful notions of things that can be done with digital money, but again I fear the technology could take us to a better place, but equally has the potential to take us to a pretty dark place.” …

Speaking at a high-level roundtable on CBDC in Washington, D.C., in October 2022, International Monetary Fund (IMF) deputy managing director and former People’s Bank of China (PBoC) deputy governor Bo Li said of CBDC programmability:

“CBDC can allow government agencies and private sector players to program – to create smart contracts – to allow targeted policy functions. For example, welfare payment; for example, consumption coupons; for example, food stamps.” [Emphasis added]

“By programming CBDC, those money can be precisely targeted for what kind of people can own and what kind of use this money can be utilized,” he added.

So, while Lagarde says that central banks have no interest in programming CBDCs, central banks around the world are indeed exploring programmability, even if the central banks themselves are not the ones doing the actual programming. …

Programmability is a key feature of CBDC, where governments, banks, and their customers could have total control over when, where, and how your money is spent. https://www.lifesitenews.com/analysis/wef-elites-admit-potential-for-darker-world-where-cbdcs-could-be-govt-controlled/?utm_source=top_news&utm_campaign=usa

While there are some pluses with a digital currency, biblically we know that the darker side, the controlling of buying and selling, is coming.

Biblically, it is certain that massive state control over buying and selling will come to Europe (cf. Revelation 13:16-18)– as I have written for many years, some type of electronic currency will be involved. Other prophecies also point to persecution and censorship.

Item number 13 of my list of 24 items to prophetically watch in 2024 was titled CBDC and 666. Related to that, last year I wrote:

13. CBDCs and 666

Notice the following prophecy:

16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:16-18)

This type of financial surveillance could not have happened during the time of the Apostle John as there was no real way to monitor many financial transactions then (despite the fact that ‘preterists’ believe this was fulfilled almost 2000 years ago, see also The Dangerous Rise of Preterists). The same was true for all the centuries that followed until the late 20th and now the 21st century. But now not only does the technology exist to monitor most financial transactions, the political will is there as well.

It will be a European power that will fulfill the above prophecy of 666 (watch Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?).

It will likely take supercomputers aided with artificial intelligence to aid in the fulfillment of the scriptures in Revelation 13:15-18, as well as cyber-spying/monitoring. I do believe that cyber monitoring will be used by the European Beast, King of the North, 666 power. …

While 2024 will not see a cashless world, expect to see more movements towards monitorable payments.

Expect to see more steps related to Central Bank Digital Currencies in 2024.

The fall of the US dollar and the trend towards digital money will concern many.

Look for more totalitarian steps to be proposed and/or implemented in 2024.

This is happening.

Notice also a video we made related to cashlessness:

14:17

Cashlessness and 1984

The government of Belgium is in the process of ordering small businesses to accept credit cards. In Sweden more and more cashless transactions are occurring. The European Central Bank as well as the government of the United States is working on developing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Could this be used for ‘1984’ type monitoring? Is something like this needed for ‘666’ control of buying and selling as warned in the Book of Revelation? Does the European Union now have a unit that could do ‘666’ monitoring? What about the use of gold? Steve Dupuie asks Dr. Thiel various questions related to these topics.

Here is a link to our video: Cashlessness and 1984.

We are getting closer to the day, with technologies unheard of when God inspired John to warn what would happen, that the totalitarian Beast of Revelation will be able to reign as well as enforce 666 controls.

UPDATE 03/19/24: Saw the following today related to Canada:

March 18, 2024

In a major push to seize control of the public’s financial freedom, Canada is radicalizing its banking system by linking citizens’ bank accounts to a tyrannical social credit score.

The Canadian banking system will soon be transformed by a so-called “open banking” framework.

Proponents are framing this as a more “inclusive” way for banks to easily share information and access user data.

However, the move will merge social standings with banking to provide governments and unelected bureaucrats with complete control over our finances. https://slaynews.com/news/canada-links-citizens-bank-accounts-social-credit-score/

In light of the following, I would consider the above a ‘666’ type move:

15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.  (Revelation 13:15-18)

The Bible prophesies the time will come when, if you do not do various things dictators want you to do, they will try to stop you from buying and selling. Canada looks to be moving in that direction, though it is not the 666 beast.

As far as the WEF and CBDCs go, we have the following related video:

14:22

World Economic Forum, CBDCs, and 666

Are there concerns about CBDCs (Central Bank Digitial Currencies)? The Summer meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) was held from June 27-29, 2023 in China. Did WEF speaker and Cornell University professor Eswar Prasad warn of CBDCs could “take us to a pretty dark place’? What did the European Commission say about the future of a digital euro and various protections the same week? Is the tweeted statement, “No one will be able to control how you use your euros” false in the long run according to biblical prophecies, such as Revelation 13:16-18? Is there a real ability to program a CBDC with an expiration date as well as restricting what it could be used to purchase? Has monitoring of purchase transactions been proposed by various European leaders? Does the EU already have a potential enforcement arm of ‘666’? Has the European Central Bank said that cash was “not fit for the digital economy’? Are we moving more towards a cashless world? Are things really changing towards that? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel discuss these and other matters.

