Would it be worth creating a separate loci for each district of Flint? Since each district has a more distinctive and straightforward character than the city overall, it may be easier to come up with a clear and compelling spirit-character.

I've thought about it; I believe I've done half of Book 7 in my working draft. It is tricky since the further you get into the AP, the more you slowly get into 'homebrew it' and 'varies based on your group's canon' territory. I might work on it some more, though I'd rather not promise specific...

Check through the forum and I believe you'll find a few folks working on a conversion project. You might want to reach out to them.

My party sided with Pemberton, it's a pretty decent option. After all, does Ber even know that Gradiax is Pemberton? As far as I recall, Pemberton does not out the PCs during the Schism, he just goes nuclear to try to wipe out the Ob. Plus it's not a fixture of the adventure, I wouldn't worry...

Found this quote from Book 5, Tinker is hiding amid the savage tribes of Ber, and has several monstrous defenders, but if the party finds him, the insane gnome has slipped free of his geas and can provide a trove of information about the Obscurati 'How he escaped the geas' obviously raises...

I appreciate that logic, though I would note that unlike in film, in D&D there is an absolute hunger for long adventures/APs. Go to any 'looking for player' forum and 80% of posts will have 'I want to play an AP'. Particularly with Pathfinder. I personally think some of those players are...

The Palace is on the border of the adulthood ceremony arena, so I would imagine that directly underneath would probably be either stairs or storage for ceremony events.

Might be worth checking out my Zeitvice.

I'm in complete agreement with Ranger. Come up with any list of desirable elements for a dramatic fight; everyone contributes, takes multiple rounds to resolve, varied tactics are used, terrain is a factor, etc etc. Chances are there will be a feature of PF/3.5's design that works against most...

1) My players enjoyed gaming it. Chiefly by exploiting the fact that while NPCs can go on only one operation per day PCs can go on any number of operations, they were able to wipe out Kell's operation in a single day. 2) My players didn't much enjoy these scenes, I think mostly because it...

I would strongly suggest keeping the 4e version of Zeit on hand, as the 4e versions of monsters are a lot more interesting. Should be useful for inspiration. Scroll down to '4e vs PF' here.

In my game I more or less left the requisition subsystem to my players, like Edna, and I believe Edna made a few changes to balance out favors. And we went with WBL-resets. I don't have too much to say on the topic; other than that Zeit somewhat loses interest in the prestige system as books go...

Glad it helped. 'The rules of being trapped for millenia underneath a portal are different for thoughtforms' is indeed a pretty good excuse, would have been good for the AP to have it. Plus Sijhen apparently didn't even experience the time passing, unlike the merfolk. I can see how 'not so easy...

Since your characters shy away from philosophical discussion, I would suggest focusing on two principles: Peoples' ideas are shaped by their own experiences People try to develop ideas that influence other people Principle 1 will help ground your NPCs' philosophies and give your players an...

One of my PCs wanted to research witchoil. I let them invent a way to use cocoa powder to 'soothe' spirits trapped in witchoil so that they weren't in constant existential agony. Useful for ethically storing witchoil.

The most crucial part is going to be coming up with a Lamia racial stereotype to add to the list alongside 'Kobolds don't exist.' Maybe 'Lamias are as dumb as breasts on a snake.'

Quite nice. When I was putting together my plane-tokens I found a site that created neat 2d cartoon-y images of planets based on inputted sky colour, continent size etc, was contemplating using that for them.

Maybe the flight plane of Baden implemented in such a way that it is less 'flight' and more 'peculiar gravity', while still technically being flight?

I think having Stanfield's ritual be special works, it is a reflection of the fact that the Ob regard Risur and the PCs to be their greatest threat. Side note, the book says that your PCs will expect that Stanfield's lighthouse is the main ritual site. They are not going to believe that...

I think one set of icons was used on Axis Island, and one set was used for all the Ziggurats. Of course you can rule whatever you like as a GM. Do look at Book 12 when the PCs visit the actual plane of Avilona. Also consider the possibility of letting the PCs 'repair' Avilona somehow. My advice...
