Of course you're right (and at the time, I even said "don't try to codebreak that, it's not a valid ob code"), but I was very surprised to see that the inscription Oathkeeper Bree's Sword got changed to Oathkeeper Bree's Shield in the 5e reprint. I guess it was decided that Bree was too low to...

Aw shucks, my playerbase bought me an "Obscurati" ring as a campaign and writeup completion gift. It's a tungsten ring with a stripe of sparkling star-like glitter all the way around, with an Ob Code inside. While I had mentioned that my character's inscription would have been "Our Beloved...

Well, it's actually a reference to this - but your example seems way funnier, so I'll take it! Haha, I don't remember if I wrote all of this out, but the full story ended up being pretty funny: the future King pretended to become best buddies with Dabo, Damata's 13-year-old daughter, to try...

Adventure 11, Avatar of Revolution: God Answers Prayers of Paralyzed Colosus After splitting into Gyre and Lanjyr duplicates, the Lanjyr party manifested back in Flint instead of the Ziggurat of Av, because everyone who was supposed to be present for the big Avatar of Revolution opener -...

Sorry I missed these posts, and Happy New Year! (I don't expect anyone to be viewing this thread on New Years Holiday, but have a great new year anyway, aha). I keep forgetting that I only get email notifcations for the first reply, unless I go back to the thread and check manually... I polled...

Well, it's about time for another update, isn't it? Steph: World, what did the forums think of the speech Cleone gave to the Danoran citizenry hivemind at the Forward Symposium? Me: Steph: The speech Cleone gave to inspire true democracy in Danor. Me: [sweating] Steph: Because that was the...

Ugh, I really wish I wasn't stuck in paper-writing hell so I could come back here and stir the pot a little more, and respond to the delightful comments I get in this thread. I really, really appreciate them! Yesssss, this is such an astute read of our party. As someone who understands well...

Hello again! I didn't get cooked and eaten alive by my players for not posting for a couple months, because… WE JUST COMPLETED THE BATTLE AT THE AXIS SEAL, BABY!🎉 Which means I have to post even faster, because my players want to get on here. And besides, don’t you want to know what ending...

I'm sorry I don't respond to each comment individually - grad school is being grad school - but I appreciate everyone sharing their responses so, so much. I am blasting you with gratitude beams from somewhere in Canada. Adventure 8, Godmind, Part 1: **** Everything, Nation Reports The one...

Sorry this is so late - That BoFF anecdote absolutely rules. BoFF is such an amazing oneshot and produces so many great stories. I'm curious to know how you manage to finish everything in one convention slot, though - both times I've run it, they've taken between 9 to 12 hours! Maybe it's...

Hello again, everyone! It's almost been a year since my last post, oops. We're still going strong; partway through The Grinding Gears of Heaven, and I STILL haven't finished The Last Starry Sky write-up. Oof. In my defense, I got married, finished my PhD courses, and have been studying for my...

Thank you so much for your answers, everyone! About Book 4: Funnily enough, when I asked Mona's player (uh, my fiancee, whom I live with) which adventure she liked best, she immediately answered "not Always on Time!" I asked her why, and she told me she felt like she was under intense stress...

Well, I guess I did indeed make up Price-Hill being in the "You and your friends" section of Act 3. Oh well. I'll come up with something that's meaningfully different from Aodhan's Fighter and Amielle's Gunslinger. Also, Diaspora complete! Wait, did we finish Schism in FEBRUARY?! It feels like...

I meant to respond to this right after you posted it, and then I got caught up with work. So, sorry for the super late response! Please know that I read the first line of this quote to my players mid-game and everybody cheered. Making Catherine a twin was one heck of a coincidence. And yes...

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your well-wishes, and appreciate that you read my silly little write-ups. I’m back early! My players started bribing me with rewards if I post the adventure write-ups on time instead of five months after they happen. Usually my reward is DM-mandated group...

I agree about the portrait similarities! What finally tipped me off was the I wonder how many tiny details are buried like that...

I skimmed it once and am doing a deep read now, but great stuff so far. It really fleshes out the world! A great companion to the original. I'm sad the hardcover book doesn't ship to Canada (but also, fair; I paid $160 in shipping and handling fees to ship a small package from the US recently...

Yes, that's the one! And dang, that's really cool!!! I was very pleased by the parallel (and the whole section in general! How unique for a tabletop game) - I would have kept the guinea worm analogue normally :) Thank you! Wow... I can't say I was expecting Ashima Shimtu! I told my fiancee and...

Hello! Over one year of Zeitgeist and still going strong!!! We just finished Adventure 7, so that means I should probably get around to the Adventure 6 write-up. Fortunately, one of my players was a former court-reporter, so I can just re-visit the transcripts, hah. I was putting it off doing my...

Hahaha, thanks! One of my players, Becky, drew it. She tried to imitate the Zeitgeist portraits and then added a bit of her own style. She based her off of Marion Cotillard, since the Zeitgeist portraits use famous actors as inspiration. When I saw it, I took out my copy of Zeitgeist: Death of...
