During and after adventure 3, it seems there are a few things going on...Some people say the best thing to do is go look for the lantern in Korskull, others say you have to go to the Monastery to investigate Pilus (one of my players is especially intrigued by this, as they are a monk of the East...

I think that's a good way of showing it. Lip service but a failure to actually change the structure of society when the time comes.

So, if I like the idea of fighting a hivemind but don't love the idea of fighting the concept of fervent communism, any recommendations for how to adapt this encounter?

Isn't he part of the conspiracy, though?

I love this take!

Slavoj Zizek voice: “Yes but you see this in and of itself is ideology” totally agree that it is reasonable to conclude that thoughtless devotion to an idea can cause great harm, but I guess I would just like to turn away a bit from that sort of narrative, which I think we get a lot of in very...

I noticed that part, but I guess my fear was that it was going to make it like Bioshock: Infinite, a la, "aren't both sides bad?" Is the communist hivemind a "bad guy?" That's great, thanks--and I notice you recommend the same in Zeitvice! Sorta. I think the ethos itself is "corrupt" enough...

To start off, let's not argue politics. Regardless of whether you think it's great or evil or whatever, take it for granted here that I want my version of the AP to have Nicodemus represent not just the idea of hegemonic thought/lack of free will, but more of an explicit liberal ethos (e.g., we...

OK...Thank you...I think I'm getting closer.... In the before-time, did the concept of "solar systems" exist, or was everything just a sort of formless plane? Why does a planet that prevents portal invasion require the creation of a whole new solar system? In other words, why didn't they...

So, I've read the campaign guide a few times and...I just don't get what the Axis Seal is, what its intent was, and how it "works." Can someone help a bit?

Of course, yeah. While I value that sort of diversity among humans in the real world, I was speaking strictly in the D&D sense. :) I know my players like worlds that are a little surreal and magical, and often times a really diverse composition can sorta serve as a proxy for that. Here’s the...

I think the main things that are bothering me a bit are the genetic homogeneity of the cultures (particularly that humans are dominant--I really wanted to have a more diverse world) and the names of the characters and places. I suppose changing the landscape a bit could be helpful. Do you see...

@arkwright Are there any plans to continue with this doc (not that there isn't already PLENTY here)?

Yikes! I definitely understand that approach but...It's a lot of work!

Thanks. Very glad to be freed up in this way. Hopefully the players are sophisticated enough to conceive of nations that are defined by something other than just a common genetic ancestry...

Awesome! Super helpful! I thought that at least Danor would need to have a bunch of Tieflings...

Awesome. Looking at the overview, how important is it that "humans dominate three of the six great nations?"

@RangerWickett Awesome! Not developed at all yet, other than broad strokes. But I have some ideas. I suppose using this page will give me the bare minimum that I must include? Overview — ADVENTURES IN ZEITGEIST Is there anything in here that is not necessary? Re geography, I notice these...

Hey folks, I'd like to run Zeitgeist but in more of a homebrew setting--not too much of a departure thematically, but a little more emphasis on the sorta industrial revolution stuff and maybe a bit more of a "weird/absurd" feel to the different cultures. What's the best way I knew which things I...
