Meligos, I sure hope you are not reading this, right? We're likely to conclude adventure 7 next week, and, oh boy, I'm getting pretty far away from the written plot. To keep it brief: it's very likely that several players will drop after this due to various IRL reasons, so this serves as...

Have you read adventure 9? Politics of Dreaming play a big role there, all the lords are described

The darkness mainly depend on DM's interpretation, I think. In my version of Zeitgeit, Risur is "we'll make peace with you even if it kills you"-militaristic country, which considers using Sidjen's teleportation ritual as a nuclear weapon (remember the finale of 3rd adventure), Sidjen himself...

Aaaand I misclicked and now is laughing at the bombing instead of giving XP. Awkward

Oooh, ooh, I like this kind of stuff. If you're looking for facts established in canon to base your campaign "scientific" magic rules, from the top of my head, in no particular order: It's never directly stated anywhere, but I always assumed that ZG's world is part of usual D&D Multiverse...

I have many "what?" and only one XP to give you for this. Please tell me that "lightning weasel" is literally a weasel made of lightning and not a paraphrase for a "spark of life"

When spring returns to winter = Ekossigan of spring turning into his more morbid winter incarnation The cauldron births a spark = It's gonna bloooooooow The steel betrays the vintner = Born can't be controlled by Leone (his family has some vineyards and he's mentioned to appreciate good wine)...

Random Miller history facts: 1. While official version states that he was judged and convicted after trial in Alas Primos, the truth is that Clergy was too impatien (and perhaps afraid of the man), so they burned him in Pala after mock trial 2. You may not reveal the Nicodemus alias outright...

I think the players won't deduce a thing from these. Perfect :D

Minor things of note: -El Extrano may or may not know that king Boyle granted asylum to some dragons in Risur, but public revelation that the second man in Risur is freaking dragon is bound to change relationships between Risur and other countries; -Bourne is specifically warded against most...

We're drifting a bit offtopic, but I'm geniunely curious whether this problem exists only within my mind. For the reference, in Zeitgeist PCs are provided with government-funded "stipend", which they can use to requisition magic items (they're supposed to hand in all the loot they obtain during...

Once again, it's more about my personal view on 4e economics in general. I don't particularly like the image of "X-mas tree" PCs, with a magic item in every possible slot, plus a healthy share of one-use trinkets to spare, by level 10 or so, and that's what happened so far in my game. And you'd...

My 50 cents: promise of playing Zeitgeist was enough to bring back my gaming group after 18 months of hiatus. In total, we've been playing it for the last 3 years, I think, and managed to conquer the third of the whole AP (we're kinda slow, that's not the problem of the campaign :) ). Fair...

(You should probably specify that you're talking about 4e in the topic/badge of the thread) I agree with your interpretation. If the additional 1d10 is non-cumulative, as your friend suggests, the power would simply read "Make an attack as above, but with 6d10+constitution modifier damage"

Talking about complex mysteries... I know you didn't mean it, but this sounds unexpectedly sarcastic after my session. The party finally started to wonder whether they are actually the good guys after murdering poor captain Thrag Vidalia and then realizing he was mind-controlled "by...

In lieu of my own thread (which I should probably make after all), I'd like to use this one to share my joy of restarting my Zeitgeist campaign, year-and-a-half in hiatus. We have our old party back, new player and new co-DM, eager to bring some new spark into sixth adventure where we left our...

I mostly agree with what efreund said. One more point of consideration: rituals are stupidly expensive in 4e. By partaking in those, PC will soon severely hinder her expected wealth per level if you increase the ritual level to 24. If you want to limit the usage of rituals, consider including...

I'm pretty sure they belong to Glaucia, it's literally her broken chains. Version of Mr. Lee from "Bonds of forced faith" has a contingency ritual, which would "teleport his body to a hidden lair, where his minions would revive him" in case of mortal body injury, whatever you make of it. I...

Actually, neither McBannin, nor Stanfield IMHO should have geas placed on them. McBannin is too low in Ob hierarchy and never visited complex-under-the-Hill. Stanfield is said to be proficient in shielding his mind from intrusions (even if he's never said to be a psion, his "manifestations" are...

I can't believe noone so far mentioned that RHC holds confiscated exoskeleton armor, which is pretty handy in moving heavy objects.
