    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist re-mixed

    I just posted about my post-Zeitgeist game here. Additionally, I am running a new group through Zeitgeist. As this will be my third time through the first several adventures, I am mixing things up and doing things out of order as it entertains me best. I'm treating this game as an alternate...

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

    My group (The Bosum Strand Irregulars) finished up Zeitgeist in September of 2017. Since then, we've played a couple of other games and three people (including myself and my wife) have moved away from the town we all played in. Well, with recent events upping the importance of online...

    Time Ghosts. Of course. It’s right there.

    ZEITGEIST BSI: Bosum Strand Irregulars

    here's what I have so far: Fire: Jiese - Precision technology functions I'm going to rule that this icon has been degraded in some way, to explain why we're back to a pre-Zeitgeist campaign tech level. Life: Av & Ascetia Conjures physical reflection of whatever it orbits. People are more...

    ZEITGEIST BSI: Bosum Strand Irregulars

    I can't believe it's been two-and-a-half years since I was last here. To answer a question from 2.5 years ago: Sargon of Uggat, whose father was the cup-bearer of Ur-Zababa was my absolute favorite NPC name. Once I got his name memorized, I was just rolling that out every chance I got. I even...

    ZEITGEIST Two new Zeitgeist games underway!

    I guess I'll start some threads for tracking what happens in the games. It's been a long while since I've been active around here. Do people still read and enjoy such things?

    ZEITGEIST Two new Zeitgeist games underway!

    And I just noticed that there is already a Kellandia in Elfaivar, so now they are New Kellandia.

    ZEITGEIST Two new Zeitgeist games underway!

    Had to make a few changes to the Saltmarsh town map: One of my players (Mort and Alienor in Bosum Strand Irregulars): "....naughty word, I opened the map. I saw the Srasama's name... I now am all giddy and scared at the same time. and it just popped in my head, 'Chewie, we're home!'... 'It was all...

    ZEITGEIST Two new Zeitgeist games underway!

    Indeed, but I'm sure they came back when the world got re-configured or something. It's more fun to have them praying to their old characters than just saying they're super-dead. :)

    ZEITGEIST Two new Zeitgeist games underway!

    We’re not recruiting. I just wanted to share... I’ve got a new Zeitgeist group going on roll20, which is basically everyone I play D&D with but haven’t run through Zeitgeist yet. this is my 2.5th run through the story, so I am remixing it a lot. They are currently working several side threads...

    ZEITGEIST Any Zeitgeist 5e online tools?

    I'm looking at starting an online 5e Zeitgeist campaign for a new group. We haven't decided what we're going to use to run the game, but the leading candidates are roll20 and Tabletop Simulator. Are there any tools for running Zeitgeist in those (or other) formats? (I'm thinking like the...

    WotBS [WotBS] 5ed. still a thing?

    Gotcha. I guess I just haven't run enough 5e at this level. My only other experience with 5e was live-converting a Zeitgeist game from epic tier 4e to level 11-20 5e. I also wanted to say, thanks for all the work you're putting into this. Without your work, we wouldn't even be playing WotBS...

    WotBS [WotBS] 5ed. still a thing?

    Question: I'm running the adventure for 3 PCs, and the adjustments for some encounters seem like they're scaled for 4th edition (-40 hp per enemy for 1 fewer PC was seen, for one). I also notice that enemies have a very high number of hit points. Black Horse Thugs have hit points like they're...

    WotC Considering NPC Stat Format Change

    No! The game can't be easy to set up and run! Then people won't be able to demonstrate their superiority by running a 3-book encounter off the top of their head! Nothing is more fun than a monster with spells and a magic item forcing me to look into the PHB and DM's Guide while already holding...

    WotBS [WotBS] 5ed. still a thing?

    I'm going to be starting 5e WotBS with some of my Zeitgeist group (Bosum Strand Irregulars thread around here somewhere), thanks to these conversions. We're thrilled to have them (and the roll20 versions). Thanks!

    I shall. They also think you're the best. :) I probably need to put all of these posts into the BSI tumblr as well: http://yoccu.tumblr.com/tagged/d%26d+stuff http://kat-rampant.tumblr.com/tagged/zeitgeist

    I was planning on using that for an alternate re-telling of the tale, but it got ignored for a long time and then just became a pile o memes. :)

    I can now link them all to this thread and I will ask them if they'd like to write up their thoughts. Heading to bed now, but I will be back to give you all of my feedback in the next couple of days. and feel free to "nag." The more you ask, the more I'll remember and want to write. :)
