Schrödinger's Murder (Adv 9 spoilers) We're in the first Act of Adventure 9, wherein the constables are investigating a convoluted murder in The Dreaming, and they're having difficulty picking through all the layered levels of illusions and lies. At the moment, they've found evidence...

The solution is obvious - time to switch to 4e! :D

Are you just winging the 5E conversion?

We just finished Adventure 8, and the 4E character builder is getting harder to use and silverlight gets more and more antiquated. So I'm considering switching to 5E the moment that the Axis Seal opens in Adventure 9 - the stars fall, the planes realign, and everyone's magic works differently...

I figured as much. Thanks for the reply, though! What was the book? I'd like to see what ended up in it!

Hey, ya'll! I have a vague memory that a call went out for fan creations to feature in a Zeitgeist compilation, but I can't find the thread now. 1) Does anyone else have any idea what I'm talking about? 2) Did I miss the boat on this? I have some fun pictures I could submit.

If she escaped, I would definitely have her come back to haunt the PCs later. Players like closure! I'd probably replace one of the characters at the Obscurati Summit with her, possibly Amielle Latimer. Or, if I were feeling really brazen, I'd have her show up in Adventure 6 as one of Lya's...

I got the notification, too! Major props to RangerWickett for fixing that while on vacation, even if it wasn't exactly what I needed. :)

Sorry to ruin your vacation! If it matters, I'm a 4E subscriber, and it looks like the 4E version isn't on RPGnow at all, let alone in the subscription. :(

Wait, is the Act 2 hardcover out?!?! It's not showing up in my rpgnow subscription product link.

One of our PCs is a docker, and has the ability to grant saving throws by singing a line from a song about the team. So another player went ahead and wrote the lyrics... Sung to the tune of Gilligan's Island: Now sit right back, and I'll tell a taleof the constables in Flint: they'll seek you...

So my party just threw down with the Danorans during the Coup Ex Machina scene, and it was pretty astonishing. Ulrik and Inez went down really quick from the bomb. Merton and Rush stayed up through most of the fight but ended up getting dropped as they tried to run. Lya activated her gatecrasher...

I know this isn't what you asked, but since the Voice of Rot is a fey titan rather than a deity, I think it'd be more appropriate for VoT's patronage to manifest as a fey-pact warlock than as a cleric. Not only is a warlock the very definition of "I have a powerful fey patron who grants me...

I agree that the 10' maps are a little unwieldy, but I just transfer the maps over to a battlemat with wet erase markers, anyway, so scaling them up isn't usually a problem, unless they're really, really big. For us, having more in-character maps would be more useful - maps of all the various...

For the most part, I just find that they're less willing to be satisfied with simplistic depictions of morality and religion. In our game, for example: *There is no alignment. No gods are universally categorized as good, neutral, or evil, and the differences between chromatic and metallic...

Amusingly, five out of seven members of my Zeitgeist group are, in fact, Christian ministers: two episcopalians, one roman catholic, one congregationalist, and an evangelical.

Something else we'd make use of would be more in-character documents, such as a couple pages from the works of William Miller, some liturgical texts from the Church of Triegenes, etc.

Our version of Zeitgeist might be a little more straight-faced than most peoples, but my primary inspiration is The Wire, especially for the first act. I like how the show is centered on a city and the interactions of its various factions, all of whom are at least a little bit dirty, and none of...

We're currently in Adventure 6, and a handout-size version of the map of Ber on page 3 would help us A LOT. My PCs are teleporting all over the place trying to arrange a coup against the Bruse, and trying to visualize all the railroads, cities, and geographic territories is a lot to ask.
