Just ran the encounter with Ekossigan. The party loved the encounter. I'll post a recap in the next week. I'm posting now because Lisandra's player painted Ekossigan in response to the prompt "bark". You can follow her work at: Cthonic Muse (@cthonicmuse) • Instagram photos and videos <---...

Yeah, I did heed your warning and tuned her down. I didn't chain her lightning blast out of fear she would evaporate the party's oracle-rogue and wizard-investigator. Often my group has the opposite problem, where everyone waits a long time before speaking (to ensure they do not speak over...

Text roleplay between sessions The combined work of Angharad's, Ella's, and Lisandra's players Here is an excerpt of the text roleplay of Team BAD this week: _________________________________________ Angharad's eyes linger on Ella as they come to a stop. He takes a deep breath and lets it out...

Sessions 47 and 48 Courtesy of me The party defeated Gale in combat. It was hard. I took Andrew Moreton's Gale build (as a kineticist) and gestalted it with the sorcerer build from the book. Angharad took a composite blast that would have spelled permadeath for any other member of the party...

Session 46 Courtesy of Ella's player The session began with Ella in rather a rush to inform Delft of the explosive plans we’d found and send word to the king. Delft agreed that it was very concerning but didn’t really have much to offer other than that. We sent word to the king via Sergeant...

Session 45 Courtesy of Angharad's player Team BAD met up in one of the satellite buildings of the RHC, along with team B, and Frank. Frank is potentially the royal tecnologist.. People say he is you know. And as the construct from the steel mill activates for the first time in our company, we...

Session 44 Courtesy of Ella's player (Sigh) Well, as if mid carriage drive shoot-outs, meetings with the king, and time-sensitive secret missions weren’t enough, now we had to deal with a representative from the Unseen Court. Namely: Asrabey Varal. A man who, previously, had almost killed most...

We kicked of 2021 as all years should start---with a new Zeitgeist book. Session 43 Courtesy of Lisandra's player Last session took off with a carriage arriving, housing both Hudsworth Hudgins, the cheer royal carriage driver, and a summons to meet with King Aodhan. The carriage ride was...

Interim sessions Three quarters of Team BAD were missing a quarter of their limbs. Ella's leg Whilst waiting for Delft to deliver Wolfgang, Ella had the neat idea of crafting herself a clockwork leg. A few rolls of dynamic crafting later, and Ella had an intelligent, magical leg that was...

Can players trade in multiple Task Force Tokens (TFTs) before a mission to increase the modifier to their roll? For example, using 2 TFTs for a +4 to the mission checks. Or can players just use a single TFT per mission? I'm playing in Pathfinder 1E, if that's relevant.

Session 42 (NB: John's player, and therefore John, was absent for most of this session). Unfortunately, I don't have a fully fleshed out recap for this one. Things went as expected. The party got to Vendricce early, so spent some time finding a cleric to heal Lisandra's negative levels. After...

Session 41 Courtesy of Ella's player (Sigh) ...Ghost train… Plane of death! …Serial killer… Less than 10 minutes to stay alive! …Sound familiar? It should! Because that’s how we started last week’s session: rocketing toward an early demise as our physical bodies were dragged ever further from...

Session 40 - Holy Glowing Arm Batman! Courtesy of Lisandra's player With grizzly rumours of ritual murder and shocking nightmares pushed neatly aside, our undercover constables head to board their train headed to Sid Minos. The mood aboard was quite sombre and reclusive, with many passengers...

Session 39 Courtesy of Ella's player Another day, another criminal organisation to threaten or bribe… Emphasis on the threaten this time. We arrived at the Stoneforge ready for a fight: armed with magical totems from Damata and some stylish warpaint! Or… well Angharad and Damata had warpaint...

Session 38 Team BAD learned of Damata's sad tale. They agreed to help. Following the theater, Team BAD tracked a few suspects. The bloody and beaten Leory, who sulked in his room, ignoring Lisandra’s offer of medical care. Ella, who bore witness to a violent academic debate in Trekholm’s bar...

100% check out arkwright's Zeitvice. Beware including all the red herring NPCs. PCs may spend too many resources trying to investigate them. The book provides a description of each major stop, but also consider how the terrain changes between each stop. It can give a feel for each nation. If...

Session 37 Courtesy of Ella's player We all have moments in life when we pause to reflect on what exactly we're doing, and how the hell we wound up here. For Ella, the most recent of these was while running toward a giant screaming hydra with nothing but her claws and a bunch of prepared spells...

Session 36 The players didn't chuck Mister Mapple off the train, despite thinking he was a risk to the mission. There was more discussion to be had between the party and passenger, and between passengers themselves. Unlike the impression I got from the book, Luc and Ottavia would often leave...

It's melodramatic and self-indulgent. Sometimes I just crave a villain, and this was one of those times. I thought Lisandra and her player would enjoy having something so theatrical, and I think they both do.

Session 35 Courtesy of Lisandra's player Last session began at Keskay, as a new lot of passengers boarded the train, the most noticeable of which was Elanor Yanette, a rather lavish and intimidating woman, and her veiled companion, linked at the wrists in decorative gold cuffs. Also in tow was...
