    ZEITGEIST List of Pop Culture References in Zeitgeist

    Yes! Thank you, I was honestly doubting my sanity. The madness now infects another campaign (in a slightly different form)

    ZEITGEIST List of Pop Culture References in Zeitgeist

    I've had a half-formed fanon idea based on a vague memory that one of the worlds (in Gyre?) had a single continent with 12 sea bays, inhabited by ingenious dwarves (reference to Dwarf Fortress). I can swear I've seen this somewhere but I can't find it now. Anyone? Did I dream all this?

    ZEITGEIST Gunslingers in Zeitgeist (4e)

    Alternative Firearms rules? [4e] yay, here's my thread from back in the day discussing firearms in detail. There are some ideas there, but still no concrete solutions.

    ZEITGEIST Gunslingers in Zeitgeist (4e)

    Ahahaha, I remember exactly the same problem when we were starting an unholy number of years ago! You don't even need Alchemical Launcher/Ammunition Clip, Battle harness armor allows drawing an unlimited number of grenades per turn, then you just throw them by hand (and 4e economy ensures that...

    ZEITGEIST ZEITGEIST in legacy character builder

    Which themes exactly? Lvl 10 usually doesn't give a power, it gives a feature, which is listed on the first page of character sheet, along with class features.

    ZEITGEIST ZEITGEIST in legacy character builder

    It does include themes and paragon paths. I'll add you to convo with the link to Syberis files and my current add-on (with select items up to adventure 12). I believe I've seen these shared in 4eDND Discord which I recommend in general for resources and advice. EDIT: ... will add as soon as I...

    The D&D 4th edition Rennaissaince: A look into the history of the edition, its flaws and its merits

    You piqued my interest enough to make me dig through 30 pages of this thread in search of that post. I second the opinion that rules for "light combats" would alleviate 4e problems. Do you have any ideas how this would be accomplished or is that just an abstract wish?

    ZEITGEIST Axis Seal size

    From adventure 10: I think the description is a bit different in some other part of the campaign, but this is the one I'm using currently. IIRC Born's height also varies a bit at several points... So your last guess is correct, the gold seal will cover the inner-most ring, it's much bigger than...

    ZEITGEIST Forward-thinking the Forward Symposium

    I really regret not keeping up the campaign journal in any way, shape or form here, because I do see the advantages of this. In the briefest of forms, another short session. Two avengers constructed a (temporary, via Hallowed Temple ritual) shrine of Srasama at the place of her death, resisting...

    ZEITGEIST Deathwyrm's Zeitgeist Campaign - Clockwork Eclipse

    Incredible write-up, looking forward for the pictures! If you can post the list with updated planar traits here, it would be much appreciated.

    ZEITGEIST Deathwyrm's Zeitgeist Campaign - Clockwork Eclipse

    Congratulation! How much did the structure of the last adventures survive from the published form? Did you run the battle with VoR and the final Axis Island encounter in parallel, judging from the photo?

    ZEITGEIST RNS Coaltongue Map

    You may be thinking about this thread I don't think there was a version with higher res than in in compilation, see attached, you probably can upscale and sharpen it with AI

    ZEITGEIST Looking for Solution: Infinite scrolling physical map

    But which encounter really needs a moving background around the train? IIRC there's hydra, but the train is immobile, there's lantern trap, but all enemies fly up to the train top or into the cars.

    Fiction Writer's Thread

    I hope this doesn't count as an advertisement, but the only example I'm following since ~2012 is Wildbow, who's been writing web serials in wordpress blog format (in very different genres), with monetization via Patreon since 2015. If I'm reading Graphtreon correctly, this gets him about 5k$ per...
