ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist Newspapers

Short answer: no, I have not made another paper.

Long answer: I packed up and moved to Europe over the summer, and I still haven't figured out a good virtual solution for continuing the game, mostly due to the 6-hour time difference.

Sorry to hear your campaign hasn't continued. I did make another newspaper. I even convinced some of my players to write articles based on their adventures. Because my campaign is set in Aundair in the Eberron world I did change some names to make them more Aundairian. Nina Simone, Oxton Halderan, Mika d'Ghallanda and Seagull are player characters.
As a non-native english speaker I hope the newspaper is not too riddled with grammar errors. One of the more difficult words to think of was how residents of Passage would be called. I now chose Passageans, but maybe Passagites would be better. Flinters is a lot easier.

So if anyone is interested, the latest version of the newspaper is attached.

We've recently had our first full session using a VTT (Foundry), and it went well enough that I'll be back in the newspaper game soon.

Alright, spit out a third one. The type is a bit tight on the illustration, but it was a rush job. Somewhere between Georgia (the state) and Germany, or between my old rig and new, I've misplaced by running notes on details to throw in the paper. This one doesn't bite near as deep, but now I get to/have to re-read the whole adventure path, so I got that going for me.

Another stunning edition of The Flint Tribune (truly printed with authority). Glad to hear you're game is up and running again.

@Meigeall , thanks for doing these. I used the first one before Adventure 1. Do you have a link to the version of issue #2, that you mentioned in post #10, in which the Duchess article is formatted in two columns? The link in post #6 links to the original split-line version.

Still have the .indd files, so here's a quick export before I head to work: LINK

@Meigeall , is your campaign still running? Have you made a newspaper for the 4th adventure? Your newspapers are a great inspiration for mine, so would love to read yours.

Unfortunately no. Foundry was working well enough, but the half of the group in the States drifted away. I still stop by here regularly to keep up with things. I still hope to run through the whole adventure path at some point.

That's a shame, hope you'll find a new group to DM the adventure for. It's hard to keep a group with each other for such a monstrous adventure path. I'll show my newspaper when it's written. Maybe you could give some tips, what you would add to preview encounters in the coming adventure?
