I just straight up don’t get the setup for the puzzle. I’ve read so many times but just don’t understand it. Can someone try explaining it to a dunce (i.e., me) before I run it for my players?

Hi folks! At long last, the Zeitgeist campaign I've wanted to DM forever has kicked off! We're actually streaming it--you can find watch here on our Twitch or, afterwards, check out the VODs, recaps, DM notes, and other content on our YouTube. The streams will be ~every other week on Fridays at...

So, even though the PLAYERS were suspicious of Rachel Lang's "blessing," they all decided it was in character for them to take it. Obviously it does not affect Amielle. But is everyone else basically required to die? Can the bond be removed like other curses (even though we only have a couple...

Once the players (hopefully) defeat Damius, is the idea that they get back up to the entrance of the jail by...jumping back into the chute that spat them out and walking back through the the whole jail area? Or am I missing a shortcut somewhere.

Hi folks! My group is about to start up a campaign (which I'm very excited to post diaries of here!). Based on the players' backstories below, I'd love for any of you luminaries to help me think of interesting tie-ins, suggested embellishments/changes, plot points, and most of all, a sort of...

Spoilers!!! Following the big fight on the Wayfarer ship, everyone seems set on finding Lee Sidoneth, having identified him as the culprit. My question is—how do we know he did anything wrong at that point?

During and after adventure 3, it seems there are a few things going on...Some people say the best thing to do is go look for the lantern in Korskull, others say you have to go to the Monastery to investigate Pilus (one of my players is especially intrigued by this, as they are a monk of the East...

To start off, let's not argue politics. Regardless of whether you think it's great or evil or whatever, take it for granted here that I want my version of the AP to have Nicodemus represent not just the idea of hegemonic thought/lack of free will, but more of an explicit liberal ethos (e.g., we...

So, I've read the campaign guide a few times and...I just don't get what the Axis Seal is, what its intent was, and how it "works." Can someone help a bit?

Hey folks, I'd like to run Zeitgeist but in more of a homebrew setting--not too much of a departure thematically, but a little more emphasis on the sorta industrial revolution stuff and maybe a bit more of a "weird/absurd" feel to the different cultures. What's the best way I knew which things I...

Hi folks! Anyone have a good token or, preferably, a top-down mini of an Inquisitor for use with VTT?

Title says it all, I reckon. My group of 6 PCs is breezing through all combat (using the adjustment rules in the campaign books, of course), and Torrent being there makes it easier, not to mention longer. It seems based on my scan of the first 3 adventures that she doesn't absolutely have to...

How do you folks stitch together the PDF maps to make a full map for online play? I’m having a heck of a time putting them together in a way that doesn’t mess with the grid. Or is there some place to get full maps that aren’t divided into printable quadrants? Printable was awesome...before COVID...

Hi folks, I made the mistake of going all in to FG before realizing that WotBS is available as a module on Roll20. So now I have a lot of work to do! Has anyone taken the maps generously provided by the team and turned them into FG maps? What's the process like? In addition, there are lots of...

Hi folks! Simple topic: I'm thinking of running either WotBS or Zeitgeist in 5E and note that they both start at Level 3. What do we do for the first three levels!?

Has anyone attempted or even contemplated this? I was about to start a pathfinder Zeitgeist campaign, but am now REALLY interested in taking it over to 5e, but am not a super experienced DM so I'd have to have everything prepared/converted ahead of time. If no one has done it, can someone...
