Y'know, I'm not sure any other group I've read about actually tried going down the canal with medallions this early in the campaign. Thanks for the write-up.

First of her name. Aww, cute. I am quite excited to see how this plays out. Of all the iterations of ZEITGEIST I've read, Gabriel is the PC with, like, the biggest grievance against the Clergy.

That's neat. Are you still playing once a year for like a week? Was the most recent session in October?

If you make it to Skye, way on the north western edge there's Castle MacLeod. It has a very nice garden. Probably not worth driving all the way there just for that. But we stayed with a very nice lady who lived at the Northwest point of Skye, and that was an attraction that was relatively close.

Do note, though, that the original 3rd edition version of the adventure was smaller. Encounters were added in the 4e version (nominally, I believe, to provide more XP because 3e went to 20th level and 4e went to 30th), and many of those encounters stick out as not being as narratively...

Oh wow, old thread to bump, but welcome! There are a lot of parts of GMing that get intuitive once you've done it enough. A big part is - like jazz - deciding what not to do. The focus of The Gauntlet is that you're being hounded by people up top and driven toward a threat up ahead. I...

Fifteen years down the line, after a randomly stressful day of managing a new but not fate-of-the-world crisis, Auryn slumps onto that bed and is juuuuust drifting off to sleep when a fey pops out of the wall and begins blasting a trumpet to wake her up, because word reached the Dreaming of...

Sorry for the delay in my response. I am thrilled to see several updates! I so appreciate this moment. It has nudged me to get back to writing something I was letting fall by the wayside, but that I want to see done, so I can give a story closure. So thank you.

The somewhat unsatisfying answer would be that remove curse works on curses, not thoughtforms that have possessed you. Protection from Evil would have an effect, giving Xambria advantage on any new saves to resist, but it doesn't expel a possessing entity. Sijhen would just stay quiescent until...

I'm amused by Pemberton casually bribing law enforcement with jewels from his hoard.

In 2E I saw a fighter solo a good chunk of the Green Bay Packers stadium. (One very bored morning waiting for a ride, we got out a sheet of paper and just rolled dice ticking off kills as Babb the Bold hewed through both teams of football players (statted as orcs) and then about 1300 people...

My apologies. It's a small continuity glitch. It happens when you write something in 2010, then when designing the finale in 2013 you realize you need to keep the action a bit more centralized, so you just hope nobody remembers the first bit. You can just say that the central Axis Seal ritual...

Terribly sorry. I realize now I deleted the images about a year ago because I figured they were just taking up space in my Google Drive. I imagine EN Publishing still has the originals stashed somewhere, but the company's ZEITGEIST website doesn't have them, as far as I can see. You might try...

Yeah, that was a cool variation. Great of you to give them all a chance to resolve their affairs. Congratulations! To you, and to your players! Four years is a massive commitment of time, and I feel like it's so rare for groups to actually finish a full campaign. I hope you can cherish the...

Wow. Okay, I got this far - WotBS - Bonus Time's Burning Sky - and will need to come back to read the rest!
