Don't want to derail too much, but... wait, what? So many aspects of ancient era Europe survive to this very day. The idea of democracy became popular in ancient Greece. Most of our law procedures stem from the Roman law system to the point where law students are required to take courses in...

Thanks a lot! Honestly, I'm glad that there are people out there who enjoy reading my recaps despite the fact that my english is far from perfect and the german originals can be a sloppy mess. I'm often tempted to peek into other groups' session recaps, but I fear there might be spoilers even...

Disclaimer: This is from a player's perspective in adventure 6, so I do not know about the obscurer aspects of ZEITGEIST lore. First, the good news: Regarding classes, Anything goes. Well, almost. Second, some classes are more common in regions other than Risur, so you may want to consider...

Friends of the Family and a royal Ninja After leaving Torfield palace, we visit all the necessary offices to get more information about the imprisoned risuri spies, including the intel ops. We are told that there are currently three spies and one businessman who are being held in Alais Primos...

Fencing with words In the evening, Auryn has invited a good bunch of her closest friends to her first real birthday party in Flint. The guests are a bit surprised when she declares that this party will at least be partially a traditional elfaivaran happening. She explains that in her culture...

1) and 2) sound actually realistic and I think I'd give both systems a try. A MOBA a la Heroes wouldn't be that far off since you can use your ideas from 1) - using iconic characters from differnt settings - to form an unlikely team and fight against a second team. I cannot see anything...

I always had the impression that Ostalin would have benefitted from an expansion on the Khagan succession issues and felt as if that had been part of the plan all along. (It might have been scrapped because it would have felt a bit repetitive after the Dassen adventure) Anyways, the idea sounds...

Of Speeches, Raids and Subtenants The next morning, the local news are full of reports about our successful strike against the Kell guild. We then give each our speeches to the public before answering questions. Delft starts the whole event by greeting the whole audience. He then starts with...

note that sneak attack does precision damage. So I guess there will be creatures with resistance or immunity to this type of damage. And we'll likely see precision damage return as a damage type for other classes as well.

A fashinoable parley Session 26 Before we go to the Brave Club, we discuss our further actions against the Guild. We finish our speeches for the upcoming press conference and agree to let the public focus on Delft as he's head of the RHC and the executive trio of Mr. Carlyle, Ms. Auryn and Mr...

The first strike As the night falls on Flint, we decide to break into the office of Augst in North Shore to search for clues on his cases, work and whereabouts. Unfortunately, it seems like he (or someone else) cleaned the office properly after the lawyer went underground. We do find another...

They'll continue, I promise :) I've had some music courses in school, but I never moved past the basics either and dropped music for arts once our teacher started handing us scores we never heard before (it was - haha - Mozart's requiem) and asked us about the feelings the score tries to evoke...

A night at the opera As we hope to find the two Kell guildies who tried to abduct Morena to maybe get more info about the guild from them, we travel to the police station in the Nettles and ask for their whereabouts. We are told that the two men were brought to the prison ships after being...

Happens quite often. I've had a young noblewoman falling for a same-age paladin who both didn't know jack about relationships or love or intimacy. She then ran away from an arranged marriage, got disinherited and started training as a paladin as well. Right now, the two PCs I DM for are both in...

I fudge as a DM whenever I get too lucky or unlucky, but only if it really doesn't fit my statistic or would risk killing my players (i.e. 3 confirmed nat 20s in a row). I also "fudge" at NPC gen in PF as I let them have the stats I want them to. If my players have high stats, then I'd like to...

Gale's tale Session 25 We start our mission against the Kell Guild by requesting a capable partner from the Flinter police stations. As we are handed a list of candidates, we find one familiar name and decide to hire Miggs Maloney for the job. Regarding the 50 officers we'd like to use as...

So, your group also completely missed the Living Blade? Ouch. One of my players is still using it at level 20 (though I upgraded it a bit with Weapons of Legacy ideas). For Tiljann's quest: This is a sidequesi in the 4e version of Shelter from the Storm (adventure #3). I found this 4e adventure...

Okay, this is awesome. Love it! So... Gale and a Tiefling agent in a romance? That's something Auryn would totally read about. And I can even see "our" Gale being more interested in girls than in boys after all she's been through in her life. And if we ever finish this campaign, I'll have to...

Nah, it isn't "merely one decade". If you take a deeper look into the country's legal system, constitution and political clime, then this decade was a period that changed everything. Only the very far right are trying to reduce it to "merely a decade". "Never forget, never again" is basically a...

Depends. As a DM, I play NPC like regular people with regular interests. This includes romance, especially if my PCs like to court and flirt. If they do get hooked up, I play the relationship but fade to black once the sexy stuff starts (other than, like, saying "oh and you noticed he/she really...
