    ZEITGEIST Pcs allied with Pemberton, need suggestions

    Re:Terakalir. First of all, I really don't need a version of ZG where Inatch is somehow her mother. I believe someone here had a version of campaign where all NPCs were changed into cute anime girls... Second, as a fanon version, in my campaign I'm trying to weave a subplot about dragon lords...

    ZEITGEIST Adventure 3 - What did Caius keep in his journals?

    Writing from memory here, so you should search for this in full AP, but I think Caius was overseeing dig sites not only in Risur, but also in the Methia region (Nem ziggurat) and somewhere in Crissilyir (Jiese). Rock Rackus was part of one expedition, as well as Rush/Merton dynamic duo, so you...

    ZEITGEIST Wanna playtest the next ZEITGEIST adventure?

    One player fell ill and participated via Discord, and we only managed to open the final room of the basement the second session. I definitely failed as a DM this session, one-shot adventure is not supposed to last three days. Some points: Once again, I stress that this particular report can be...

    ZEITGEIST Question about the ending of adventure 6

    Tinker can be read as more than half-mad, and the capabilities of the Godmind Urn (and what exactly it is) are never stated in much details. It's possible that mental magic is less efficient against him. It's possible he forgot about his geas (and his mind is sufficiently different/mad now to...

    ZEITGEIST Wanna playtest the next ZEITGEIST adventure?

    I think it's a good compromise between mechanics and pure roleplay. Not sure about DC values, DC10 all around felt a bit too easy, but once again, I may have a poor grasp on 5e math. I'll wait until the end scenes to see how it goes. Sidebar on p.13 with verbal mannerisms helps, although I had...

    ZEITGEIST Wanna playtest the next ZEITGEIST adventure?

    We had slightly less time than I expected today (and only 3 players were able to participate this time), I was able to end on a dramatic scene of Pritchard's prophecy in ~6 hours. Full disclaimer: I do not particularly like 5e I do not have much experience running 5e games, although I'm...

    ZEITGEIST Wanna playtest the next ZEITGEIST adventure?

    You should also have my e-mail from back in November, when I proofread this adventure ;)

    ZEITGEIST Wanna playtest the next ZEITGEIST adventure?

    I finally visited the forums kinda late... After past week of rushed deadlines I feel too burnt out to plan for my ZG campaign this weekend. I wonder if I can run this for my players without spoiling too much stuff about Eclipse. Phrases "You know yourself what your country have done!" can work...

    ZEITGEIST Are high resolution maps available for VTTs?

    I've heard about this. From my totally unprofessional and uneducated in all things business standpoint, that's what management is supposed ... to manage. I'm not sure what could be done to salvage the project, but "running it into the ground" doesn't seem to be the best solution... Offtopic...

    ZEITGEIST Are high resolution maps available for VTTs?

    VTT was promised on the back of 4e Player's handbook >_< The fact that it was never finished still fuels my grudge with WotC and that was waaay before they dropped 4e support and nuked the forums...

    ZEITGEIST The Ragman

    Re:OTS I actually like the idea of foreshadowing Boone's possession. My only addition is that "cursed by the Voice of Rot" is actually very close to "demon-possessed". If you read adv.10-11 (in particular, When doom came to Drark) with slightly squinted eyes, our beloved one-eyed snake is a...

    ZEITGEIST The Ragman

    In my headcanon, Ragman's victims are Ob workers executed for any number of mishaps or, perhaps, "discharged with a bonus at the end of their working term". Their bodies are torn by shadow trolls, and individual body parts, passing under the bridges, sometimes emerge in the material plane of...

    ZEITGEIST Blades in the dark system in ZG world

    We've run a session 1 this afternoon... and I'm very, very impressed. Among 6 people present, I've read about 2/3rds of the rulesbook (stopping at setting-specific details), 2 more players have definitely read it at least partially and 3 more admitted that 300+ page book kinda intimidated them...

    ZEITGEIST Blades in the dark system in ZG world

    My group is trying some new RPG systems, and I'm pitching together a one-shot about Flint criminal underground in the aftermath of adv.5 mess in Blades in the Dark system. Overall level of technical advancement seems pretty close, and Flint fits almost perfectly as a city overrun by ghosts. I...

    ZEITGEIST [Spoilers] Warlocks and Fey Titans

    For adv.6: there are not one but two artifacts of great destruction in this adventure - skull of icy dragon (in possession of ghoul tribe) and dragon eye (used to heat the lava by Gradiax). I think either of those can make a decent sacrifice to Voice of Rot, and bonus points if the party have to...

    ZEITGEIST Resurrection in Zeitgeist Adventure Path

    I warned the party from the start that straight Resurrection is almost impossible in the world. So far there were three times where near-death of a PC occured, which were resolved: -by visually impressive visit of Crissiliri archbishop to Flint to re-bound the spirit of fallen to his body (done...

    ZEITGEIST Discoveries from the playtest of the ZEITGEIST setting book intro adventure

    Is there a way to access this adventure or this is a closed beta-test thing? Re: point 3. What are the rules for firearms in new version? In vanilla 5e longbows already have a range of 150/600, few monsters actually have a non-magical answer for a mounted ranger at a vast open field

    ZEITGEIST Zeitvice: one GM's guide to the best AP

    arkwright, with an immense respect to you and your work on Zeitvice and general contributions to these forums (and even more regarding upcoming ZG setting book)... I find it extremely ironic that this is not the first time I see you debating that your point of view on the campaign (and Nicodemus...

    ZEITGEIST what's on the other side of Ziggurats?

    Frikkin saved. Although I prefer to maintain that the name of the plane is Shembul, as it is made either from the body or the dreams (sources differ) of Thuuga-el-Shembul, the worldshaper worm...
