Once Brakken reached Axis Island, his Beran contingent were able to reestablish the teleportation circle link with Risur, which got the party to Axis Island without having to deal with She-Who-Writhes (yet). Pemberton welcomed them to the current HQ of Pemberton Industries, and offered...

I introduced clocks after the Great Eclipse, figuring that it was a good opportunity to introduce new mechanics. I also floated using a modified version of the 13th Age escalation die, but they didn't like how I wanted to scale faster, and scale damage as well as attack bonuses. I may bring up...

We just finished up our group's (mostly) annual week-long D&D get-together. Our progress slowed down again this year, as one of the players moved to another time zone and the overlap gives us significantly less time to work with during our weekly online sessions. We're going to try to figure out...

One thing we talk about sometimes is what other groups have done. For example, I mentioned to my players that they're the only party I know about that managed to save the King. Reginald's player was curious to know whether any groups ended up swearing fealty to Gradiax, the Steel Lord. I don't...

Cool, I'll invent some stuff this week. We play online weekly, although some weeks we just hang out and catch up rather than advancing the plot. But once a year we get together in person for a week, and I try to line that up with something climactic. One year, we had the Ob Conclave sequence...

Update! Reginald's player couldn't make the get-together, but we still had a week where we played more D&D than usual, and he joined remotely for our sessions. The remaining time was filled with lounging around, board games, cocktails, and cooking. We lined things up so I ran the Flint...

Wow, okay, so it's been a minute. I can't believe I haven't posted a real update since 2014, or a brief update since 2018. This game is still going! The players just got to the fort on the Governor's island in Flint to try and stop Stanfield's ritual. We're taking a break for a month or so due...

Thanks! I spent a long time thinking about what a sweeping compromise proposal would look like. I made a spreadsheet of planes and aspects and went through everything with the information I had at the time (since obviously act 3 hadn't been written yet!) to try and make it as internally...

I could also really use the link to this. With 4E DDI going away, I'm working on migrating my stuff and my players' stuff, and having even a subset of the Zeitgeist content would be a big help.
