Cool. I'll post what I end up doing with them, so other DMs who haven't already integrated them somewhere else have another option.

Distant Madness I forgot to mention in my last update that Vesta made his distant madness save, and was cured. The players had been very paranoid about the possible effects of distant madness and asked everyone they could think of for help before their first extended rest. In a way, it was a bit...

That looks awesome. I wish there was a 4E variant.

Back at it in the new year! Pure RP tonight. First, the PCs decided to call on Nathan Jierre, hoping he might know something about Distant Madness. Unfortunately, he didn't, but he reminded them of a few things they'd forgotten -- the "blue sun" events on Axis Island, and he and Bela talked...

Feat bloat is a significant problem, especially at higher tiers. There are way too many feats, and too many of them are fiddly situational minor bonuses.

I'm a serious gamer by the OP's measure. I run and play in all 4E games currently, be it virtual tabletop, play by post, or the live tabletop WotBS game I started running that's been on hiatus for a while. I grew up on gold box basic and then later 2E AD&D, and although I did play in d20/3.x...

Had another session on Wednesday. The constables sent a runner to Nevard's henge to make contact with Pazumu the orc shaman and ask if she or anyone else there could help with Vesta's distant madness. Then they took Kaja back to HQ and locked her up. Since my players tend to act like adventurers...

Nice to see you back. :) Even with your breaks and buffer adventures, you guys have run way ahead of us.

Sent. :)

I'd love it if you'd post your update here. My WotBS game has also stopped for about 6 months, and I'm not sure if it's going to resume -- one of the players is in the game with one of her kids, and is currently in a custody battle with her ex. It's a real shame, too, because it's the kid's...

Good session last night. We started where we left off, and I had Bela arrive with his transfer papers. The PCs weren't hard to find, since there was still quite a commotion at the Gun Alley Stage where the battle had taken place. They recognized Bela, although most of them didn't know him well...

Oh, the warlock has Dual Implement Spellcaster to make good use of having a gun-wand in each hand.

We had a short session a couple of weeks ago, and are going to continue tonight. The last session was basically just clean-up after the battle. The questions around Rock Rackus' stray bullet, the realization that Simon's staff triggered the conjuration, and that the staff is made of gold...

My Zeitgeist party is gaining a new addition early in Digging for Lies, and the player has made a star pact warlock gunsmith that looks like he'll be a lot of fun. I've allowed him to spend his 5th level gunsmith tinker perk on using his pistols as wand implements. The player says he likes the...

I'm very interested in doing something along these lines as well. I've been considering picking up Hero Lab so that I can modify the 4E file to suit my purposes. Incorporating what some of you guys are saying, I'd do something like this: Remove 1/2 level bonuses from initiative, attacks...

I'm not a big fan of fey in general -- it's just not an aspect of fantasy that appeals to me. I'm watching how you guys are using the Dreaming and other fey elements in your games, though, since I've got an eladrin Vekeshi Mystic in mine and want to make sure the player gets her fill of fey...

Sweet, thanks. :) I've only been able to glance through the book so far on my phone today, but I'm looking forward to digging into it this weekend.

You know, I've always thought pixies were kind of lame, but reading this and some of your other mentions of your pixie character have made them seem awesome.

I backed Admiral o' the High Seas to get zeppelins in it. But my players backed it to get me in it! They always seem to enjoy the sessions, but I'm actually pretty insecure about my live (and Google+ hangout) DMing -- I don't always do voices, nor do I always RP social stuff verbatim. I also...

Today I found out that the players in my Zeitgeist game pledged for the GM's Day reward on Admiral o' the High Seas, EN Publishing's new naval combat supplement that was funded by Kickstarter a while back. I am the captain of the zeppelin-hunter Serenity, a precocious officer, a crack shot, and...
