I wasn't trying to call anybody a sexist either, I just wanted to point out that we as presumed westerners are always doing stuff with certain conscious or unconscious biases in mind. Take for example the fact that we almost always assume fantasy societies being based on a western-style nuclear...

I am somewhere between your two positions regarding adventure 8 and Elfaivar. Given that ZG follows a structure akin to a TV or book series, I can see why the lack of "progress" can be seen as a problem from a gaming narrative, where it isn't necessarily one from a character development...

Bonds of forced faith pt. 2 The group now finally starts their ascent to Cauldron Hill. Dame Melissa, being the only one with a steed, takes it as her job to scout ahead and look for signs of undead. After a while, she spots a person bound to a stake, rides a bit closer and hears faint...

I actually changed Steppengard's gender to female to make the "going mad" part even more accessible for my players. So what I had was: Survivor of a long, bloody feud Savvy enough to unify Dassen and being granted a new territory (the ninth land) Having romances with many members of the large...

Don't worry, he will return with more explanation in part 2. He's an old friend :) We split the party's characters into two batches, but Auryn and Carlyle specifically entered Melissa and Lorcan. I had Stanfield and Tomas while Carlyle's player had Harkover Lee and Amielle.

Bonds of Forced Faith, pt. 1 After reliving the experience of one of Stanfield's many deaths, we suddenly find ourselves in different personalities than before. Among them are King Lorcan, inhabited by Carlyle, who is accompanied by Green Knight Dame Melissa, inhabited by Auryn, as...

Bree is at least as old als LotR, I suppose :) But I have to admit that I regularly draw comparisons to ZG in a couple of shows that I watched. The last ones were Carnival Row (d'oh), The Alienist and Fullmetal Alchemist. And I still believe that there would be one WoW designer who knows...

Wow, so fitting for the campaign!

We didn't use much music in the campaign, but I had several pieces in my mind when it came to the "opening theme" for each chapter or regarding key scenes or characters. Maybe someday I will take some time to list them all. Most of them are OST or orchestral with the occasional metal or anime...

Yes, we basically did the same, with the exception of Taran being directly tied to "of the forest" and used the word "Sha" for "Light" or "Shining" as both Shaaladel (Sha-la-del -> Light over the horizon) and Shalosha (Sha-lo-sha -> Light of Lights) plus Shalandil, the last name of one of my...

We return to Pallita with the reassuring feeling of having at least one reliable ally within the Obscurati besides Alexander Grappa who is still inhabiting the body of Leone Quintal. Before we reunite with Kasvarina, we once again talk about the Arc of Reida and the opportunity it could provide...

Pretorian No. 9 Well, at least we now have some evidence that Nicodemus isn't permanently fused with our dear friend Andrei, another misdeed of the ghostly form of Miller which we readily share with Kasvarina. So there might still be hope that we can save our friend. We then search for a safe...

Oh you could use Dipnip for adventure 8. He's had so many rebirths that his "minding his own business" when that Srasama blast hit him is basically some sort of denial going on. If your player doesn't mind, then you can just toy with his past lives, especially if he is interested in that good...

Wow, one of your players married her? And here I thought we were the ones with the weird romance stories :D Oh and yes, having Nic with us on the journey would have been quite the ride. Maybe like one of those episodes where the party is stuck with the antagonist for some reason and there is...

Familiar ghosts After our short rest, we get up on our feet again. Kasvarina points out that she can feel the Arc resonate once more, which means that at least one other important memory would be nearby. So she places the artifact on her head again and instantly feels drawn into a...

Oh my, it has been months since my last recap? Time for a new one ;) Don't worry, I just had (and still have) a lot of work going on right now. The price of shame Besides feeling sorry for Asrabey, we finally have some clues where we could find out more of Kasvarina's lost memories...

Yep, that was also our turn on Stanfield. He's all talk, no action. We thought that it was simply because of realpolitics and because he wanted to keep his seat, but in reality he just threw everyone underneath the bus for the OB. And we threw that back at him with force when the time came to...

I once had a fighter who didn't have any sense of direction whatsoever. She could get lost in a larger, crowded inn. I had so much fun just bursting into the wrong room or stuff like that

Just go with the flow, I'd say. I know my players would be furious at me if I just killed off people they care about while they are present without giving them a chance to influence the outcome. Put her in danger (she's a melee cleric trying to prove herself) and see how they react. In my...
