The Duchesses headed to Bole and managed to wrangle the Father of Thunder amidst his gigantic stampede by distracting him with vats of fungus beer and then climbing up him. Several Duchesses were riding him at once when he finally came crashing down. He thanked them for a glorious fight and...

I can't believe I never noticed that.

I was going through my shiny new copy of Zeitgeist volume 3 (4e) when I was directed to the Appendices. I had trouble finding my page because all of the Appendices have the page numbers and bottom-of-page chapter titles in the gutter instead of out on the edge. It looks like the Appendices title...

It definitely does not make things easier, but I wanted the new king to feel like there was more going on in the world than just the structure of 10. Both of them have an open structure that lets the group choose what order they want to attack their problems, so I just extended that to the...

Yep. We ran a side adventure through Curse of Strahd for everyone to get used to 5e (including me). Now, we are two weeks into adventures 10 & 11 (which I smushed together) and it's going pretty well. I just ask the players what they want to investigate next at the end of each session and then...

We did exactly that, for pretty much the same reasons.

We caught the captain Dale reference, with the pie and coffee. And the red curtains. Didn't really go anywhere with them, sadly.

some 5e conversion work-in-progress: Fifth Edition Rites of Rulership effects for King IronPeak: Lord of the Land: - As a bonus action, move up to four 5-ft cubes of natural terrain up to 5 feet each. - Name a creature to prevent it from entering Risur via magic for one month - When engaged in...

Yeah, we had a Vampire PC early on in the campaign and that player and I pretty much agreed that Arrovia and Barovia were the same thing in our world. :)

Woo. We took an extended vacation in Barovia to give Ryan Nock & co. some time to put the final polish on the Zeitgeist Compilation. We will return to Zeitgeist tomorrow night! A sort of "current status" update which will only make sense to those who have their own Zeitgeist Adventure Path to...

Fantastic news! I am busily converting adventure #10 into 5e, one step ahead of my group. We'll see how it goes! :)

"For example, for a party of five 9th-level characters, a CR 12 legendary creature makes an appropriate encounter." Ah, how... intuitive. I love how the numbers don't actually interact with one another. Makes me miss 4e in a big way. Curse of...

No...

If only I could trust a Cthulhu RPG Kickstarter to deliver a physical product before the heat-death of the universe.

They actually expect the party to be third level. The Haunted House is provided to get them there if they're not already and then it's "here's a sandbox full of variously-leveled threats. Good luck!" Some retreats will be in order, I think. I'm okay with that as I'm the sort of DM who will let...

other hooks: - A Vistani messenger delivers a request for help signed by the Burgomaster - A Vistani caravan invites the party to come help them free their lord form his curse - Werewolves on the prowl. Includes hooks for the 5 Adventurer's League factions. I haven't read it. Magic: some...

I do love a scavenger hunt... let's see how long it takes.

does anyone have a Tarokka deck yet, or is that not out until the main release on the 15th?

Finishing up adventure 9 this weekend! (then we might take a detour into 5e Ravenloft to give adventure 13 time to finish before we dive into Epic tier)

I've mostly been running straight out of the book with 6. The only modifications I've made is that we're using the gun rules where they so an extra 2[w] damage, so I've added a couple of dice to enemy shooters, and when a bomb is going off, I generally bump the damage so it averages around 100...
