[QUOTE="Tequila Sunrise, post: 7269570, member: 40398"] Currently I have no stable group. I moved across the country two years ago and I have quite a few gamer friends, and I'm hoping to get a stable FtF monthly game together. And/or a VTT game, depending on free time and how my FtF situation shakes out. Anyhow, based on what you and others have said I've gotten really stoked about Zeitgeist, and I think I can a group stoked about it! My own reasons for looking into APs is: 1) I'm hard-up for some TTRPG gaming, have played hardly anything in years, and 2) I want to see how the pros do APs. Earlier in the year I picked up Paizo's Rise of the Runelords AP, because I'm a fan of 'classic' fantasy and because Paizo has the most experience writing APs of any company I know of, and I was thinking I'd convert it to 4e. But I haven't, and I'm coming to grips with the fact that I won't -- at least not in the foreseeable future. So I asked after your two APs because I'd heard great things about them, and I'm looking to minimize prep work. From what you and others have told me, Zeitgeist does have the occasional rough patch -- all resulting from awkward PF --> 4e conversion -- but nothing I can't handle. Lol, well if the extra stuff becomes a problem I can always cut it out and make up the XP difference with mission/quest XP. Or just level everyone up to what each adventure expects, I suppose. :) I'm actually somewhat surprised that the 'level-up to adventure's expectation' variant hasn't made it as an official D&D variant, and that I've never heard of a published adventure which uses it. I'm sure that most pro writers feel a lot of pressure to keep to RAW though, even in cases where it creates a lot of extra work and doesn't necessarily make sense. ;) This all sounds great! I mentioned this to my wife, who will be a player and who refuses to watch Lost because of the very issue you point out -- which makes me sad because I love Lost until they start going sideways in time, but anyway -- and she was [I]very[/I] pleased. Anyhow, thanks for all your insight -- I'm really looking forward to Zeitgeist! [/QUOTE]
