    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist deities?

    The underabundance of gods is one of the key themes of the setting for me. The eladrin have a dead god, makin them vengeful and lost. The danorans have abandoned the gods, making them independent and proud. The clergy have an established but absent god, making them the Catholic church. Risur...

    How does EN Publishing feel WotC announcement?

    I hope you don't. I haven't liked the thrust of the Legends and Lore articles, and with Mearls and Cook at the helm I suspect I won't be adopting 5e. It almost seems prescient that you included guidelines to finish the AP in paragon... On a more practical note, given how little support epic...

    January 2012 Editorial - Romancing the Stone Giant

    Which, if I let the inner pessimist loose, means he's almost certain to be made redundant next Christmas...

    D&D 4E Reply if you love 4e

    I love 4e. It's really that simple.

    ZEITGEIST [ZEITGEIST] The Continuing Adventures of Korrigan & Co.

    Any chance you could share the timeline you wrote, gideon? My players are just about to start day 2 (likely by visiting the House of Blue Birds, then going to Nevard's henge) and I get the feeling I'll need to start keeping track of time soon.

    Gears of Revolution: Notes on my campaign

    Session 9 Session Recap: Upon arrival at headquarters, Erik went to speak about Heward Sechim with Ziggy in administration, an old contact of his who had access to the RHC’s archives. Ziggy knew of Sechim as an industrialist and was happy to help, disappearing into the record stacks for a few...

    Saving Throw vs Death Saving Throw

    Your interpretation here goes far beyond the rules quoted upthread, although I admit it's almost certainly RAI. I'm not sure I'm happy with any argument that introduces Schrodinger's Death into 4e :) Less tongue-in-cheek, the rules quoted upthread refer to an effect "changing" and a "new...

    Rewards

    A rethink One of my players pointed out to me towards the end of Island at the Axis of the World that the player-wealth economy is going to get really out of whack if we're allowing players to trade in items for full value (rather than the usual 20% or 50%) via the RHC vault but are giving out...

    Gears of Revolution: Notes on my campaign

    Session 8 Session recap: RT3's members returned to RHC headquarters the next morning, eager to quiz Alton about how the strange scroll had made its way into Tok's pigeonhole. Unfortunately, Assistant Chief Inspector Delft summoned them to his office before the mail clerk arrived at work...

    Previews: Dying Skyseer battlemaps

    I just noticed that the Factory District map changed between the preview and the final version (to increase the width of the alleys - great decision, by the way!). For those looking to use the the new map (on page 89 of the adventure), the propert dimensions are 2541 x 1740.

    Saving Throw vs Death Saving Throw

    I can see a very persuasive argument for saying that failing your third death save at a time other than the end of your turn would not result in you dying (ie. Dying become Dead when you fail that save, which is "an effect changing" and thus the quoted rule applies. I'm not sure the same logic...

    ZEITGEIST [ZEITGEIST] The Continuing Adventures of Korrigan & Co.

    Agreed! Think of it this way Morrus and Rangerwickett, you have two groups actively running the AP at the moment (mine and gideon's) and both are vociferously reporting how much they're loving it. In fact, before pretty much every session I get an email from at least two of my players saying...

    Gears of Revolution: Notes on my campaign

    Session 8a: A Day in the Life Session Recap In the days and weeks after the incident on Axis Island, RT3 returned to their usual routine. Wilheim heard from one of his contacts that Nathan Jierre has indeed been offered asylum by Risur and was hosted by a Flint noble named Anton Feldspar. The...

    Has a high-res version of the Flint city map been posted anywhere?

    Thanks! There was some talk before the AP launched of hosting the hi-res versions in the subscriber area for us onliney DMs to download. Is that something that can be achieved?

    How would you run a defend-the-building type oneshot?

    If you have DDI or some back issues of Dungeon, check out Dead by Dawn. It's a low level one-shot involving the PCs holing up in a church and beating off waves of zombies as they wait for the sun to come up. It garnered a lot of praise when it was published, both for its non-standard adventure...

    Myths of the Far Future will be Pathfinder too!

    Does the subscription model provide you with any insulation from this sort of thing? I know all the recent chatter about 5E has been giving me nightmares about what might happen to :z: if 5E does come out soon.

    Reaching through the Veil

    The Reaching Through the Veil trait of the Vestige of Death (pg 40, Dying Skyseer) says the following: I've bolded the words that I'm not sure about. Or rather, the words are clear but I'm not sure what the intent is. As written, a PC who readies an attack against the Vestige, or...
