On the flip side of first aid being too fast, so is dying. If my heart stops, and you cast cure light wounds on me in the next two or three minutes, I should be able to be stable and alive without any brain damage. Bleeding to death with a couple failed death saves is too fast. Like, losing...

That fey titan family portrait is epic.

I think I must have been watching a friend play Dynasty Warriors when I worked on this adventure. I know the rules of D&D don't really work smoothly with 4 PCs versus 400 enemies, but naughty word it, you're high level. I want some epic carnage, so I say to you, well-done for making it work.

I'd say that they're probably already skimming some of the money from the tolls, so no, a bribe wouldn't work. But if the party is successfully intimidating, maybe they grumble and let the party get its way. Otherwise, after a brief fight makes the guards realize they can't easily boss the party...

The dragon with a mask made of lich inquisitors needed more oomph? I always thought I was being too mean with that one.

Hellcat spooked by wizard's cucumber.

Traveling brothel versus cursed caravan.

Oh, I love it! A new member of the Unseen Court. Oh, and the crown matches Aodhan's! Also good to have a powerful druid in the mix.

Well, the space opera isn't really planned at all. I started work on Adventures in ZEITGEIST in November 2019, but then in the summer of 2020 Russ decided to gather a diverse stable of writers to create Level Up, and that idea got a lot more interest than ZEITGEIST ever did. So we finished...

The short version is that you probably don't need to change anything in Death of the Author, other than a mention of apotropaic jade (which was a superstition before, but now actually has a mechanical effect to hurt malice beasts due to Amrou). To be thorough, though, Adventures in ZEITGEIST...

What was the planar arrangement your group settled on? It was necessary to pick one to be the default for ZEITGEIST going forward, and I tried to select ones that were popular among groups that had reported finishing the campaign. But if yours is different, and you do plan to run another...

In an odd coincidence, someone was posting on the EN World Discord channel about having just finished the campaign too. So that's two groups in the same week, 9 years after the adventures were published. Any other art you might share? And, what's the plan for the group? Dassi, are you taking a...

What game system did you run? 4e/5e/PF? Care to give me a quick rundown of the PCs?

If I need a proper world-building answer, the Clergy is globe-spanning, and so he probably had Risuri ancestors, which is why he had a Risuri name. But he operated with the nom de guerre Nicodemus because it sounded more Crisillyiri. The real answer is meta, though. My own father - William...

In my game, one of my friends is playing a Tabaxi (cat person). He's got a whole suite of Tabaxi NPCs in his backstory with names like something out of the Thundercats. (He's a swindler named Chee-tor. There's a drunken albino lion-man named Whiteclaw. A hairless Tabaxi named Sphynxo. Etc.) So...

Well now you have to share a thousand details. Start with the most important one: Rock Rackus - villain, or menace?

Not mechanically the same, but in the same vein of 'I want fighters to do more stuff,' maybe there should just be a robust list of nifty things you can do with an action, but which a fighter can do as bonus action (like how rogues can dash/disengage/hide). Maybe fighters can Dash, Grab, or...

Plot Threads and NPCs (much rambling, incomplete, mostly for my own edification) Riverfolk A public beef between Beshel and Chebas, hoping to get the river goddess more support. Bard for Beshel. More established. Bard for Chebas. Former river pirate. Bard for Lusar, a warrior god. They...

Plot ideas by temple: Beshel, goddess of the sea I kinda wanna make this the Drake in a diss battle, and Chebas can be Kendrick. You've got sea versus river, distant water versus local, a bunch of lawmakers doing human sacrifices versus old school farmers tilling their own land, monster...
