    ZEITGEIST what's on the other side of Ziggurats?

    There's 7-or-more planetary-linked Ziggurats scattered across the face of Lanjyr, and between the party and key NPCs like Rackus and Kasavarina, most of them get visited in the course of the game. What's on "the other side" of them? I'm enamored with Jiese, because it's the reason why...

    ZEITGEIST Unseen Court Political Ties

    I can confirm the Vekeshi initiation is not in any of the PF books. When I carelessly gave my PC his Vekeshi handout and then later he started telling me all of these things I didn't know about Srasma, I was definitely caught off guard.

    ZEITGEIST how did Gradiax fake his death? (spoilers!)

    Interesting that Boyle only got two reds to go along with the plan. Not even a lawful dragon! To that end: are/were there metallic dragons in this setting? I only see reference to chromatics: Red: Inacht, Gradiax, Terakalir, Furioso, Rilego, Doverspike White: Cheshimox Blue: Widoreva I guess...

    ZEITGEIST how did Gradiax fake his death? (spoilers!)

    So is the idea that Risur intended to protect and shelter Gradiax? I don't quite understand what Risur got out of that deal. With Inatch, there was a clear quid pro quo. And now Inatch is bound in servitude. I guess I assumed Gradiax had gone a more independent route into exile / fake death...

    ZEITGEIST how did Gradiax fake his death? (spoilers!)

    It is official history of both Ber and Risur that all the dragons are dead. Windrova of Seobriga was the last to fall. Ber has whole ministries dedicated to cataloging dragon-activity, and making sure that all dragon elements are accounted for. It's a paramount point of pride and of national...

    ZEITGEIST The Rites of Rulership, Monarch of the Masses

    There are all sorts of other non-traditional buffs that are handed out throughout Zeitgeist. Consider a PC who gets Xambria stuck in your head, or becomes a priest of Rot, etc. Really, Monarch of the Masses is just another flavorful magic item/buff in that vein. Be generous!

    ZEITGEIST Ashima-Shimtu and the Gyre (spoilers)

    Ancient Rome. With all of the trappings of senatorial power. Including public baths (to enjoy the pleasures of power), the Colosseum (to display your own power over the lives of others), and statues in her honor (to showcase the enduring eternality of your power). But it's all flimsy...

    ZEITGEIST Pemberbots?

    Are there statistics for the Pemberbots anywhere? In adv6, when Pemberton sells the Steam Crew, they are intended to be activated into his personal robocops as part of his coup. My PCs just reprogrammed one, and want to use it. Any stats to work with? Or should I just make something up...

    ZEITGEIST Deva vs. Witchoil?

    if Raise Dead can bypass Witch Oil, that takes a lot of bite out of it it also potentially ruins the MacBannon extraction scheme in the epilogue of adventure 2

    ZEITGEIST my Mojang plot line will pay off soon

    🤦‍♂️ I want to see the in-game stats for a diamond pickaxe. And I want it to be worth it.

    ZEITGEIST what can Jierre offer in adv6 ?

    I'm slowly moving through adv6: the Great Berian Adventure through the power of roll20. We ended last session as prisoner-guests of the Bruse, specifically right after Lya Jierre's somewhat awkward night-time visit. What is it that she can offer to the party? Yes, she wants them to...

    ZEITGEIST Any Zeitgeist 5e online tools?

    Ah!, the trick was to hold down ALT when first dragging out the map image. Because ZG maps have a lot of chrome around the outside of them, and said chrome is not exactly grid-sized, when roll20 did snap-to-grid on the initial sizing, it made the image-map squares no longer quite square. And...

    ZEITGEIST Any Zeitgeist 5e online tools?

    I'll also chip in that I'm interested in some online tooling for ZG. (Though I play PF.) I live in Washington State, and we kindof aren't allowed out of our homes anymore, so our ZG campaign has gone online for the next couple months. We're in adv6, and I'm having a devil of a time trying to...

    ZEITGEIST Adv5 about to go off the rails

    :sneaky: I never considered "hex eater" would be so literal. (bite attack to dispel) Man, the 4e blocks were so much more flavorful than the PF conversion. Yikes. Not just all the amazing fluff writeup, but the actual abilities too! I really feel like I'm running this in the wrong version...

    ZEITGEIST Adv5 about to go off the rails

    This sounds amazing, and I have to find a way to make it work! (I've read all those "Kasavarina as PC" threads and burned with jealousy.) But this is a problem for the future. A significant problem, but a deferred one. Right now, I need to figure out how to deal with Grappa, and get my PCs...

    ZEITGEIST Adv5 about to go off the rails

    I was operating under the assumption that all the "big players" were at the same (max) level: Harkover Lee King Aodhan Leon Quital Asrabey Varal Kasavarina Nicodemus?? Grandis Komanov Pemberton Which roughly comes out to CL 15 for everybody. (Though if you parse the exact stats (in PF), some...

    ZEITGEIST Adv5 about to go off the rails

    We did the thing! They quickly flew Grappa to safety (argh!) and went about taunting Borne. He stumbled, and slid down the hill, wrecking all manner of mountainside in the process. I wasn't entirely sure where MacBannon's Manor / Captain Dale's Base was located, but I decided that in the...

    ZEITGEIST Adv5 about to go off the rails

    So, last week, we had the throwdown inside the heart of the Bleak Gate facility. Party went in with Asrabey and Grappa, and used the vents to go through the VIP suites (and thus collect Oddcog's toys, and Kasavarina herself) before going into the main fight. The gunsmith (theme PrC using PF...

    ZEITGEIST Jiesse, City of Brass, Salamanders (Zeitgeist Spoilers)

    My major objection to the presentation of Jiesse in book 10 (and the "Sultan is dumb/inbred" stuff in this thread) is that the hallmark of Jiesse upon the setting is that it allows for high-tech (or to be slightly more accurate "allows precision technology to function.") I would rather Jiesse...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist DM question Chapter 1-2

    Danor shouldn't necessarily know about them. Nicholas Dupier had just found some, and hadn't necessarily reported it back yet. Nor should Danor know the PCs have them. They're not that powerful. I mean, they're useful, and my PCs kept them and have continued to make use of them. But they...
