    ZEITGEIST Strength of the Puma | a campaign set at Pardwight University

    My ZG campaign has been on hiatus since the pandemic began. We were just about to start adv7, which we really want to be back in person for. So how do we keepalive interest in the campaign and setting during the long break? Wacky side adventures! As you are probably aware, there have been...

    ZEITGEIST (anti) paladin in the bleak gate

    Neat ideas going on on both sides of the GM screen there! You want to make sure the surprise is something the player would consider to be "awesome" and not just a "rug pull" that means he feels like the GM took away his character concept. You can really ruin a character this way if you're not...

    ZEITGEIST Other pre-made adventures for RHC

    Due to similarity of setting, any of the Zobeck (Kobold Press) or The Blight (Flying Frog Games) adventures could be adjusted and made to work. In particular, Zobeck's Everyone Lies and Blight's The Crucible would make my shortlist.

    ZEITGEIST Map of the ZEITGEIST setting in the year 522 AOV

    From a 500-ish AOV perspective, Karch (SE Ber) should either not be on the map, or at least a much smaller dot. Similar story to Pezarillo: it exists in 500 AOV, but it's supposed to be small and "off the radar" until certain events occur in the AP. Also, Methia (central Danor) is shown is as...

    ZEITGEIST Adventures in ZEITGEIST setting book now available (formerly an announcement of the Level Up Kickstarter)

    In adv12, it makes it clear that Avilona used to be (metaphysically at least) an Eagle. And now the Eagle has died. So riffing off of that, maybe everyone can see really far? (i.e. the world doesn't need telescopes)

    ZEITGEIST Adventures in ZEITGEIST setting book now available (formerly an announcement of the Level Up Kickstarter)

    But, but, it's available now! And Kickstarter has us trained to react with the utmost FOMO! :)

    ZEITGEIST Adventures in ZEITGEIST setting book now available (formerly an announcement of the Level Up Kickstarter)

    Honestly, it's more than a bit frustrating that you have to pledge for a LU hardcover in order to unlock AiZ hardcover. Especially since AiZ ships separately anyways. I assumed that was because AiZ required LU in some way. If it doesn't, then this decision is ... extra puzzling. I currently...

    ZEITGEIST Adventures in ZEITGEIST setting book now available (formerly an announcement of the Level Up Kickstarter)

    Which A5E rulesets does Adventures in Zeitgeist leverage? I'm assuming Adventurer's Guide (as that seems like the "core book") I'm assuming not Monstrous Menagerie (as AiZ seems to cover that itself in chapter 7) What I can't get a read on is Trials and Treasures.

    ZEITGEIST Death of the Author -- coming soon!

    Spoilers below! In this particular adventure, there are no steam punk elements that really clamor for screen-time. What really comes front and center are: nobles/politicians from a variety of different countries/backgrounds (the particulars of these backgrounds aren't essential, so long as...

    ZEITGEIST Making a new Theme: Archaeologist

    Which rules system?

    ZEITGEIST Adventures in Elfaivar, 522 AOV

    Reminds me strongly of what happened at the beginning of last week's episode of WandaVision. Cool adventure! I love the idea of an Indiana Jones vs Nazis competition to loot the lost city in the jungle, but I hated Paizo's City of Seven Spears (per my extremely long one-star review which you...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist and Roll20, any info?

    Any chance of ZG PF Roll20? We've moved our campaign online and are suffering :-) :-(

    ZEITGEIST Discoveries from the playtest of the ZEITGEIST setting book intro adventure

    you tease so painfully OK, screw it. I'm writing my own post-ZG adventure now. And tell you all about it without letting you play it. That's how I'll get my revenge!

    ZEITGEIST Blades in the dark system in ZG world

    No, but one of my players suggested it. Coincidentally, he suggested it near the end of adv5.

    ZEITGEIST Downward planes

    Here's an idea: Tesseractia Earth & Space The world is four-dimensional. The very fabric of space folds inwards upon itself in Tesseractia, creating a 4th-dimensional axis, in addition to length, width, and height. This new axis, referred to simply as 'depth', is difficult for rational beings...

    ZEITGEIST Discoveries from the playtest of the ZEITGEIST setting book intro adventure

    My thoughts exactly! Also, loving the header-art for the Malice Lands. To your point #2, I found the same thing happening in my regular ZG games. The theme drove the RP, but the powers weren't really used. But then they took the PrCs, and they then used those powers. (I play PF.) And to...

    ZEITGEIST cross-planetary influence?

    But in the Grand Design, Av is stuck in the 8th slot (death) and the Dreaming/BG still reflects Flint (on earth), not the next-nearest planet (Illocus?)

    ZEITGEIST cross-planetary influence?

    Do planet's influence other planets? I had thought that the planets only influence earth. However, in another thread, Ranger Wickett dropped this anecdote from an upcoming book, specifically a writeup of Jiese: That's a reference to Urim's gold-blocks-teleport power. I struggle to make...

    ZEITGEIST what's on the other side of Ziggurats?

    Thanks for that. There's still some gaps in that story that bug me though. (I'll start using Jaamuran as the name for the solar system, but I don't think that works for the planet. So, earth for now.) The one that's bugged me the longest: the necessity-or-not of a sun. In the earth's early...
