It's dinner party time in DOTA tonight! This will be the most challenging section to adapt to the 501 AOV world, but hopefully it will go well!

I appreciate the suggestions. I'm hoping that the pace of Zeitgeist adventures for Roll20 will increase. My backup plan to fill the latest gap was running an adventure for the "B-team." If I had to, I might run a B-team adventure between each book in the adventure path. The campaign is so long...

(Jovan's player missed a couple of sessions, so missed out on the first part of the Ziggurat dungeon crawl; his character has failed several distant madness saves and hasn't quite been himself lately) Session 20 and 21 (6-10-21, 6-17-21): I was a bit out of it… the others said insane so I...

Session 19 (6-3-21): The next day Vic mentioned she’d had a visitor the previous night. It was the dwarf who’d been at the fair and accused Rackus of killing the bystander during the attack. He said he didn’t want to kill Rackus but someone was offering a lot of money to see it happen. He said...

Yike. Dead VIP would not be good at all! Maybe the dwarves of Drakr have invented bulletproof vests... I think that's how it works in movies -- the key character "dies," then once the fighting is over they sit up and pull the bullets out of the vest they'd secretly been wearing under their...

Thanks, Ryan. My plan was mostly as you suggested -- Budwati's story stays essentially the same but her mom is the leader of a band of generic elven terrorists/freedom-fighters who make guerrilla attacks on the colonies to try to drive foreigners from their ancestral lands. Since Ber hasn't been...

Between 4 and 5.

The new setting book came out, so I know that lots of Zeitgeist fans are ready to dig into the new era. For those still in the past (like me)... Our party has finished Crypta Hereticarum and Always on Time and are eagerly awaiting Cauldron Born to come out for Roll20. For those who haven't run...

Session 18 (5-27-21): (Rock’s record label :)) After returning to the RHC and locking both Gyldiel and Kaja up in adjoining cells, we retired for the evening and a nice long sleep. The next morning, we began by splitting up to cover more ground in our investigations. Sylvia and Vic first...

I haven't had time to read through much of it yet, but after reading parts of it and skimming others it is already clear that this is a must-buy for anyone interested in Zeitgeist or steampunk-flavored fantasy. I'm four chapters into the Gears of Revolution adventure path, and instantly see so...

Session 17 (5-20-21): Gyldiel was our nominated choice to go to the trinket stand and say the passphrase… he came out with the meet location so I’m sure it went smoothly with no hiccups… :| But, while he was in there, Sylvia and Vic noticed a boy trying to steal my coin purse from me. Sylvia...

Thanks all. This helps -- instead of all the one-hit minions as foes in a giant battle I'll think of them more as obstacles in a time challenge. Since wounds are healed (or converted to exhaustion) at the end anyway, this makes more sense anyway. Thanks for the help!!

Conclusion of our marathon weekend: Chapter 3: Illuminati… I mean, Obscurati? A few weeks later, Lady Saxby assigned us another crap “case.” We were to work security for the weapons expo which is a month long weapons fair here in the Central District. We met the head of security on the first...

Marathon session, cont. (other projects) We decided to take that time to help a lizardman we’d run into days before. He was a crazy shaman but, strangely, not only did Gyldiel want to help him… Vic wanted to as well… I’m not sure I’ll ever figure out why “by the book Vic” was so enamored with...

Marathon Session, cont. When we returned to RHC headquarters, Lady Saxby burst into Delft’s office while we were reporting. She was quite angry about Gyldiel taking it upon himself to make the Nettles announcement without first coming back to ask permission. Gyldiel tried to push back and Delft...

Once a year our adventuring group (which started in person many years ago, but now is scattered from Atlanta to Anchorage) gets together in person to play over a long weekend. This will be a long entry, even though it was written later so is a bit less detailed: Marathon (5-12-21 to 5-16-21)...

We are rolling along through Always on Time and I'm looking ahead to the Three Milestones encounter. It is such an atmospheric and dramatic moment, but I don't understand the tactical combat side of it. A wave of five reapers is not powerful enough to be even an irritation to characters of this...

Session 16 (5-6-21): We bandaged ourselves up back at headquarters, requisitioned a few new items, and made our way out to our cutter and the night’s activities. We found the wharf we were looking for and held our ship back quite some distance from it. I sent my familiar in high enough that it...

We are off to a good start on Always on Time. It was a little hard to get back into things after taking a three month break, but now I think we are starting to roll. This adventure is what first intrigued me with the entire adventure path, but as it got closer I've been increasingly nervous...

Mixed, but mostly.good. One player in particular really didn't like the feeling that there was no chance to "win." On the positive, they HATED Leone,.so are looking forward to a rematch some day. The drama of an NPC being killed right in front of them as a warning had an emotional impact, and...
