ADVENTURE ONE - CHAPTER TWO: THREE TOWERS We open on a sea in a raging storm. As the camera pans around, we see from every side, waves of black-blue water crashing all around you, until finally it stops as the face of an ancient orc comes into frame, darkly scarred green skin, clouded, misty...

Like the title says! If not, would there be any interest in creating one? Honestly, I'm just always dying to talk about this adventure with people who know about it.

I never knew those existed! Thanks for pointing those out. I did eventually start putting up important NPC portraits for them in the Journal section of Foundry (the VTT we've been playing on), which I think has helped considerably.

ADVENTURE ONE - CHAPTER ONE: RNS COALTONGUE I want you guys to close your eyes and imagine this scene. We open on a sea in a raging storm. From every side are waves of black-blue water crashing all around you, no land in sight. Suddenly, you hear a slight metallic hum, as a shimmering blue...

THE PROTAGONISTS Gambit O'Hara Gambit is a recent immigrant from Crisillyir, along with his uncle, Morgan O'Hara. He's a martial scientist, and a halfling psionic rogue. He has a lot of reservations about his crime family background, which is why he struggled so mightily to get himself and his...

HOMEBREW SYSTEM: DOWNTIME PHASE Before I get going with the recap, I have a couple homebrew systems for downtime that I've incorporated into Zeitgeist that I'll explain here. Hopefully, if someone is looking to get started in Zeitgeist and are interested in adding to what players can do for...

Hello all, my name is Ash, I made a thread a few months ago asking some questions (ZEITGEIST - Just starting Zeitgeist: Need some advice on player's factions) and I also put some details about how our group's sessions had gone up to that point (just to the beginning of Book 2). Well, I'm happy...

Okay got it, thank you! I'll save it for the end of the book then. My pitiful words will have to do the trick till then :P

Hello, I had a quick question. Is the cover art for Book 3 (i.e. https://cdn.paizo.com/image/product/catalog/ENW/ENWZG03E_500.jpeg) an illustration of how the false seal room looks in the ziggurat? If not, would it be okay to still show players that to give them an idea of how the false seal...

Hello folks, my group has just finished Book 2! But I wanted to run a short 2-3 session side mission for the secondary squad (my players all recently made back-ups, and I wanted to flesh them out as a "B-Team" in the RHC). I was thinking it'd be fun for them to experience the Dreaming...

In the interest of time/efficiency, I'm going to post edited versions of the notes one of my players takes for this recap. I'll be adding my own commentary in bold throughout. I'm very sorry if it's too long/hard to understand at parts, just had no time to write up own recap this week. the...

Man, that is so COOL, yeah I think I'm going to follow your advice exactly! I'll probably foreshadow, no pun intended, by having Delft report to the crew that Asrabey's body was reported missing shortly after transport on the ship that was carrying it away from Axis Island. Overall, this issue...

Jeez, he has a way more prominent role throughout the adventure than I thought! I should've dealt with this differently I think, just ruled he was unconscious, but I don't want to retcon too much. I think I'm going to go with your idea of shadow-Asrabay being a bit more humble/weaker, and...

In the future, I am definitely going to emphasize that. But by the system, ranged attacks aren't possible to elect to do non-lethal damage and I initially wanted to stick by this; but maybe I can hand-wave this? I do think that I'm going to rule that a shadow-y version of Asrabey falls into the...

Sessions 6, 7 & 8: From where they last left off, the players found a Danoran engineer at the encampment, who agreed to accompany them to the fortress to help them infiltrate. During the dawn of the next day, I had the leaking golem encounter (thanks for that art @arkwright!). They were...

They are very weirded out, and are constantly making sure they have iron and gold on them to avoid more of the 'planar fluctuations' I described. They haven't met the leaking golem yet, that should be today's session actually. Oh man, I can't believe I have to admit to the man who wrote this...

Thank you, that's very helpful! My current plans are shifting around a lot, I'm still unsure how to treat my Deva player. I think what I'm going to start settling on is that he was the bethroed of Dala, Kasvarina's daughter, and died in the aftermath of her death in the form of Srasama's...

I like to throw in an 'opening cutscene' when I open a session every now and then, like the cold open of a TV show. I opened the campaign with a scene that described an orc appearing through a portal in the middle of a sea in a raging storm and doing some cool magic. This is Toteth, and in later...

Thought I'd update you all on how it's going. Firstly, I'd like to introduce the constables of C-Squad of the RHC. I made some ID badges for each of them, so I'll throw those in too. First we have a warforged Artificer Technologist, named Archaic Intelligence Guardian, or AIG for short. He was...

Thanks so much for the advice! Man the fact that I have to dive into Kasvarinas time line to account for a moment that will probably only happen in like 2 years if we keep playing this, is why I have always been so excited about this campaign. It just feels so dense! I will basically follow...
