    ZEITGEIST Few questions after running a few sessions

    Fog of war! Mistakes in the heart of battle! In terms of explaining the event in-universe, it might be easiest to chalk it down to 'the PCs were in a hurry to open the gates and couldn't take prisoners', whether or not that's strictly true. I'm sure every GM has a story of the time a PC...

    ZEITGEIST Few questions after running a few sessions

    Not sure about vetoing items. Risur does not have many clear laws. I believe the book specifically says that the RHC do not use a warrant system; rather, the PCs are free to demand entry anywhere they wish (barring diplomatic problems), so long as they can justify themselves to their superiors...

    ZEITGEIST Undercover at the Convocation

    You could have the PCs research the Officers before they arrive, and pick the ones they want to bodysnatch. The others can either be left to proceed to the convocation, or arrested by the RHC off-screen. Though this may raise some suspicions.

    ZEITGEIST Question about Act 3 [Spoilers]

    Nicodemus seems like an excellent option. Perhaps paired with the Elfaivaran women-ghosts on his islet.

    ZEITGEIST What if the wand smugglers succeed?

    It's a little like if a shipment of guns and rifles makes its way into a city's criminal underworld. Crimes and turf battles get more violent, with more bystanders killed, and the police/private security escalate with their own weapons and crackdowns. With that said, wands have a lot more...

    ZEITGEIST Adventure 5 Canal Route and Attending the Banquet

    '31 people' is ringing zero bells for me. Might be a 5e thing? Here's what the 4e version says: Social. Montage. If the party goes the Canal Route, they can bring along perhaps a handful of allies—if they’re using amulets, there are only enough for the PCs, Asrabey, Alexander Grappa (in his...

    ZEITGEIST Adventure 5 Canal Route and Attending the Banquet

    The canal option isn't a perfect route. Book 2, 'How does the smuggling plot work': Even then, a final spell is required to keep the item (or person) from returning to the real world five minutes later. Guards on the Bleak Gate side have wands for this purpose. By Book 5, the PCs may have...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitvice: one GM's guide to the best AP

    Mmm, good catch. I think the best resolution would be that Stanfield intended to rule without the Rites. I can see Nic being happy to have Risur ruled by someone not so empowered or responsible to the people, who could not become a challenge to the Ob.

    ZEITGEIST Zeitvice: one GM's guide to the best AP

    As-written, the assassination is a smorgasboard of fights, and the GM is meant to basically pick a few encounters for the PCs to fight and let NPC allies handle the rest. By 'repeating a lot of fights' I'm referring to the six lanterns, each protected by the exact same set of enemies. Obviously...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitvice: one GM's guide to the best AP

    Mmm, lots to consider with this particular issue. It's hard to trick the players that Flint is the key ritual site when there is a 500-ft iron colossus elephant missing from the room. But, that's only a problem on the day. Your players may quickly deduce that Axis Island is where it's at. My...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitvice: one GM's guide to the best AP

    No draft. If I were to draft it, issues would be... Book 9 feels like it doesn't know what's in Book 10. Feels a little strange that the Great Hunt need to be tricked into harassing the Hedgehog Court with the rabbit, when the Great Hunt are at the Unseen Court's command. But, maybe that's fey...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist session 0 in 5e

    One possibility is that the book's author is a member of the 'Fists of Pala', a briefly-mentioned Malice Land organization who are Millerists. No connection to the Ob, I believe. Look up Book 8; 'Angus Perasmus' I think? Nic's been floating around for 500 years, plenty of time for him to write...

    ZEITGEIST Lya Jierre motivations

    Let's see what the books say. Book 1: An ambitious tiefling in her late 20s. For the past three years she has worked with King Aodhan to keep the peace between their two nations, and as they began making plans for a formal alliance, she accepted the king’s offer of marriage as a symbolic union...

    ZEITGEIST Bruse's Challenges (Spoilers)

    My party had much the same reaction. It was a big part of their motivation to immediately declare that Shantus was unworthy to lead, support Cavallo's daughter for the role, and vow to help both railway companies bridge the nation as fast as possible, ignoring his order to compete. Switching to...
