In Risur, what is considered the proper/traditional way to pay final respects to a dead body? I don't see any mention of graveyards or crypts, so I'm guessing it's not burials. Do they cremate? Ritualistically feed the body to some sacred animal? I'm looking to include a funeral (for an...

My ZG campaign has been on hiatus since the pandemic began. We were just about to start adv7, which we really want to be back in person for. So how do we keepalive interest in the campaign and setting during the long break? Wacky side adventures! As you are probably aware, there have been...

Do planet's influence other planets? I had thought that the planets only influence earth. However, in another thread, Ranger Wickett dropped this anecdote from an upcoming book, specifically a writeup of Jiese: That's a reference to Urim's gold-blocks-teleport power. I struggle to make...

There's 7-or-more planetary-linked Ziggurats scattered across the face of Lanjyr, and between the party and key NPCs like Rackus and Kasavarina, most of them get visited in the course of the game. What's on "the other side" of them? I'm enamored with Jiese, because it's the reason why...

It is official history of both Ber and Risur that all the dragons are dead. Windrova of Seobriga was the last to fall. Ber has whole ministries dedicated to cataloging dragon-activity, and making sure that all dragon elements are accounted for. It's a paramount point of pride and of national...

Are there statistics for the Pemberbots anywhere? In adv6, when Pemberton sells the Steam Crew, they are intended to be activated into his personal robocops as part of his coup. My PCs just reprogrammed one, and want to use it. Any stats to work with? Or should I just make something up...

I'm slowly moving through adv6: the Great Berian Adventure through the power of roll20. We ended last session as prisoner-guests of the Bruse, specifically right after Lya Jierre's somewhat awkward night-time visit. What is it that she can offer to the party? Yes, she wants them to...

So, last week, we had the throwdown inside the heart of the Bleak Gate facility. Party went in with Asrabey and Grappa, and used the vents to go through the VIP suites (and thus collect Oddcog's toys, and Kasavarina herself) before going into the main fight. The gunsmith (theme PrC using PF...

Just a little AAR from session this past week. Light spoilers follow. Some backstory: Team B had led a raid of Casa de Kell. They ultimately prevailed, but during the fracas, one of the police-officers-that-was-actually-a-Kell-mole decided to take the opportunity to collapse a support beam on...

Can someone share the 4e stats for Gale in adv 5? I only have the PF version of the adventure, and in that adventure she's just a level 9 sorcerer, with some control winds ability. However, in the story: "he imbued her with a sliver of the power of summer, giving her destructive weather magic...

Wish me luck! After a 3 year hiatus, I'm jumping back into Zeitgeist. Or, I'm at least going to play the Bonds of Forced Faith oneshot tonight. (Or, twoshot, as my group can be kinda slow, and we only have 3 hours, so I figure it'll take two weeks.) Anyway, my group is a mix of folks who had...

I have a question on the expected resource-management load in the endgame: The last time the party has true downtime is near the beginning of adv12, after they get a letter from Rackus, when they are getting ready to send their airship into the void. So we'll assume the party is fully-rested...

This morning, my wife opened the door and shouted into the house "who is Ryan Nock?" which struck me as an odd NYE question. Turns out the hardcovers were shipped "To" the director of the AP, but at my address. My name wasn't actually on the package anywhere; it was as if Ryan lived at my...

Having trouble figuring out what to do with this one. One of my PCs is a taciturn Lawful Good "keep your head down and do your job" kinda guy. Dwarf Eschatologist to boot. He takes loyalty to Delft and Saxby very seriously, and often plays the straight man to my other PCs' more colorful ideas...

Got myself into an interesting situation right at the end of Adventure 2: The Dying Skyseer. Looking for a satisfying way to end the adventure, and not miss out on too much of the awesome. They've completed basically everything but the Climax. They finished out Smuggler's Night, rescued the...

Regarding the wand-smuggling-plot in Book 2: Nilasa was going to pay the Grinning Griffon 10,000 gp in cash, and a whole lot more in paper-money. On the night of the 4th, I'm assuming everything is already loaded up and ready to go, with the money onboard the Silvo. But my PCs as pushing hard...

If I wanted to seed some special writings of you-know-who into the Crypta Hereticarum, what would be appropriate to reveal to the players there? It seems weird to me that the greatest heretic the Clergy has never known wouldn't have something show up in there. I know the Crypt was abandoned...

Hi esteemed authors, Is there any update on the Kickstarter items Vagabond of the Mirror Moon or Case Files of the RHC? I recognize that they'll probably still in raw development, but if you could share a bit of what you got, like you did with Bonds of Forced Faith, that would be awesome. My...

I'm a little confused about the events of the Great Malice. Or rather, the locations involved. In the Player's Guide, as well as the Vekeshi handout, it states clearly that Srasama was killed at the walls of Alais Primos. This event is described as a great catastrophe, so great that all who...

Can someone help illuminate what's up with the blue sun occasionally seen on Axis Island? There's at least three planar fluctuations that are scripted to occur, and they all involve yellow frogs and the blue sun. It's clear Axis isn't randomly linking to lots of other places, but this place in...
