    Gears of Revolution: Notes on my campaign

    Session 3 I've had to abandon the story hour for time reasons (I severely underestimated how long it would take to fully narrate a campaign), so I'll replace it here with some point form notes on the major events of each session. Session summary Aware that the boiler was on a course for a...

    Gears of Revolution: A Zeitgeist campaign

    - Sorry to do this, but I severely underestimated the time I would need to invest to fully narrate this story hour. I don't think I can find the time between my work and family commitments, so I've decided to continue the story hour in a session report summary rather than a full narrative...

    'New Classics' Module Survey

    You could be forgiven for taking rangerwickett's recommendation with a grain of salt given that he's writing the :z: AP, so let me give a less biased opinion: Zeitgeist has one of the most interesting and compelling plots that I've seen in a 4e product. The first adventure, Island at the Axis...

    Female Eladrin Vekeshi Mystic - why in the RHC?

    Or maybe she sees the RHC as a way to help the eladrin survive. After all, if anyone is going to stumble upon schemes that endanger the fey and the eladrin, it's the RHC. I see Vekeshi mysticism as the theological opposite of eschatology. The latter assumes that everything will end one day and...

    NPC art previews from "The Dying Skyseer"

    Lovely work. I especially like the dragonborn. I can't help but notice the single attractive female, who just happens to be elven. After Sokana's efforts, my Players will likely kill her on sight.

    Ahhhhh. That makes sense! :)

    Simplified Rolls

    Close. It's the number of dice, not the type of dice, that affects your chance of getting the average. For example, if you roll a d20, you have an equal chance of rolling each possible result between 1 and 20. Each has a 1 in 20 (or 5%) chance. Now take the attached picture. It is a table...

    Gears of Revolution: Notes on my campaign

    Story hour updated. Another enjoyable session, again split about 50:50 between roleplaying (with the NPCs aboard the coaltongue) and combat (the saboteurs). I'm pleased to say that I don't think my players even considered the possibility that the Duchess would be involved in any nefarious...

    Gears of Revolution: A Zeitgeist campaign

    Session 2: The sabotage Thornt’s form immediately dissolved into a swarm of buzzing insects, but even that was not enough to avoid the halfling’s attack. The poison-coated blade slashed dozens of Thornt-insects from the air, and the same magic that allowed the shifter to alter his form allowed...

    PC's Just Turned Paragon - Need New Adventures

    Unless I'm mistaken, the WotBS 4e modules are available from the Enworld "subscriber's content" area (the green button at the top of the forums). At least they were when I downloaded #1 and #12 to see whether I should get excited about :z:. As you can tell from my sig and status, I did.

    D&D 5E (2014) Scooping morrus on the site

    I've never really seen the point in the ignore function. I've always believed that everyone has something constructive to contribute. Over the past month however, I've come to the conclusion that if you have anything positive to say, you certainly aren't saying it on the 4e discussion board...

    Gears of Revolution: A Zeitgeist campaign

    Session 2: All Aboard (cont.) Once the dignitaries were aboard and enjoying their refreshments, the Coaltongue cast off from Fleet Square and steamed into Flint harbour. The crowds lining the shore cheered and threw ribbons and small flower wreaths into the water as the warship moved off...

    Gears of Revolution: A Zeitgeist campaign

    Session 2: All Aboard (cont.) The small group moved off, leaving Tok to consider his study of the capacitor. A pink-skinned tiefling stood nearby, surrounded by a group of naval officers and industrialists. Tok and Erik both recognized Geoff Massadre from their work in the lead up to the...

    Gears of Revolution: A Zeitgeist campaign

    Session 2: All Aboard "Some Risuri like to think that we're safe and clever. That our artifice and strength mean our enemies cannot touch us. But I know better; that even the greatest of endeavours is vulnerable somewhere. Every massive chain has one rusted link." The crowd, eager to get a...

    Gears of Revolution: Notes on my campaign

    I don't have time for a full recap or to update the story hour tonight, but wanted to pop in and say RangerWickett, take a bow. You know a story's a good one when you get players to swear. When Thornt looked out the aft window on the Coaltongue and saw the Duchess sinking beneath the waves...

    WotC sayz "People don't use rituals much" - O RLY?

    I don't think the tweet you quoted supports your *cough* rant *cough*. They said "they think people are not using rituals much and are thinking about new ways to price them. " That's an acknowledgement of a problem and an indication of attempts at a solution.

    First session from a player's perspective

    Great observations! Any chance of a spoiler warning in the title or the OP? I know that at least one of my players reads this forum. He says he avoids spoilers but he might "stumble in" to the thread and see the Duchess' and Sokana's true colours before he finds out for himself on Sunday night.

    Gears of Revolution: Notes on my campaign

    Story hour updated. The updates are still for Session 1, and cover the period after the docker brawl, but just before the PCs board the Coaltongue, which is where we ended our session. A significant number of NPCs are introduced in this part of the adventure, and it gives an opportunity for...

    Gears of Revolution: A Zeitgeist campaign

    Session 1: The King's Arrival The members of RT3 spread out, moving among the assembled dignitaries to make sure that security was as tight as Principal Minister Lee believed. Fleet Square overflowed with almost a thousand people. The crowd of seven hundred had been corralled into the...
