    ZEITGEIST Seeking ZEITGEIST fanart

    I've shared an album of photos with you from back when i was running ZG around the table. Haven't had any interesting props since going online with the game as a result of players moving away. Some of those photos were here on the forums as well...

    Chapter 4 Opening Planning Montage Skill Challenge Question

    They're the same, which is good! My thought was that maybe the intention was to raise or lower the DCs by 2 points for both larger and smaller groups, so I thought I'd check since I started the planning montage last night with four players.

    Chapter 4 Opening Planning Montage Skill Challenge Question

    The sidebar says. . . Number in the Party. During the skill challenge, for each PC fewer than five, reduce the number of successes needed for partial victories and complete victories. For each PC above five, increase the number of successes need by two. Which i'm reading as: Reduce the number...

    Naval Combat: Weather Gage

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windward_and_leeward https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing_ship_tactics#Importance_of_the_weather_gage I think those two pages sum it up nicely. After studying those and then re-reading the rules on "Wind and the Weather Gage", it is clear and i will add them to...

    Naval Combat: Weather Gage

    I'm currently planning to leave the weather gage rules out, but only because i'm having trouble wrapping my head around it. This probably has a lot to do with the fact that i've only ever been on a sailboat once, and i was too young to really pay attention to anything mechanical. Here's what i...

    Naval Combat: Weather Gage

    I was preparing for my group's arrival at the dig site off the coast of Ber, and was trying to learn the quick-start rules for naval combat presented in the Extended Player's Guide. I found the part about "Wind and the Weather Gage" a bit confusing, and so decided to review the full rules...

    ZEITGEIST ATTENTION! ALL ZEITGEIST FANS!

    That seems an acceptable amount of collateral damage. Who are these orphans to stand in the way of progress?

    ZEITGEIST ATTENTION! ALL ZEITGEIST FANS!

    I certainly don't want you to lose your most popular writer. What i would like to see is a future D&D adventure published by Wizards in conjunction with EN Publishing. Thus far they've gone with known heavy-hitters that have all written for D&D in the past (Kobold Press, Sasquatch Game...

    ZEITGEIST ATTENTION! ALL ZEITGEIST FANS!

    5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons developers are asking the fan base who they'd like to see them collaborate with on future projects. See this link to Twitter: https://twitter.com/gregbilsland/status/591387395687231488 I would like to lead the charge and recommend that all of us nominate Ryan...

    Implanter (Ziggurat of Apet), Thoughtform Minion?

    Also, the "attach" attack is essentially a grab. What should the DC to escape be? I have read that you generally use a moderate difficulty DC based on the creature's level, but in a previous encounter the crawling spiker used an easy difficulty for it's escape DC. I suppose that matters of...

    Implanter (Ziggurat of Apet), Thoughtform Minion?

    Just prepping the Ziggurat of Apet for play. Should the implanters be thoughtform minions? Their flavor text says, "The ovipositor materializes solidly as it tries to burrow into your ear." Would having to hit these minions twice effect the overall difficulty of this (seemingly nasty) combat...

    Maps and terrain for encounters

    I also use PosteRazor to get my maps into a printable format. The maps on the official Zeitgeist site ( http://zeitgeistadventurepath.com/maps/ ) are quality enough that they turn out pretty nice. That said, i do not do this for every encounter - if it's easy enough to draw on the battle map...

    ZEITGEIST Brainstorming for ZEITGEIST 5th edition

    I was hoping that this brainstorming might be easier even sooner, as in when the DMG is released! 5E is supposed to be all about "modularity", so i'm assuming that tome will have lots of really good info on how to tweak the game to suit the needs of your group. (?)

    ZEITGEIST Brainstorming for ZEITGEIST 5th edition

    If you guys say "5th Edition D&D" one more time, i am going to call Mike Mearls and his Drow Ninja Lawyers, and you'll wish you hadn't! But seriously, i think a thread about converting Zeitgeist to 5E is a great idea and i'm certain there will be an audience for it!

    And Now a Quick Word from a Shattered Bronze Golem. . .

    I have no CLUE what this means. . .

    And Now a Quick Word from a Shattered Bronze Golem. . .

    One of the characters in my group is a psion. When the heavy, magic emanating skull of the bronze golem was examined (Digging for Lies), the psion immediately decided to target it with a Sending ritual to see if anybody was home. The adventure states that Grappa's consciousness has merged with...

    Often I do not understand the maps...

    On the map of the Subrail Station. . . I am assuming that the pillars in the pit around the tracks are the steel pillars that lead up to walkways (that perhaps have yet to be built)? And that the x-shaped pillars outside the pit are supporting the tarp that covers the entire site? Lastly, the...

    Possible cover designs for Adventure 8 - Diaspora; feedback requested

    I was also thinking that it would be cool if each tier of play had a little different look, but wasn't sure if it was already too late for that or not.
