    ZEITGEIST Are high resolution maps available for VTTs?

    I looked as well and there are not. The maps I used in book 9 and 10 did work with Roll20 though , you just have to live with resolution issues I am afraid

    The group starts in the beseiged dwarven town trying to gather information to come up with a plan. They speak with Vlendan Heid and a dwarven wizard from Risur Sigmund who had visited the town to help his younger sister translate ancient dwarven runic texts and then stayed on to learn some...

    ZEITGEIST how did Gradiax fake his death? (spoilers!)

    The Skeleton in the throne room is of a Bronze dragon , which was clearly evil. I would suggest that alignment is not linked to colour in this world , and you could even justify making abilities independent of colour. There seem to have been no good dragons or if there were they did not live in...

    ZEITGEIST how did Gradiax fake his death? (spoilers!)

    Plus ending the violence in Ber is good for Risur, the good rep for helping to kill the dragons helps Risur/Ber relations and trying to kill Gradiaa outside of Risur and the monarchs special powers is chancy unless the king had a high level combat team . Aodhan could not have done it. Then...

    ZEITGEIST how did Gradiax fake his death? (spoilers!)

    With high level spellcasters you can make it look like a big fight and then have him plunge into a volcano or soemthing in his death throes so no one looks for the body, or 'disintigrate' him combined with invisibility , lots of ways to kill someone without leaving a body in D+D. Also because of...

    As we started the family found and rescued a dwarven priestess Florence of the god of forges who hailed from Risur. She had been visitng before the great eclipse and while she recognised the characters as the famous RHC agents from Flint she was not aware she was talking to her Queen, she had...

    Sadly no Lava Dragon, but we may possible soon see Komanov's alchemical bomb used to blow up her own army

    ZEITGEIST General tips for running Zeitgeist?

    Today I managed to fit in the future sister in law of one of my characters and get her to deliver an intersting and useful bit of plot information while also telling them that the one the Ash Wolf picked as a partner for their character is off on a search for the tomb of King Rod the Great , the...

    ZEITGEIST General tips for running Zeitgeist?

    Yes this sort of linkage is good. One of my pc's is some sort of relation of El Extrano, another is the reincarnated daughter of Kasavarina , I could not come up with good linkages for the others but I wish I had. Some sort of link to Kasavarina is good as it helps sell interest in book 8 which...

    ZEITGEIST General tips for running Zeitgeist?

    If you can find ways to invest the characters backstories into the plot. I found that having a female eladrin vekeshi mystic fits into the plot very well and I think that having a skyseer would be a very good idea as there was a lot of stuff in the early part of the campaign that I had to feed...

    ZEITGEIST One-shots for Zeitgeist

    I am thinking you probably want to avoid moments of revelation about the Ob until your players have played through book 8 to avoid spoilers for it but there are some other interesting events I can think of. The start of the first Clergy Eladrin war, we have a sinister conspiracy to imprison the...

    I forgot that Manuel had a present for Ashima-Shimtu a primer on the use of the first person in speech as grammatical education, after all he too suffers from the urge to narrate when posing in the night as Bat-Manuel. She is amused

    The Great Demon Lord Heist With the Coaltongue on route to Drakr the Queen and associates departed dor Sid Minos using an Air Walk spell. They planned on investigating the vault recovering Ashima-Shimtu and also the other prisoners. When greeted on arrival with warnings of doom in Crisslyr they...

    ZEITGEIST The affirmative action racial recruitment team of the RHC

    One of my players looked up some of the entymology of Ashima shimtu and had some questions Interesting aside: Ashima means “limitless” in Hindi (Elven?), it seems like it is an honorific addition to the word Shimtu (Mesopotamian for fate, tied to the concept of mana, i.e. what powers personal...

    ZEITGEIST The Rites of Rulership, Monarch of the Masses

    I think it depends on your group, there has not been an issue so far with my group. Maybe give out some sort of upgrade to the campaign feat for appropriate characters. Royal Skyseer gets Divination or perhaps Contact other Planes to replace augery, Commander of the Armies(Veteran) gets...

    ZEITGEIST The Rites of Rulership, Monarch of the Masses

    Except when fighting single powerful creatures for the defense of Risur the Monarchs powers are not overwhelming. The monarch of the land ability has been useful outside of combat to change geography but a few 4th level spell (Wall of Stone/Stoneshape) or a small army of minions could do the...

    ZEITGEIST The Rites of Rulership, Monarch of the Masses

    You could give other people special abilities but after some experience in prior campaigns I am careful about powercreep (Vampire Sorcerors). None of my players had a problem with the monarch getting extra abilities. They are mainly used for party benefit, the fast healing is nice but only...

    My Sarcasm does not work. They had expected the Gidim or someone else to turn up when the Ob removed planar protection, so they were not surprised that he was there, although the timing did surprise them. They are going to be even less happy about Ursalina, on the plus side they will not...
