    Spoilers Alien: Romulus (Spoilers)

    Yeah, the aliens always had a sort of 'violating conservation of energy' element to them. Maybe you can shrug and assume somehow Prometheus goop is supremely more complicated than we can tell, and it actually is able to tap into some sort of extradimensional energy source that allows a...

    Worlds of Design: Why We War

    In my game, the party has been spending a few months trying to keep a queen (who is showing a strong desire to be a tyrant) from getting more power. Their current plan is going to take a big magic item she wants and give it to another city . . . which yeah, will stop her from being able to be a...

    ZEITGEIST List of Pop Culture References in Zeitgeist

    I'm apparently not as cultured as you think. I'm not familiar with that one.

    ZEITGEIST What Are People's Experiences with the Zeitgeist Prestige Classes?

    Oh right, ASIs exist. I never use them myself, so I forgot.

    ZEITGEIST What Are People's Experiences with the Zeitgeist Prestige Classes?

    This isn't an official answer, but yeah, I have no problem with the GM saying that you keep getting feats every 4 character levels.

    D&D General Need interesting overland chase ideas after the PCs rescue a kidnapped VIP

    We got a little sidetracked when two PCs came up with the idea to have one of them become the apprentice of an evil witch working with the high priestess Kalumum, in order to spy on her and learn how to defeat her. So that was a fun detour I had to make up on the spot. But when the 'rescue'...

    D&D General Need interesting overland chase ideas after the PCs rescue a kidnapped VIP

    I think I have a starter idea for what I want the final encounter to be. They have a boat that will be waiting for them once they get to the Chebas River, and they know what canal outlet the boat will be waiting by, so they can head for that. And along the way there will probably be some...

    D&D General Need interesting overland chase ideas after the PCs rescue a kidnapped VIP

    5e. The party is 4th level. The magic system for the players is the same, but the setting has a sort of technology of stone tablets that create magical effects within 12 cubits, which the temple uses as gifts or threats to keep other communities allied. The party's first gig was stealing a sort...

    D&D General Need interesting overland chase ideas after the PCs rescue a kidnapped VIP

    I have really awesome players who appreciate the effort I put into world building and pacing exposition. (The game is in 8 hours.) Chee-tor's player made a whole suite of thundercats-esque Tabaxi NPCs, including the power hungry sorceress Tigrexa, the mistrustful shadow warrior Dark Panthra...

    D&D General Need interesting overland chase ideas after the PCs rescue a kidnapped VIP

    Can I tap into your genius? Tonight my players will be rescuing a priestess (Nita) being held hostage by a rival religion. The setting is broadly bronze age Mesopotamia, with the main action being in a Babylon analog (No-Ostalin) along one river, complete with a big ziggurat where the high...

    D&D General Developing a Homebrew Pantheon: Another word for "Saint?"

    Godhand. In the ZEITGEIST setting, the Clergy has some members who are not only supremely pious, but also acknowledged by the community of the faithful as standing for their highest ideals, so they can undergo a ritual investiture that allegedly trans-substantiates their flesh into something...

    D&D General Monster Expectations

    Do what you want, but just be narratively consistent with what you've previously established. I'm doing a bronze age game where I had the party fight a Hellcat (which I'm not even sure is in 5e - the invisible but glowing devil lion), which I flavored as being an angelic servitor of the god of...

    Trailer Mufasa: The Lion King | Official Trailer

    Dude, if they got Jake Lloyd or Hayden Christensen to voice young Mufasa, I'd buy a ticket just for the lulz. I await answers to such critical questions as, "How did Scar get scarred?" and "How come all those elephants died in one place?" and "Where did Rafiki learn kung-fu?" and "How many...

    Wait, the cleric in your party is named Nico? Did you changed Nicodemus the Gnostic's name?

    Fiction Writer's Thread

    What did they say? I only have one person reading my current novel. Well, one friend, and a handful of folks on the internet have checked out the first couple chapters, but nobody asked me to share the rest.

    Fiction Writer's Thread

    This thread got me to work on my novel query pitch. Which helped me clarify a bit of where I need to land the ending of the book. So now it's 3am and I've been writing for a while. Thank you, Reynard.
