[QUOTE="Matthan, post: 7268606, member: 20005"] Haven't ran either in 4e. I've only read WotBS completely and read portions of Zeitgeist. WotBS is a fantastic epic fantasy that hits the notes you want and expect from D&D. Each adventure usually has some great set pieces (fight in a hurricane, explore an ever burning forest, bring down a flying leviathan) and features an artifact that the party not only gets to quest after, but use and abuse to win the war. It's very much in the vein of Lord of the Rings or Dragonlance. It's traditional fantasy, but done exceptionally well. If you're players want bread and butter D&D, then I think it's an absolutely fantastic option. Zeitgeist is more complex. It has a lot of moving parts. It has a lot of NPCs and some dramatic upheavals in the world as the story progresses. It's more steampunk than traditional fantasy. It's a few steps away from traditional fantasy. If your group is looking for something a little different and challenging for their next campaign, it's a fantastic option. If you're doing 4e, the biggest concern is probably that it features a lot of player options that bring a lot to the adventure path. If you are using the character builder, you'll need to make some adjustments to address those new options. [/QUOTE]
