    EN Publishing The Cauldron: A Novel by Russ Morrissey

    It is basically one of the last chapters in the Manga... the Cauldron is the place where all Stars and Star Spirits/Seeds in the galaxy are born. The rest is a pretty complicated mess of time travel and kind of an allegory on the threat of... entropy I guess :D

    WotBS A War of the Burning Sky Wiki

    I fear that it might be lost. Is there any way to retrieve the contents of the old Wiki?

    WotBS [WotBS] What is the name of the continent on which WotBS takes place?

    I agree that it is much easier to implement the events of WotBS into the ZG timeline if you don't plan to play WotBS.

    I'm getting massive Sailor Moon vibes from the Cauldron <3

    WotBS [WotBS] What is the name of the continent on which WotBS takes place?

    You'd still have to decide whether WotBS takes place before or after the first ritual. If before, then there would be no sun (and honestly, I don't see any reason why people without at least low-light vision would even exist on such a planet). If after, you'd have to consider the axis seal...

    WotBS [WotBS] What is the name of the continent on which WotBS takes place?

    After having played through much of Zeitgeist and being a GM for WotBS, I'd say that you'd need to alter quite a bit of WotBS lore and setting to make it a seamless transition. First and foremost... there was no freaking sun before the Axis Seal. So if the ritual happened shortly before WotBS...

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    (On to a rather long-ish post. I'll leave this one here as I could not get it out of my mind ;) ) So we join the beran fleet with two ships from Risur alongside the Lux Profectusque as they sail towards the Isla de las Focas. As we already expected, the weather turns from bad to storm as soon...

    D&D 3.x 3E and the Feel of D&D

    Some of the 2e art doesn't age too well because much of it is very obvious 80's style. Especially the hair. Zardnaar's heroes Lorebook is a good exception as it uses a more timeless style. As with Lockwood's Demihuman deities... well, I like Lockwood, but this Corellon doesn't work for me...

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    So we return to the summer court, approach Fordren and ask him for yet another six-eyes talk. He realizes that we're being even more serious than usual, so suggests a second stroll at the beach. “We know who you are, so no need for more secrets and lies.” Carlyle says calmly. “I see. I've been...

    Dealing with troublesome players (broken & passive)

    - Tell them that you don't have fun DMing for CE characters that just want to get away with doing whatever they want. - Maybe add a NPC to the group for a while to give the shy players someone for orientation that isn't a complete nutjob. - Use story relevant NPC that directly address the...

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    It takes a while this time, but we're finally being granted another audience in Slate. So we take the opportunity to directly ask King Aodhan and Principal Minister Lee whether and how Francis Fordren would be entangled with super secret projects of the risuri government. To our surprise, we're...

    WotBS WotBS 5e with only two players

    been there, done that. What I did was pretty much exactly what you're discussing, but we played Pathfinder and not 5e. I had two players with Gestalt characters plus whatever NPC they'd liked to take with them. Which always included Torrent. As Gestalt, the problem of overshadowing is next to...

    D&D General DnD Stereotypes In The Home Game

    I... almost never use any of these tropes. Villagers will sometimes (verbally) attack other humanoids that look strange if the village had been subject to monstrous attacks in the past, but that's all...

    ZEITGEIST Ambassadors in Book 6

    Well, our DM noticed that problem and... had the Ambassador die a couple of weeks before adventure 6 so that we had a reason to do his or her job.

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    Session 38 After the duplicant's examination, we call it a day and return to our room as we got several messages to send to Risur. Auryn buries her head in books about magic, and turns suddenly quite pale when she comes across a section about magic of souls and the divine. When Carlyle asks...

    ZEITGEIST One shots and side quests.

    My GM and I did most of our brainstorming for Elfaivar when I had only the PHB avaliable (he gave me some additional infos), so he went with the Akela Sathi being a Sentosa-only institution and my character knew nothing about this tradition. From the little that was known about Eladrin...

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    You mean the King Kong reference? I actually thought Borne to be a metaphor for the "robots gaining consciousness" debate, hence the giant android form. For his intended ritualistic use, I'd say that the added stability of a quadruped would make sense though :D

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    Carlyle then returns back to the rest of us and tells us about his final encounter with the Bruse. We both agree that we'd need Margit at our side immediately as her divintaion magic might be crucial in finding out more about the Oddcog's whereabouts. Or whether he's still alive at all. Besides...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2E Errata

    Nah, I'd say the programming comparison is fine and as close as you can get. We're talking about a ruleset that "computers" (us players) can use to play their game. But unlike real computers, you can neither run thousands of sims to test your rules for balance issues, bugs or inconsistencies (AI...

    WotBS WotBS advice needed (SPOILERS galore)

    Yep, taking Balace to the Valley is actually discussed in the adventure and they would start getting better immediately as soon as they left Eresh. So both the Rags and the villagers will come out of their stupor by that time. So, in regards to what happens next, there are a few variables to...
