But already, I'm being bombarded by questions that I just really have to make up on the fly or just say 'I'll get back to you.'  Things like what are the governments in each country like.  I just guessed that Crysillier was a theocracy, Ber was an absolute monarchy, Risur was a meritocrial monarchy, Danor was an aristocracy, and Drakr was a technocracy.  Of course that response led into a dozen other questions - ideologies, national colors/symbols, who's the most powerful person in each country, why aren't mages running the world, ect.  I didn't know who the leaders of Drakr or Crysillier were, and I still owe my group that answer.  I would really prefer it if those answers were revealed beforehand, like in the player's guide, not until a later Adventure when the group spends time in that country.  Also, the Clergy.  For such a powerful and influential organization in this AP, there's amazingly very little description about them.  I used the Pathfinder core deities and added Triegenes, but that got me a heck of a whole lot of questions about what was once Golarion specific stuff, how that translated into Zeitgiest.  I have too much going to do that.  And of course, I had two players interested in playing a cleric and a paladin, and they are both deep into Golarion lore, and just couldn't shake the Golarion specific stuff out of the pantheon, so they just went with a philosophical cleric that had nothing to do with the Clergy and ranger instead.  And speaking of religion - I can't quite understand this Court thing.  I get that it's some kind of Fey king or queen, I think.  And that Risuiri are scared of it.  There's been mention of named creatures from this Court sometimes called Archfey, sometimes called Titans, but are they gods?  Demi-gods?  Fey-gods?  Just how powerful are they.  What's the difference between an Archfey and a Titan?  But I would like to see what exactly the Court is, who's in it, what their purpose is, and why should we care?  And to answer the 'Theme' question - I think a Clergy specific theme would be extremely beneficial.  My cleric player noted a lack of that theme as well.I guess, my biggest gripe with Zeitgiest isn't any of the adventure stuff.  The adventure itself is amazing, books 1 - 5 so far....no complaints at all.  It's the lack of information on the world itself that leaves me constantly scrambling for answers I don't have and have no reference to look up and I don't have time to sit and figure this out on my own....hence why I'm running a pre-published adventure that I pay $9.99 per book for.  Theres some information about Srasama and Triegenes and the Yerasol Wars...kindof, but I feel like there's ALOT left out of each of those stories as well.  And that's what I hope is really shored up in this compilation. Granted, we may be well into Book 5 by the time something like this comes out, but oh well.....</blockquote>
