    ZEITGEIST The Hounds - a Zeitgeist Campaign

    Session 3 (2-14-21): In the immediate aftermath of the shock of the giant deck guns going off, the king calmed everyone down and called them to order. He still had a big announcement. That announcement turned out to be his desire for lasting peace with Danor. And, to ensure it, he would be...

    ZEITGEIST The Hounds - a Zeitgeist Campaign

    Session 2 (2-11-21): We moved over to the Isle where the ship was being built and the crowd that had been prescreened. That made our jobs much easier for the next couple of hours. Along the way, Delft asked to speak with us and commended us for handling the first portion of our assignment well...

    ZEITGEIST The Hounds - a Zeitgeist Campaign

    Chapter 1, A Traitor’s Lament Session 1 (2-4-21): After a full few days of tests, interviews, and probing, I sat alone in a small room at the RHC. I wasn’t sure if I’d made the cut or not… I was just left alone to sit. After a bit of time, a young man came to the room to get me and led me...

    ZEITGEIST The Hounds - a Zeitgeist Campaign

    Meet the Author: Introducing Jovan Prosser I'll provide some additional detail on character who is "writing" these journals to help give context. Here is a quick summary of his 10-page backstory: Jovan grew up in the wetlands near Shale. His mother died young, so he and his brother Asi were...

    ZEITGEIST The Hounds - a Zeitgeist Campaign

    (Here is some additional lore my player constructed as he developed his backstory:) The Reavers- Toward the end of the war between Risur and Danor, a company of sellswords became very famous. They were led by a giant half-elf named Reiland and called, “The Reavers.” They became famous for their...

    ZEITGEIST The Hounds - a Zeitgeist Campaign

    We have been running the Zeitgeist Adventure Path on Roll20 since the beginning of February (with individual sessions before that). One of my players keeps a detailed journal (2 others journal as well, but not as consistently) written by his character, who is named Jovan. He has given me...

    D&D 5E (2014) It's Time To Rethink What An Adventure Path Can Be On Roll20

    Digging for Lies was great. It was not as intricate and complex as The Dying Skyseer (which may be my favorite adventure ever, but is not for beginning groups/players!) or as clear and fast paced as adventure one. It was in the middle - more linear (in a good way) than Skyseer but with more...

    ZEITGEIST Death of the Author -- coming soon!

    Thanks for the quick response. The Roll20 versions that Tormyr has done are better than what I could do on my own and also saved an incredible amount of time. Even with everything set up, the complexity of the Gears can demand a lot of prep time even when all the heavy lifting is done for you...

    ZEITGEIST Death of the Author -- coming soon!

    I saw an early version of this adventure, and it was excellent. Can't wait to jump in on the kickstarter! I hope everything will be done in a way that makes it easy to set up and play on a VTT (player and DM versions of maps, etc) or that a Roll20 version will be offered for sale or as a...

    ZEITGEIST Start a thrilling investigation on Roll20 with The Dying Skyseer

    You can also make a full copy of the campaign from your main games page and then just delete the things you don't want or need. I'm a pro subscriber, so that may be pro only, but I don't think it is

    ZEITGEIST Yerev the Dragon Tyrant

    Thank you!! I thought I'd seen it somewhere in that adventure but when I went back I couldn't find it. I just didn't reread far enough. Thank you!

    ZEITGEIST Yerev the Dragon Tyrant

    Is there any significance to the Dragon Tyrant Yerev and his unblinking eye? There is a really interesting sidebar on Yerev in the player's guide, but I haven't found any references to him or her in the actual path. There is a different reptilian eye that is weaponized, so I was trying to figure...

    ZEITGEIST Start a thrilling investigation on Roll20 with The Dying Skyseer

    Actually I think it came out on Roll20 February 9th (but who's keeping track) :) This thread was a follow-up posting.

    ZEITGEIST Start a thrilling investigation on Roll20 with The Dying Skyseer

    @Tormyr, I hate to be "that guy" (again), but do you have an update on when adventure 3 will be available? Are you still on the every 1-2 month schedule, anticipating a release between now and early April?

    ZEITGEIST Homebrew World with Zeitgeist

    I have diversified the world somewhat, making Tieflings the dominant race in Danor, Dwarves more populous in Drakr, and having a larger sprinkling of all races everywhere. I know that isn't what you mean, but I think as long as you have some elves/eladrin in Risur and Elfaiver, some tieflings in...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitvice: one GM's guide to the best AP

    The requisition system was a little tricky for us. I told them their future requisitions would be based in part on the value of the gear they turned in, so that incentivised the "finding treasure" piece of it that they enjoy and kept them from leaving everything behind. I started by giving them...

    ZEITGEIST Homebrew World with Zeitgeist

    My advice would be to read very thoroughly through all the adventures at least twice before you start homebrewing the world. I've been running campaigns only in homebrewed worlds for 20 years and started out to heavily modify this one. After some time and a lot of work, I realized this one is...

    ZEITGEIST Start a thrilling investigation on Roll20 with The Dying Skyseer

    My group is loving the depth of this investigation. If the party fully explores most of the threads, there is a LOT of content here. Trying to take our time so that the next one is released before we finish Skyseer.

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist and Roll20, any info?

    What is this Roll20 witchcraft? I've looked so many times for this, including searching the forums. My filter menu only gives length as an option for adventures. Do you have to type a command in the text search? If so, is there a list somewhere? I've used Roll20 for 4 years, but you've taught me...