Here is a link to our  video: World Economic Forum, CBDCs, and 666.

Are YOU paying attention? Things are changing and will not remain as they have.

Orwell’s 1984 by 2024? In 1949, the late George Orwell wrote a disturbing book about a totalitarian government called “nineteen-eighty four.” Despite laws that are supposed to protect freedom of speech and religion, we are seeing governments taking steps consistent with those that George Orwell warned against. We are also seeing this in the media, academia, and in private companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. With the advent of technology, totalitarianism beyond what Orwell wrote is possible. Does the Bible teach the coming a totalitarian state similar to George Orwell’s? What about the Antichrist and 666? Will things get worse? What is the solution?

okok i couldn't resist flipping immediately to the chapter on tianjing and thinking about jun

and growing up as an aasimar (now called empyreans but... yknow) in a nation of mostly aasimar. a nation known for closing a wound similar to the worldwound and guarding against it ever opening again. lots of pressure to live up to that legacy of heroism, surrounded by monasteries and temples and this expectation of goodness and holiness because of his bloodline. and he finds it extremely stifling

so he leaves to travel tian xia. falls into a small fringe cult of zon-kuthon and ends up making the journey across the sea to Nidal (where ZK worship prevails) and still... finds himself in mendev at the worldwound, so similar to the thing that the foundations of his home country are built on. the history and legacy he'd run away from. and then devoting himself to closing it.

we love circular narratives and recurring themes and character development.

he originally goes to mendev undercover as an inquisitor of abadar, although truly he's seeking to deepen his devotion to zon-kuthon in the chaos going on there, after having a mini crisis of faith.

i know he alignment shifts from lawful evil to lawful neutral but i'm still thinking about if he'll reject Zon-Kuthon entirely or just adapt his worship of him (other deity options would be jin li, desna, tsukiyo)

maybe retraining entirely from an inquisitor to something more distant from the gods (i have already decided in pf2e he'd be the upcoming commander class, which is like focused on team stuff similar to his pwotr inquisitor build)

Shennong Ruler (unsure of the actual Chinese title)

This is a high fantasy Xianxia, and honestly who doesn't want to ride into battle on a... giant horned quadruped of some sort.

Shennong is a famous mythological emperor; you can learn more here.

Synopsis:

After the war between ancient gods and demons, the god king used the demon refining furnace, the Tianjing sword, and the Shennong ruler to seal the demon god Potian, imprisoned him in the dry well of purgatory, and passed the three artifacts to the Moyue clan, the Xuanwu clan, and the Xiuxianyuan respectively.

Thousands of years later, the king of gods fell, and the Xuanwu clan, regardless of their ancestors' training, launched a war to obtain the artifact for the sake of greater strength. The relatively weak Moyue clan was slaughtered, and the patriarch had to send Mo General Yue Jiang Cheng went to the Temple of Gathering Spirits, a mysterious forbidden area, to ask for help. As a mysterious organization guarding the well of purgatory, Xiu Xian Academy, in order to prevent the aggregation of artifacts from being publicly revealed for the first time, Patriarch Mo Yue was worried that the Xuanwu clan would make a comeback, and sent Jiang Cheng to worship in the Xiuxian Academy. During the tricks of his fellow robes, Jiang Cheng worked hard to cultivate, and Jiang Cheng grew by leaps and bounds. With the death of the head of the Xiuxianyuan, a big conspiracy began to surface. At the time of life and death, Jiang Cheng led the brothers and sisters to fight against the spies of the demon tribe, and finally Stop the devil from coming.

Las élites del WEF admiten potencial para un "mundo más oscuro" donde las CBDC podrían ser controladas por el gobierno

La programabilidad es una característica clave de CBDC, donde los gobiernos, los bancos y sus clientes podrían tener control total sobre cuándo, dónde y cómo se gasta su dinero.

(El Sociable) Los gobiernos pueden programar monedas digitales del banco central (CBDC) con fechas de vencimiento y restringir las compras indeseables, según una discusión en la reunión "Davos de verano" del Foro Económico Mundial (FEM) en China.

El miércoles, en la 14ª Reunión Anual de los Nuevos Campeones del FEM, también conocida como "Davos de verano", en Tianjing, China, el profesor de la Universidad de Cornell, Eswar Prasad, dijo que "estamos en la cúspide de la moneda física esencialmente desapareciendo", y que las CBDC programables podrían llevarnos a un lugar mejor o mucho más oscuro.

