    Savage Pathfinder Pathfinder for Savage Worlds Is Live!

    For me, the tipping point was when I found the automation module for Foundry that lets players click on an enemy (or multiple enemies) to target them, then click on their attack or spell, and have the VTT roll the attack, compare to the targets AC, roll damage (checking for resistances), change...

    ZEITGEIST A post-Zeitgeist campaign (spoilers for Zeitgeist, Saltmarsh, PotA, Avernus, and now War of the Burning Sky)

    I am putting together a youtube playlist with our sessions, starting from last April:

    Looks like I’m going to need to make my party a time machine. :)

    ZEITGEIST Gets A Facelift

    This is very exciting! I’m currently running a Zeitgeist sequel campaign set 100 years after the Great Eclipse. I’m fascinated to see how much the canon world differs from ours!

    ZEITGEIST A post-Zeitgeist campaign (spoilers for Zeitgeist, Saltmarsh, PotA, Avernus, and now War of the Burning Sky)

    four months later. Mostly been playing Descent to Avernus content, with some Zeitgeist flavor. They traveled to Saltmarsh to steal the puzzle box from the Oweland estate. In doing so, things went very pear-shaped and B'alam the Tabaxi Sorcerer made a deal with the imp Billy Raoul who had been...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist re-mixed

    Sadly, this D&D game collapsed in the face of people not being able to show up on a regular basis. Some of us are doing one-off games instead, so if someone can't make it, we just play with whoever is there and don't have to worry about continuity.

    Playtest (A5E) Level Up Playtest Document #1: Origins

    Just getting into this, but my first comment comes from reading the Deep Dwarf culture ability Superior Darkvision. It makes the assumption that the member of that culture has the Dwarf heritage or another heritage with Darkvision. Also, it gives a flat range of 120 feet, which doubles the Dwarf...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist re-mixed

    After nearly two months of being unable to have sessions, we are taking a step back from the long-form mysteries of Zeitgeist and focusing on one-off adventures elsewhere in the world of Zeitgeist. We ended up at a cliffhanger in the underground church and then could only get two of our three...

    ZEITGEIST A post-Zeitgeist campaign (spoilers for Zeitgeist, Saltmarsh, PotA, Avernus, and now War of the Burning Sky)

    In was going to make it a spacesuit at first, but I didn’t want to show his face, so I searched for a Space Marine pic I could use but then I found a pic of Fallout power armor that I loved. And here we are.

    ZEITGEIST A post-Zeitgeist campaign (spoilers for Zeitgeist, Saltmarsh, PotA, Avernus, and now War of the Burning Sky)

    The group arrived at Rivergard Keep, where they spotted musket-wielding guards in House Oweland livery. Realizing that the guards of their main business competitor probably would know who they are, they took some time to apply mundane and magical disguises, and then approached the keep, flashing...

    ZEITGEIST A post-Zeitgeist campaign (spoilers for Zeitgeist, Saltmarsh, PotA, Avernus, and now War of the Burning Sky)

    Alright, it's been a summer of almost-weekly sessions, and we have finally arrived at some nice Zeitgeist-shaped hooks. The group has expanded to six, adding: Hassstur, a lizardfolk ranger, and Iohannes, a Yuan-Ti Warlock. Hassstur's player played IronPeak and TitanFist in the Zeitgeist game...

    Worlds of Design: Is Combat Now Passe?

    I have two campaigns going right now. One is a fairly linear adventure path and the other is a wide-open sandbox that I'm often fleshing out a week (or a day) in advance. The adventure path is very story focused and almost all the combats are big, important set pieces. That leads to about 70% RP...

    ZEITGEIST 1001 things PCs are totally allowed to do in Zeitgeist campaign

    89 Fail to stop the arsonist brothers from burning down an entire city block. 90 When the dockers stage a huge uprising in Bosum Strand to protest the RHC, convince Rock Rackus to turn it into a free concert by giving him an illusory license to use the space where the riot is happening as a...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist re-mixed

    I'm going to see if I can get them to write up what they learned, as I am always afraid of giving away secrets that they didn't actually learn when I recap mystery findings.

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist re-mixed

    With the help of Kaja Stewart, the constables and Dr. Aubrey stopped the mayor’s witch oil reservoir-refinery-basement thing from overflowing. As reward for helping them avert disaster, the constables helped themselves to all of Kaja’s stolen artifacts and had her charged with multiple homicides...

    D&D 5E (2014) Using the Acquisitions Inc book

    I’m running a Ghosts of Saltmarsh game where the PCs have acquired a ship and aren’t sure what to do with it when they don’t need it for an adventure. I had hoped that GoS would have some info on running a ship, but it’s very rules-light outside of combat. AI to the rescue! I now have a whole...

    ZEITGEIST A post-Zeitgeist campaign (spoilers for Zeitgeist, Saltmarsh, PotA, Avernus, and now War of the Burning Sky)

    So, there's not a lot to report. We've been playing weekly and they are through the first adventure of Ghosts of Saltmarsh and working on some of the GoS and Dragon of Icespire Peak mini-quests. They've acquired two new members: a Lizardfolk, and a Yuan-Ti. The existing members convinced the new...

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I too strict?

    Maybe they appear by magic. ;) But it's your game, and it sounds like he just didn't know your rules on it. Maybe take it easy on the poor guy who's just now learning how Wizards work in your world. If I were you, I'd cut this guy a little slack for now and let him get those spells into his...
