I had to significantly shorten adventure 7, basically cutting straight through to the convocation. Leone was also killed in Cauldron-born in my campaign (and then resurrected as a thrall to Voice of Rot, but that's another story), so I fully replaced him with Ottavia Sacredote (new PC), which...

Iratha Keth culture of music and cheerful undead reminds me of Día de Muertos and Brook "Soul King" from One Piece manga/anime, but I'm not sure if that's deliberate or just a common trope.

"Admiral of the High Seas" is not officially canonical in ZG world. Most reasonable in-game explanation is likely that Commander Jameson and his sailors are keeping the abilities of their ship a secret from higher-ranking military. It's much more creditable to Jameson if his battle prowess and...

Red veil in adventure 2, Lt. Dale "Coffee and cherry pie" technique - Twin Peaks (apparently, I still haven't watched it) Primo - Ulthros from FFVI (see recent thread http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?653513-Who-s-That-Crime-Lord-(Spoilers)) There was a separate thread about all the...

The one ritual that is seeing most usage for me this way is Phantom Steed. Only level 6, 70 gp per cast, with decent Arcana check summons 8 shadowy "horse-like creatures" with speed 20 (so 200 feet per round with double move), who ignore difficult terrain and can run on water (and also would fly...

In standalone adventure 3 for Pathfinder I found the following: The cracked cauldron is a cauldron of brewing (see Pathfinder Role-Playing Game Advanced Player’s Guide for more information).

I don't have all the files with me right now, but in 4e it allows to "prime" any ritual: you spend all components, store it in the cauldron and then can cast it as a standard action at any time. From my experience it is incredibly strong, possibly game-breaking, as many rituals allow to bypass...

I suppose this can be a plot of Octodad in ZG setting. It's very difficult to pass as a criminal boss when you're actually an octopus...

It was my understanding that Borne is specifically partially powered by witch oil and not by usual golem means to be able to operate in the apex of the ritual, where all magic is going haywire, but a sturdly built machine will continue to function. Also I think Borne only properly enters the...

Encounter math was revamped in Monster Manual 3 (http://blogofholding.com/?p=512) and I can swear Ryan mentioned somewhere in these forums that they updated monster design starting from around adventure 3. The noted examples actually have even lower HPs that MM3 suggests, but honestly I don't...

Seal of approvement by Eschatologists United here The only problem I can think of is that contables absolutely have to see that dwarf terrorist walking away from the explosion like cool guys always do. And if they're busy dodging the train themselves, well, there are different priorities at the...

Stanfield also has the advantage of his race. He can sacrifice himself "for the city" and come back a month later.

The price of mistake is pretty high, but the checks are only Easy to Moderate DC (better not spell it to players though). With half-decent player builds they are likely to autosuccess all of them even on bad roll, especially with conditional modifiers (Technologist, Arcana). Remember that...

p.404 of compilation Act I, it's in adventure 5: How does one end up working in the Bleak Gate for a mysterious conspiracy? Most of the people here are patriotic soldiers and engineers, recruited with the promise of a chance to serve their country. In the aftermath of the adventure, the party...

Kobolds are Beran spies, led by El Extrano, they act a lot in later adventures. I gave them passive racial ability "hiding in plain sight", hence a Beran proverb that kobolds don't exist. Orcs and goblins are similarly in Ber, Warforged are not mentioned, but tie in nicely with Pemberton...

Checking Volo's guide... I'd say the main problem is not making RHC into a zoo of exotic races (and that's closing eyes on abnormally high concentration of eladrin women in first adventures...) instead of, you know, kinda serious FBI-like structure. Aasimar - see Lynia in Vault of Herecies...

My player partially implemented Monument of war paragon path for himself, but I am too lazy to do this properly :( https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3W6zx8r8oxPZWowcGNFYmFWdzQ EDIT: here's a link to PartHelper, a little program for viewing/modifying CBloader parts in case you want to continue...

1. No comment but great find. 2. Lantern needs a material infused with the energy of corresponding plane to function. Either kind of witchoil should function. 3. Have you read adventure 7? Ob are mining meteorites from glacier at Knutpara at north Drakr 4. Inactive lantern is just a piece of...

Found this in the player's guide, description of Ber in whole: Beran cities tend toward stout, vertical buildings with prominent rooftop perches. Dragons no longer alight these roofs, but they have become part of Ber’s romantic conception of its own identity. Many festivals are celebrated on...

A little something which I can't resist posting: Avilona connection breakdown is somthing which I consider a tiny gem of the campaign. It's never clearly stated, I believe, but in my head-canon it's not that Casvarina "broke something". It's because three thing happened at the same time...
