    ZEITGEIST Q's About Running the Zeitgeist AP [my players keep out!]

    I do not recall adding any NPCs named Wickett. If you want an Ewok analogue, he could be some sort of fey like a harengon, or a goblin, or just a very hairy dwarf.

    ZEITGEIST Aartvb's Zeitgeist

    I don't recall what my advice was in the adventure on getting the whole party to come, but yeah, hopefully the players are okay with you nudging them to situations that they'll enjoy, as long as you aren't trying to thwart specific intentions. They probably thought, "Splitting up is a good way...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    This phrasing reminds me of my first RPG setting: One thing I'd want to be careful of in a hopeful Dark Sun is to not shy away from how bad things are. Have hope despite the terrible situation. The vibe needs to be right. I feel like an adventure wheelchair isn't something that's believable in...

    WotBS Aartvb's Burning Sky

    It's always the case with old work, but I look back now seventeen years after publishing this adventure and wish I'd had a bit more meat to the politics of Dassen.

    ZEITGEIST Aartvb's Zeitgeist

    Thanks for all the regular write-ups. It's good to hear some of the early churn in party composition has ended and things have settled.

    ZEITGEIST Why the hurry?

    At the risk of being pessimistic, plenty of people procrastinate until the deadline is looming, even kings. Or it'd be some combination of needing to get all the local politicians who could cause a ruckus to get on board instead of, y'know, complaining that pulling cops off the streets to chase...

    Tabletop creators leave X for Bluesky in droves

    Why is it that famous dudes who are accused of sexual assault never respond by, like, admitting they did it, apologizing, and willingly turning themselves over to the authorities, pleading guilty, and serving their time? Maybe they could even use the attention on their sh**ty behavior as an...

    Tabletop creators leave X for Bluesky in droves

    I wouldn't say always, but yeah, lately it's been going down the Xitter.

    WotBS Aartvb's Burning Sky

    Man, starting a campaign with, "You just witnessed the murder of thousands of people. Now go stop the people responsible"? That's pretty intense. Excellent work. I hope the game is healthy from here on out.

    Blog (A5E) Those Fickle Fey Dragons Bring Whimsy To Your Game

    There are a ton of Lewis Carroll references, but only one Cowboy Bebop reference. Let me know if you spot it.

    Fiction Writer's Thread

    I have finished my novel's first draft, and I'm doing revisions while reading a bunch of recent fantasy, looking for good 'comps' to make when I write a query to agents. Because I do rather want to try to get published traditionally. My wife's best friend self-publishes romance novels with a...

    The Fantastic Four's D23 Brazil Footage Breakdown

    Isn't . . . Didn't they already make that movie with Chris Evans as Johnny Storm? I mean, maybe they'll do a good job, but I couldn't care less about Galactus. Such a dumb threat.

    ZEITGEIST Forward-thinking the Forward Symposium

    Because he's an ash-hole.

    ZEITGEIST [ZEITGEIST] The Continuing Adventures of Korrigan & Co.

    I loved his character, including the ballsy effort to destroy the world because (if I'm remembering correctly) he had decided nihilism was a valid philosophy after all, when the very nature of reality would otherwise be proscribed by someone he disagreed with. How are you doing? Are you all...

    ZEITGEIST Aartvb's Zeitgeist

    Galarin, man. I don't think I've seen any PC in any ZEITGEIST campaign try to discredit Nevard. Harsh.

    I love the vibes of this. Bucky is kicking butt. I'm enthused.

    ZEITGEIST Forward-thinking the Forward Symposium

    I don't know how I missed this thread originally. Your second spoiler block has some wild stuff in it. So are you thinking the PCs, like, team up with some of Nic's folks to go do adventure 12? Or would it be a race of two competing groups? Because ultimately, Nic's thoroughly persuaded himself...

    ZEITGEIST Random ZEITGEIST idea, not even half-formed. Seeking opinions.

    I'm reading a book discussing how to go from understanding social injustices to actually enacting changes to achieve more social justice, and an idea sparked. An idea I'm pretty sure I can't actually do, but I'm momentarily enamored with it and want to share. Idea: A ZEITGEIST . . . I dunno...
