Well... Last night almost went too well. Wyvern rider dropped Dont-do-that to 0 hp within 2 turns despite being momentarily disarmed. She then rolled 9 and 1 on death saves while Iryth were failing the Medicine checks to stabilize her friend. All hail halfling Lucky trait, otherwise we'd have a...

In my campaign, Risur has weaponized Nem defense reaction from Sidjen planar ritual. A competent spellcaster only needs less than half an hour and a bit of spell reagents (with golden plate of variable size being the most expensive one) to potentially clear a whole city district from all...

And so, we're playing with Iryth, tiefling sorcerer with white dragon ancestry, whose family had a small shop in Gate Pass prior to their arrest as innate spellcasters, and Don't-do-that, halfling kensei monk with a backstory rolled from random tables. Now this land has the North Wind...

Sent you a message with Gdrive link. All credit to Siberys! I only removed his homebrew languages from .part files.

We've just started a discussion in our group on the topic of our campaign speed... At current pacing it'll take us approximately 12 years to reach lvl30 (middle of Diaspora, but only reaching lvl17 due to some reordering), so release of setting book will definitely motivate me to speed up a bit...

Thank you for your replies! We've built a monk+sorcerer duo and hope to start this Thursday. Some of the encounters collapse in this case, i.e. lantern archon has 28 hp by default and I'm supposed to remove 15 hp for each player below 4... I guess that's what's called "win-win situation" for...

Which system are you running? I can attest that requisition system can be completely broken from ~level 3 in 4e, if your players are willing. Be prepared for this or, better, speak to them about it and try to work out a balance which will satisfy everyone. Narratively... Remember that there's an...

My two friends finally persuaded me to DM for them and I wanted to run WotBS since forever. I'm already managing ZG 4e campaign with ~5 players, so I wanted to keep this side project to the minimum possible party, and most people I could invite as players would shy away from overnight sessions...

82. Recruiting a dog paladin into the world-saving party. Not a weredog, or a talking dog, or an "awakened animal" dog, just a fluffy st. Bernard with plate mail and fullblade in his mouth. A player joined for a single session, liked the atmosphere and decided to stay, so...

It sounds unreasonable to address this future setting book to a dozen or so DMs who have completed the AP in full. Or even to a hundred (two hundred?) people who played enough to understand the scale of the AP finale and corresponding philosophical problems. It's perfectly understandable why...

I certainly meant no offence to RangerWickett, there is an upper limit to what amount of material you can cram into single campaign. I know nothing of Steven Universe but I'm definitely interested in your plot, that's why I created this thread. My own Stanfield happens to be a former lead of...

SPOILERS GALORE Among many story points of Zeitgeist campaign, there was a single one that never sat with me right - Stanfield's transformation to invulnerable rakshasa in the finale of the Adventure 9. It's coming out of nowhere, except for a single legend in Player's Guide (once again...

When I first read that part in the adventure, I was charmed by the thought that planar magic doesn't have to be bound by puny causuality rules. Yes, several completely separate events (erosion of the stone tree, Ob's experiments with ziggurat of Avilona and weakening of living Avilona the Eagle)...

Good luck, waiting for results. In my run, I made Stanfield an NPC (mostly due to his uncertain status in main campaign - the party is so sure of his betrayal since adventure 1 that I'm inclined to do otherwise, somehow) and gave Lee character sheet to a party member who's obsessed with dragons...

There's video records of Spiteski's games on youtube and twitch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYf0H8FYwq0&list=PLmY8RUC93Th3IOY3hppl79x5iAENdju7n

Alright, "fandom is magic" is now a title for my DM-only folder of ZG materials.

I really like it. On one hand, as Moreton says, most of the things you listed could be explained by "that's just standard Fantasy". On the other - no "standard Fantasy" can actually explain why these rules and rituals work. This also gives both demon race and Gidim a reason to be interested in...

Judging from 4e version, the intended design is to shoot every second round

It's official, we're literally living in Lanjyr. Everything is multiverse, everything is connected.

77. Convincing their DM that a random legend they once heard about ruins in the jungle is totally connected to the quest at hand. That sounded much better than the thing I had in mind. Did anyone end up using The Perpetual City in the jungles of Elfaivar in any way or form? I get "Made in...
