Well, from a design perspective, you're "supposed" to move on to the arson fight immediately. (My party did, FWIW.) Remember, "winning" the arson battle is completely optional to advancing the plot and investigation. Furthermore, the "win" condition isn't that the PCs kill both of the Hermanos...

My response is written assuming you are playing in Pathfinder. I recently ran this encounter in Pathfinder, and my party was level 3 at the time. 1) Am I supposed to have the monsters all attack at once? Yes. The monsters all notice the blood-ring and run around it for an extended period of...

I am also super excited for Zeitgeist-does-Spelljammer. I hope it's as much of a tour de force headtrip as it is in my head with a large helping of really exotic locations and setups. Regarding the image: I thought VoR had antlers? And when do we get our next spoiler/teaser infusion? :D Got...

Understood. I sat on responding to this for a few months, but I've decided that I want to help out. I understand the shoe-string nature of niche creative projects like this. And I am also blown away by the quality of the product. You've hinted at other fiscal concerns in the release thread...

Got myself into an interesting situation right at the end of Adventure 2: The Dying Skyseer. Looking for a satisfying way to end the adventure, and not miss out on too much of the awesome. They've completed basically everything but the Climax. They finished out Smuggler's Night, rescued the...

Fun times in the city of Flint. I'm not great at writing these up, but I figured I'd share, if only to give the forums a little heartbeat. :p Last night was our first foray into Zeitgeist in 2016. On the way down from Cauldron Hill, the Vekeshi suddenly remembered that he had a secret...

Huh. That's not in my book. I own the Act I compilation in Pathfinder; maybe it got cut during translation? I've read adv2 very carefully by this point, and I haven't seen that. The only thing similar I've run across is the segment in the Goodman prison, where one of the partners-in-crime...

Regarding the wand-smuggling-plot in Book 2: Nilasa was going to pay the Grinning Griffon 10,000 gp in cash, and a whole lot more in paper-money. On the night of the 4th, I'm assuming everything is already loaded up and ready to go, with the money onboard the Silvo. But my PCs as pushing hard...

My group completed adventure 1 (Axis Island) last week. We're skipping the main campaign this week because a key player is unavailable, so we'll be kicking off adventure 2 (Dying Skyseer) *next* week. However, the rest of us are still getting together tomorrow, for, um, something. I could...

If I wanted to seed some special writings of you-know-who into the Crypta Hereticarum, what would be appropriate to reveal to the players there? It seems weird to me that the greatest heretic the Clergy has never known wouldn't have something show up in there. I know the Crypt was abandoned...

Hi esteemed authors, Is there any update on the Kickstarter items Vagabond of the Mirror Moon or Case Files of the RHC? I recognize that they'll probably still in raw development, but if you could share a bit of what you got, like you did with Bonds of Forced Faith, that would be awesome. My...

Just a quick brainstorm: what about if it is a shard from Nem? (The plane of ruin that is only seen as a black dot in the night sky.) That way you can tie into the planar-theme which runs strongly through the campaign, without giving away any of the plot secrets (like Nicodemus would). The...

I'm a little confused about the events of the Great Malice. Or rather, the locations involved. In the Player's Guide, as well as the Vekeshi handout, it states clearly that Srasama was killed at the walls of Alais Primos. This event is described as a great catastrophe, so great that all who...

Arg!! During the initial infiltration the party managed to save Burton (the goblin rogue/surgeon from the primary infiltration team). Now they've got a level 5 NPC following them around. Noooooo....... They also made nice with Nicolas Dupiers (the mine foreman; main enemy at seacave), and...

Can someone help illuminate what's up with the blue sun occasionally seen on Axis Island? There's at least three planar fluctuations that are scripted to occur, and they all involve yellow frogs and the blue sun. It's clear Axis isn't randomly linking to lots of other places, but this place in...

Re #4: The kill team is sent to kill Saxby? I thought they were after the PCs. Also, Kell has the ability to call up the dark stalkers and give them orders? I thought the lines of authority flowed from Quital to Kell, not vice-versa. Aside on #2: Nat 20 always succeeds on saving throws, and...

If we're talking about in-universe, why do you need a special explanation? It's always been this way. Nobody knows any other paradigm. Why would demons be able to leave? Nothing has ever left. That's just the way things are. Now, what I wonder is, what is the Clergy's theology of the...

I'm not sure how Sijhen's escape at the climax of Adventure 3 is supposed to work. In the lead up to the gala, Hans will give the players the letter from Xambria that clearly spells out "I am possessed." This is the PCs' cue to load up on scrolls of Protection from Evil and make other back up...

Nope. That's where the entire Gidim plotline comes from. They got trapped on Apet and couldn't go home. As well as the Clergy's theology/policy of hoarding evil, rather than destroying it. It can't "go back to hell", so might as well lock it up somewhere else.

I have a PC who is very interested in the Vekeshi sideplot. So interested actually, I think I need to recalibrate with him, as he's more invested in that role and identity than he is in being a constable. So that wrinkle aside, I have some questions about how the Vekeshi do their thing. It...
