ZEITGEIST #4: Always on Time (4E)

[Morrus]

It's been a bit of a wait, but the 4E version of ZEITGEIST #4: Always on Time is finally here! A fantastic investigative adventure set on a week-long train journey as the heroes race against time to identify the bad guy, this adventure is available to EN World Silver Subscribers. The Pathfinder RPG version is coming very soon.

The famous Avery Coast Railroad thunders along its week-long journey through the grandest cities of civilization. Among its roster of international passengers travel stowaways and scoundrels, slavers and spies - and one shadowy figure, bearing an invention that will illuminate the world and cast it into darkness.

Riding undercover, agents from Risur have one week until this invention falls into the hands of a sinister conspiracy. Before then, they must suss out who they can trust, and who's out to stop them. But on a train full of liars, will they be able to solve the mystery in time?

A fantasy adventure for motivated heroes of levels 8-9.

And the Pathfinder conversion text was submitted yesterday, so it should just be some minor edits and layout for that version!

Always on time, how ironic!

Thanks for this.

Oh the text says Zeitgeist #3 not #4 [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION]

[Colmarr]

Yay.

Double yay for posting the maps!

Quadruple yay for the Battle of Colmarr's Folly!!

 

[gideonpepys]

Fantastic stuff. Better 'Always on Time' than never, that's what I say.

 

[RangerWickett]

Yeah, just, y'know, 2 months overdue. I joked with the rest of the E.N. Publishing folks that we should try releasing an adventure called "Will Never Make Any Money" to see if irony strikes twice.

Yes, everyone check out the acknowledgements section. We've got several elements in this adventure inspired by or named after some of our Admiral o' the High Seas sponsors. So if you die on the island of Odiem, you can blame OnlineDM!

 

[Falkus]

Just finished perusing it; very nicely done. I'm looking forward to running it!

 

[mort655]

I almost want to skip over the rest of Digging for Lies just so I can jump right into this one.

 

[Tukka]

Looks great. I love the cast of characters.

I've noticed a few minor errors. Probably the biggest one is the fact that the heading on each page reads "Digging for Lies" instead of "Always on Time."

Worth a try!

 

[Sedric the Hero]

umm shouldn't the title of this discussion have'SPOILERS' in it...because it does cover a few pages of an adventure I'd rather not have my players read..and at least one of my players does regularly check out the forums here..

 

[Ajar]

The cover image for this one was my favourite of all of the Zeitgeist preview images. We haven't started Digging for Lies yet, but I'm really looking forward to Always on Time.

Are there any plans to collect the adventures in a compilation book once all 13 adventures have been released? If so, will this happen for both versions (4e and Pathfinder RPG)?

Apologies if this information is already available somewhere. I couldn't find anything to answer my question.

No, we don't plan to do that. Tried it with WotBS and it didn't work out too well for us.

 

[I'm A Banana]

I'm thinkin' of doing a freebie one-off as my way of apologizing for my role in the thing's tardiness.

And just a word of advice to any writers: if your life circumstances force you to move to a new state at about the same time that you're supposed to be writing, you're not going to hit your first deadline.

BUT, I gotta say, the TLC devoted to this absolutely shows. So subscribe, play, and enjoy the deepening mystery and heightened intrigue!

 

[RangerWickett]

No, we don't plan to do that. Tried it with WotBS and it didn't work out too well for us.

Also, these adventures are bigger. If we did, like, one book per tier (1-5, 6-9, 10-13), they'd probably end up being 400 pages long apiece.

I kinda want one, though. If you can pick up a color POD of the adventure, do so. It's glorious.

Also, KM, you gave us a great baseline to apply the TLC to.

 

[Ravenmantle]

No, we don't plan to do that. Tried it with WotBS and it didn't work out too well for us.

Fair enough. I'll go for the Print on Demand copies then.

Thanks for the reply.

An updated version will be up tomorrow.
