I actually don't think so. In the cases where I could probably have dropped a PC with relative ease, the NPCs in question had strong RP reasons to prioritize other actions. The Duchess dove out her window rather than blasting my Vekeshi Mystic player, the saboteurs focused on trying to blow up...

:w: I'm currently running Zeitgeist for non-local friends through MapTool and Google+ hangouts, but now some local friends have asked me to run a game for them. Given their interest in heroic fantasy specifically, I thought WotBS would be a good fit. I'm wondering about treasure, though. Would...

I might have dropped one of them once or twice, but no specific instances are coming to mind.

That takes the flavour away. Marius' wording is clear and concise. I'd tweak it ever so slightly: Level 5: Courage Under Fire. Once per day, when an ally becomes bloodied, you may gain an action point.

Love 4E. When my Iron Heroes campaign wraps up in a few months, I'm looking forward to never having to run d20/3.5 again. 4E has spoiled me for systems that throw the DM to the wolves. I'm never going back.

I like the Spirit Medium one quite a bit. I think my Martial Scientist will like hers, too. One thing about the Yerasol Veteran ones -- they're both situational. A lot of the other themes have bonuses that are either constant or readily usable in most encounters. Yerasol Veterans only get...

The homebrew setting I've been working on pilfers liberally from the work of others, so it wouldn't qualify, but I'll share it anyway. :) The Allabar entry in MM3 inspired me initially, so I took that concept and applied it to the premise of the 3.5 setting Midnight, which is like Middle-Earth...

Yep, I've been doing this too.

We haven't been able to get another session since that last one, because Murdok's player moved in with and got married to Reginald's player, and started a new job on top of it! So at least it's happy events that have kept us from playing. We're hoping to have our second Dying Skyseer session...

A monocle! Awesome.

I don't have any immediate ideas for higher-level theme perks, but I'm about to resolve my Spirit Medium's Speak with Spirit power for the first time, and was wondering whether you meant the DC to increase with player level, or target level? It isn't clear from the rules text in the Player's...

Cool, thanks. That's really helpful for me. :) I think it's awesome that we can interact with you guys here and get this kind of info so quickly. It's a huge boon. Thanks a lot for being so available!

Sweet! I have plenty of time to peruse it in time for next week's session. I already have one quick question, RangerWickett: Does the Cloudwood Switchback encounter have any plot links to the rest of the adventure, or is it just there to give the area a dangerous feel?

SPOILERS FOR THE DYING SKYSEER (Just in case players read these.) Today, we started The Dying Skyseer! Yesterday, I had a private email conversation with Vesta's player about the secret Vekeshi Mystic gathering. Vesta attended the gathering and accepted the task of delivering a magical mirror...

Cool, thanks! I knew my PCs would be curious about what (if anything) was done with Asrabey. :) We had our first Dying Skyseer session today! I'll be updating my campaign log.

I've been reading through the prerelease Dying Skyseer text in preparation for our Zeitgeist session today, and one thing I've noticed is that there's little to no mention of the events of Island at the Axis of the World. Some of the events were things that would have repercussions -- Asrabey...

Awesome. :D

Definitely still like the concept, and I know my players would appreciate it -- especially if it could be tweaked to reflect the specifics of their story. Edit: I might try to find some time this week to do one of my own, since some of the PCs agreed to give interviews after the Coaltongue...

Sweet, thanks. This will help me get ready for next weekend's session. :)

I ran Asrabey with the level 20 stats. I kept the duchess and the golem at level 15, and the golem actually ended up making an attack roll. So I wanted to be consistent; there are powerful forces at work in Zeitgeist and if you run afoul of them then you face the brunt of their might. I also...
