IMO if there is a problem here it is that the Wolfgang thread has three scenes in a row where the PC's really cannot affect things much. With Kell in the theater they really have no choice but to hand over the cash if they want to find Wolfgang in a timely manner. This is immediately followed...

9/22 Session Gaming resumes with the party pondering whether to do Cippiano's “tiny” favor. In the end they decide doing what he wants has short term benefits and minimal long term drawbacks so they fudge their reports. This will get the Bravura's charges dropped in a few days but that isn't...

Z2 2nd Nit Apologies for splitting this but I'm having trouble posting. EnWorld keeps hanging when I try to post. My next nit was the Griffoni scene, which didn't work so well with my group at all. The idea of the scene is fantastic; the wands with all that pyrotechnics going off in the...

For this next part I'm going to nit pick a few things in the module, but before I do I want to say in the big picture these things are minor. This module has so far been one of the best put together modules I've ever run, and the party is having tons of fun going through it. So overall the...

9/8 Session This session starts with Lacy & Carlie impersonating brigands from the Cloudwood (even though they don't know that) in Waryeye's shop with the rest of the party (Ford, Savanna, Cyrus) bursting in as “the law” with a search warrant to search for contraband. Dansica plays along...

8//26 Session The session starts with the party standing outside the hedge maze. They decide that the easiest way to get in and get Gillie to come out and play is to set the maze on fire (having a fire elementalist makes this particularly easy). Sure enough both work and this encounter ends...

Z2 swag Getting ready to start Z2 this weekend, thought other GM's might like a copy of my swag file for the module. This has all of the props mentioned in the module but not provided, along with sanitized info packets on all of the major NPC's the party will encounter.

Ummm, how does any L30 have a 31 AC? 10 + 15 for 1/2 level + 6 enhancement +8 or so for stat is 39, I'd expect that to be the absolute minimum. FWIW the lows and highs for AC in my L30 party were: Barbarian AC 45 10 15 - 1/2 level 6 - enhancement 3 - barbarian agility 1 - armor spec...

One thing to be aware of is that in epic play the gaps between roles become much, much larger. In my game my epic strikers could do ~100 HP damage per round (at least until the reds ran out), the sorcerer could do ~70 per round per target to multiple targets. The leader/defender hybrid on the...

I would not skip #11 , it was the best of the back end modules (which IMO are not as good as the earlier modules). #12 is an insane grind fest, and by the time we got here my group (and myself) were more interested in Zeitgeist than the long grind it seems the author intended #12 to be. My...

I talk about them a bit in my campaign thread, but they are based on the concepts of the GUMSHOE system. I've broken skills into two groups, active skills and investigation skills. Some skills have moved and some have been split. For example perception is now the active part of perception...

#1 . Your party will have less actions and they are on a round counting clock so I'd drop the number of successes required in the challenge or give them more rounds unless you are using some sort of wacky house rules for skill challenges (like I am). #2 . I print all the maps on posterized...

8/12 Session Finally had another session today after a 3 week layoff. Not much in the way of plot advancement today as the “defend the gate mechanism” scene took most of the session. Because my party is classic old school kick-the-door-down-and-kill-the-bad-guys types, I opted to run this...

I would think it would be fairly obvious that you cannot call in favors from factions that hate you. :) I'm tracking prestige as a negative value for factions that dislike the PC's. If the encounters start getting a bit too easy (they always do with my group) then I'll use the negative...

Sorcerer damage (striker damage in general if they are tuned) can get up there. In this case: Elemental Bolt 1d12 + CHA (4) + CON (3) Fire elementalist: +1d6 (to bolt only) Superior (Incendiary) dagger: +2 Elemental Escalation (Elementalist damage add): +1d10 So 1d12 + 1d10 + 1d6 + 9 = 24.5...

So today the campaign proper starts as the party gets into The Island at the Axis of the World. The campaign starts with the party in Delf's office, receiving the news that they are going to be in charge of security for the gathering at the launch of the RNS Coaltongue. They receive a dossier...

Plot thread wise, the party accomplished all of the module (and personal) goals. The last 3 modules were done in-order and they successfully accomplished each of them. Every member of the party worshipped the Raven Queen, so the party had a very strong religious theme and ties to the Raven...

My party finally finished WotBS, so we have started in on our heavily rules modified 4e Zeitgeist game. The party is as follows: Savannah Lottie, Tiefling Warlord (actually using fire genasi rules but tiefling was a much more friendly reskin for the world) Cyrus Parnell, Human Sentinel...
