Minor things of note: -El Extrano may or may not know that king Boyle granted asylum to some dragons in Risur, but public revelation that the second man in Risur is freaking dragon is bound to change relationships between Risur and other countries; -Bourne is specifically warded against most...

We're drifting a bit offtopic, but I'm geniunely curious whether this problem exists only within my mind. For the reference, in Zeitgeist PCs are provided with government-funded "stipend", which they can use to requisition magic items (they're supposed to hand in all the loot they obtain during...

Once again, it's more about my personal view on 4e economics in general. I don't particularly like the image of "X-mas tree" PCs, with a magic item in every possible slot, plus a healthy share of one-use trinkets to spare, by level 10 or so, and that's what happened so far in my game. And you'd...

My 50 cents: promise of playing Zeitgeist was enough to bring back my gaming group after 18 months of hiatus. In total, we've been playing it for the last 3 years, I think, and managed to conquer the third of the whole AP (we're kinda slow, that's not the problem of the campaign :) ). Fair...

(You should probably specify that you're talking about 4e in the topic/badge of the thread) I agree with your interpretation. If the additional 1d10 is non-cumulative, as your friend suggests, the power would simply read "Make an attack as above, but with 6d10+constitution modifier damage"

Talking about complex mysteries... I know you didn't mean it, but this sounds unexpectedly sarcastic after my session. The party finally started to wonder whether they are actually the good guys after murdering poor captain Thrag Vidalia and then realizing he was mind-controlled "by...

In lieu of my own thread (which I should probably make after all), I'd like to use this one to share my joy of restarting my Zeitgeist campaign, year-and-a-half in hiatus. We have our old party back, new player and new co-DM, eager to bring some new spark into sixth adventure where we left our...

I mostly agree with what efreund said. One more point of consideration: rituals are stupidly expensive in 4e. By partaking in those, PC will soon severely hinder her expected wealth per level if you increase the ritual level to 24. If you want to limit the usage of rituals, consider including...

I'm pretty sure they belong to Glaucia, it's literally her broken chains. Version of Mr. Lee from "Bonds of forced faith" has a contingency ritual, which would "teleport his body to a hidden lair, where his minions would revive him" in case of mortal body injury, whatever you make of it. I...

Actually, neither McBannin, nor Stanfield IMHO should have geas placed on them. McBannin is too low in Ob hierarchy and never visited complex-under-the-Hill. Stanfield is said to be proficient in shielding his mind from intrusions (even if he's never said to be a psion, his "manifestations" are...

I can't believe noone so far mentioned that RHC holds confiscated exoskeleton armor, which is pretty handy in moving heavy objects.

Continuing the theme, would you mind sharing a single converted character? Just to see what is Cypher's analogue to early-paragon tier character in your opinion. Particulary relevant to me, because my own campaign stopped at exactly the same moment (and I'll probably show this character...

If I may hijack this thread for a specific question... My own campaing is in ongoing two-year break, partly due to the same problem of 4e being quite slow, especially in complex battle encounters. I glanced through Cypher System and I'm liking what I see, but how do you enforce the limit on a...

IMHO Lya's attitude should mirror your own point of view on this challenge. If you're bored with it, she should be as well. She will feign some activity, her subordinates will sabotage PCs, but she'll be planning from the beginning to capture Oddcog at his presentation to the party (i.e. with...

In my headcanon, "Lanjyr" was the original name of the continent before you-know-what happened, giving birth to Yerasol archipelago. This places Risur and Ber on Southern Lanjyr and Crisillyir with Drakr at Northern Lanjyr. Elfaivar is located on separate continent, perhaps joined with the land...

I really hope that this will help with Zeitgeitst publicity. For worse or for good, WotC abandoned 4e to die, and not having this AP in the latest edition hurts it a lot.

She is not mentioned anywhere else for the adventure. Thinking logically, she's likely to hide somewhere in the northern Lanjyr; Danor may be a bad place for former RHC Inspector, but at least you're unlikely to be found by magic in the dead zone that is. But she likely has an hour of head start...

BTW, just to completely derail this topic: anyone has some canon or fanon reason for Green Knight of Risur to be absent during Adventure 1 of Zeitgeist? That's pretty careless for the appointed king's bodyguard.

I've just received a notification about PF version being added, it's in my subscription. 4E compilation AFAIK is not ready yet.

Check adventure 7 and Beshela's story about the king, his sister, a kraken and a certain Danoral vessel. Basically, his most well-known war explot is credit to a mer fey power (of course, it may as well be just a fey boast). Also, if reading between the lines... Do you know that your king was...
