    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist for Hero Lab?

    I saw something posted about a Zeitgeist data set for Hero Lab. I'm planning to start my favorite campaign for some friends using Pathfinder rules and thought I'd ask if the dataset is available anywhere? I'd take a 4e set too if that's all that is available.

    Possible cover designs for Adventure 8 - Diaspora; feedback requested

    I feel as though I like both equally. If given the option, I'd like to see the top option applied to all the Paragon level modules for 4E and another for Epic levels (and their Pathfinder counterparts). That might not be an option but I'd like to see the separation.

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist difficulty level

    Many times, my players don't pick up on things right away. For example, in the Dying Skyseer (their favorite module we've run so far) and in Digging for lies, they didn't put 2 & 2 together until towards the very end. In Always on Time, I went a bit more obvious with some of the clues (abusing...

    Adventure 8 update

    Amazing art as usual. Again, I sure hope you can make the art available as prints. That lion picture would look great in my office.

    B-Team Stats

    I was looking at the B-Team stats and noticed they don't have any healing surges for the cleric's healing power. Should I give them standard healing surges for the class type, make the power not use a surge, or would it be wiser to build them as similarly styled pcs? I was thinking it would be...

    Design Philosophy behind Steamsuit Pilot PP

    I was secretly hoping nobody would mention that, but your suggestion is a really good one. Not only does the higher ac make it harder for minions to hit, but when they do, it isn' quite so problematic. I'll have to look into it.

    Design Philosophy behind Steamsuit Pilot PP

    One of my players is looking at the Steamsuit Pilot Paragon Path for 4e. Something he asked me about was why the pp had so many drawbacks. For example, most if not all of the powers had a down side (weakened, immobilized, defenseless) for using them and even being hit while in the suit can be...

    LeBrix Lives!

    As I've mentioned before, my players hated Julian LeBrix because I played him poorly. They hated him so much that they leveraged their assistance with Damate Griento into a dinner metting with LeBrix in a fine dining establishment. My players, pulling a 180 on me, decided to work with LeBrix...

    Including and altering races

    I've used other races not usually found in this campaign as well. We've had numerous Shifters, Changelings, and of course lots of humans and dwarves. One of my players wanted to play a Hamadryad at the start and I made him roll human and as the game progressed, the character slowly reverted...

    Alternative Firearms rules? [4e]

    My group started off using the Killing Tool variant. At first, it wasn't so bad but once we got a ranger that used firearms with twin strike and had reloading feats I had to change them. Toward the end of Dying Skyseer, I ruled that the extra forceful ammo they had been using is in very short...

    Dying Skyseer - Industrial Disaster [SPOILERS]

    IIRC, the woman in the floor is what caught my players' attention and got then to put the amulets on. The Flayed Jaguar served as a breadcrumb for them to tie the scenes together. My players, while they enjoyed the module, often had no idea what was going on. If not for these breadcrumbs...

    Advice on Always on Time (spoilers - DMs only)

    I let them havy it for clever use of game mechanics...and physics. I made the player make a d20 role +3 to blow the supports and he made my dc. I had the tower collapse eastward as looking at the map normally but game Ottavia only half damage from the fall since she was on top and and I didn't...

    Advice on Always on Time (spoilers - DMs only)

    We just finished the Odim Island encounter. Our warlord strapped blastpatches to the supports inside the base of the tower and DROPPED THE TOWER ON OTTAVIA. Did not see that coming.

    Advice on Always on Time (spoilers - DMs only)

    I did something similar with Bree. I let slip too early in the module that Bree was the one they were looking for and for funsies, made Bree and Bergeron lovers (I don't think they were in the module). This really tugged on my players' collective heartstrings so they kind of let her off the...

    Question about Experience and Leveling

    Apparently I played him up as a giant douchecanoe and did such a good job that not only did they spend the entire adventure trying to prove he was guilty of the girl's murder but I've spent time in every module since with some random NPCs trying to convince the players that he's really not a bad...