"Si piensas en los beneficios del dinero digital, hay enormes ganancias potenciales", dijo Prasad, y agregó: "No se trata solo de formas digitales de moneda digital; Puede tener programabilidad: unidades de moneda del banco central con fechas de vencimiento".

"Podrías haber [...] un mundo potencialmente mejor, o algunas personas podrían decir un mundo más oscuro, donde el gobierno decida que las unidades de dinero del banco central se pueden usar para comprar algunas cosas, pero no otras cosas que considere menos deseables, como municiones, drogas, pornografía o algo por el estilo, y eso es muy poderoso en términos del uso de una CBDC, y creo que también es extremadamente peligroso para los bancos centrales". [Énfasis añadido]

El profesor de Cornell continuó diciendo que "en última instancia, si tiene diferentes unidades de dinero del banco central con diferentes características, o si usa el dinero del banco central como un conducto para las políticas económicas de una manera muy específica, o más ampliamente para las políticas sociales, eso realmente podría afectar la integridad del dinero del banco central y la integridad e independencia de los bancos centrales".

"Entonces, hay nociones maravillosas de cosas que se pueden hacer con dinero digital, pero nuevamente me temo que la tecnología podría llevarnos a un lugar mejor, pero igualmente tiene el potencial de llevarnos a un lugar bastante oscuro". [Subrayado añadido]

Mientras Prasad destacó que la programación de CBDC para políticas económicas o sociales podría afectar la integridad de los bancos centrales, la presidenta del Banco Central Europeo, Christine Lagarde, explicó recientemente que la programabilidad se dejaría a los bancos comerciales.

Hablando en la Cumbre de Innovación del Banco de Pagos Internacionales (BIS) en marzo, Lagarde dijo a sus compañeros panelistas que un banco central no estaría a cargo de programar una moneda digital.

"Para nosotros [los bancos centrales], la emisión de una moneda digital que sería dinero del banco central no sería programable, no estaría asociada con ninguna limitación particular, ya sea en el tiempo, en el tipo de uso, que para mí sería un cupón. No sería una moneda digital", dijo Lagarde.

"Aquellos que pueden asociar el uso de la moneda digital con la programabilidad serían los intermediarios, serían los bancos comerciales".

"Y ese es su negocio. Saben cómo hacerlo, pero si vamos a decir que un dólar es un dólar, ya sea efectivo o digital; o un euro es un euro, efectivo o digital, entonces para nosotros [el banco central] no puede ser programable".

"Se puede asociar con la condicionalidad, que es diferente, pero no programable", agregó.

Hablando en una mesa redonda de alto nivel sobre CBDC en Washington, DC, en octubre de 2022, el subdirector gerente del Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) y ex vicegobernador del Banco Popular de China (PBoC), Bo Li, dijo sobre la programabilidad de CBDC:

"CBDC puede permitir que las agencias gubernamentales y los actores del sector privado programen, para crear contratos inteligentes, para permitir funciones políticas específicas. Por ejemplo, el pago de asistencia social; por ejemplo, cupones de consumo; por ejemplo, cupones de alimentos". [Subrayado añadido]

"Al programar CBDC, ese dinero puede ser dirigido precisamente a qué tipo de personas pueden poseer y qué tipo de uso se puede utilizar este dinero", agregó.

Entonces, mientras Lagarde dice que los bancos centrales no tienen interés en programar CBDC, los bancos centrales de todo el mundo están explorando la programabilidad, incluso si los propios bancos centrales no son los que hacen la programación real.

Por ejemplo, el Banco de la Reserva de la India está explorando una CBDC programable con fechas de vencimiento.

Y en Nigeria, "las billeteras individuales y comerciales de eNaira tienen diferentes límites en los límites de transacciones diarias y la cantidad de eNaira que se puede mantener en ellas, dependiendo de su nivel de diligencia debida del cliente", según el informe de noviembre de 2022 del BIS sobre CBDC en África.

En julio de 2021, el vicegobernador del Banco de Rusia, Alexey Zabotkin, dio un ejemplo real de cómo podría ser la programabilidad de CBDC cuando habló en el ejercicio anual de capacitación en ciberseguridad Cyber Polygon.

Allí, Zabotkin explicó:

"Este [rublo digital] permitirá una mejor trazabilidad de los pagos y el flujo de dinero, y también explorará la posibilidad de establecer condiciones sobre los términos permitidos de uso de una unidad monetaria determinada".

"Imagínese que puede darles a sus hijos algo de dinero en rublos digitales y luego restringir su uso para la compra de comida chatarra, por ejemplo".

"Esa sería una funcionalidad útil para un cliente y, por supuesto, puede crear cientos de otros casos de uso similares".

La programabilidad es una característica clave de CBDC, donde los gobiernos, los bancos y sus clientes podrían tener control total sobre cuándo, dónde y cómo se gasta su dinero.
