    ZEITGEIST [ZEITGEIST] The Continuing Adventures of Korrigan & Co.

    I find myself wishing there was fan art of these characters: I have a specific idea of what Gupta looks like, though I can't quite describe it, beyond sort of a vague description of Indian/Anglo mixed heritage person of rather slight build. Leon, to me, is literally just the Criminal...

    That you know of. ;) :slow clap:

    5E Character Backgrounds and the Overall Plot

    Heh, I did get around to re-reading the campaign guide and realized I had indeed forgotten that the character themes/bonus feats were in addition to, rather than instead of, the normal backgrounds. So... that's a thing to remember when reading my previous post, I guess.

    Bonds of Forced Faith: Prologue or Diaspora? (and other questions)

    Some potential complications with that placement: Not sure if you want to tip the hand on the existence of Amielle Latimer this early. I can't tell if seeing her here would lessen or strengthen the impact of her Heel-Face Turn later in the story. The oblique references to Roland's mysterious...

    5E Character Backgrounds and the Overall Plot

    Sort of torn here: on the one hand, I agree with Tormyr broadly that Background Features are designed to help with narrative and downtime elements (eg Acolyte or Folk Hero mean you never have to worry about lifestyle expenses; Sage and Criminal give you free access to plot hooks). On the other...

    Bonds of Forced Faith: Prologue or Diaspora? (and other questions)

    Given that it's a very, very loose suggestion, and the game is balanced on the assumption that you aren't getting bonuses from magic items*, I always thought it worked better for a setup like "Your party is a unit of officers in the Steampunk FBI/Interpol." They get their paycheck (which covers...

    Hewanharimau and the Sacrament

    Myabe I'm missing it, but I can't find where it says Hewanharimau is supposed to have died. Best I can read, he was turned into a Rakshasa by the other deities and run out of... whatever the Seedism equivalent of Asgard/Mount Olympus/etc is. But when your back is against the wall and the...

    Indeed! I actually assumed there was something in Xambria's story arc that I'd glossed over or forgotten. Is Livia getting promoted to PC?

    ZEITGEIST ZEITGEIST 5E

    OK, so my basic idea was for a lot later in the game, but how to model the Big Change in Death, Dying, and Healing: The simplest version is Rolling 9 or lower on a death save no longer adds failures When a character stabilizes by any means, they regain 1 hit point Thus, beating on a fallen...

    ZEITGEIST ZEITGEIST 5E

    By the way RangerWickett , if one of us as a spitball idea for something, are there legal concerns about sharing it here? Because I know that can be a thing with, say, fanfiction. But on the other hand this idea is burning a hole in... what's the mind's equivalent of a pocket?

    You say all this like "failure to plan exit strategy" is the exception rather than the rule. Well, there are adventurers involved.

    ZEITGEIST [ZEITGEIST] The Continuing Adventures of Korrigan & Co.

    I think I'd forgotten about those two because I got the erroneous impression they'd gotten retconned away by the whole Jenny Greenteeth timey-wimey wibbly-wobbly-ness. I wonder where they'll run into Malthusius/Uriel/Wheover 1.0? Glad someone else out there enjoys the character creation...

    ZEITGEIST [ZEITGEIST] The Continuing Adventures of Korrigan & Co.

    By the way, since you brought him up, what was the deal with Malthusius? I seem to recall (and like the time to dig through the archives to confirm) that he got himself killed after he beat Roland's Bluff with his +Yes to Sense Motive. And they were eventually able to find his new incarnation...

    And he's still alive. If you hadn't said otherwise with your aside, I would've assumed that Gupta was specifically not gestalting with Oscan (because blurring your psyche with even a well-behaved sociopath has got to be unnerving to say the least), and just trying, on her own, to answer "What...

    No one robs like Oscan! Or stabs snobs like Oscan! No lies, cheats, or commits fraud like Oscan! :p

    ZEITGEIST [ZEITGEIST] The Continuing Adventures of Korrigan & Co.

    Huh. I would've expected, bare minimum, Korrigan and Matunaaga to express some in character reservations, even if the players behind them are willing to just run with this particular plot twist. Heck, I'm not sure that, if I ever got this far in DMing Zeitgeist, I'd actually be wholly...
