Zeitgeist Campaign Saga (1-20) by ENWorld

[Urizen]

I'm still on the fence on this one. I understand that the overall price point to subscribe works out well when comparing to a price per PDF ratio, but something of this overall magnitude would really want me to have seen a print available option. But that's me. :)

A shame really, because steampunk is a niche that entertains me. But I can rationalize the fiscal concerns to bring to fruition.

There will be individual print-on-demand options like we had for WotBS, but I don't really feel comfortable advertising them right here at Paizo.com where Paizo has its own store. Here at Paizo there won't be a subscription; just individual PDFs. Different stores vary in features and options they offer, so there will be a heap of choices of ways to get it in different payment models, formats, and so on.

I must've missed the print-on-demand option context. Do you have a direct link to the different payment models at EN World? Sorry for my confusion. =)

EDIT: Now if I could make subscription payments in installments, that would be excellent. I've done that before with Rite Publishing and it worked out well when my current fiscal situation doesn't always allow me to throw out one lump sum.

Is there any update on release date for this? I see a lot of 4E previews on EN World, but not much int he way of Pathfinder. Looks cool, but I'd like to see some previews with Pathfinder mechanics if possible.

Yeah, the previews were just something I personally put together when I had some spare time, but I'm not actually a Pathfinder expert and I didn't want to pull the actual staff away from the more important work of getting this all released.

I realised that by the time I'd done them, the actual (free) Player's Guide containing everything in the previews will be available. It's in layout as we speak, and is imminent.

The subscription at EN World is in installments by definition. Paizo.com doesn't offer us that option, unfortunately, but if they ever do we'll do the same here.

[Russell Morrissey]

For those still following this - the Player's Guide will be released tomorrow (Saturday).

[Russell Morrissey]

I promise to stop spamming this thread after this post!

The free Player's Guide has been uploaded to Paizo and is awaiting approval. If you can't wait that long, it can also be downloaded from the ZEITGEIST website over at EN World.

[Shisumo]

The individual PDFs will be $4.99, did I understand that right?

No, that's the price of the pre-order subscription reduced price divided by 12. The price will be higher than the WotBS adventures because we're spending a lot more on this AP.

[Volaran]

I'm really liking the format of the player's guide.

I'll look forward to running this for my players at some point, though remembering some of the WotBS delays, I may wait until adventure 6 or so is out before I start ;)

Well done Russell and Ryan!

Out of curiosity, can you share who is doing the Pathfinder version as of yet? I remember you folks soliciting for authors a few months ago for the Pathfinder version, but I don't think I've seen any announcements.

Thurston Hillman.

[Volaran]

Now that is good to hear. I'll be looking forward to it.

[RangerWickett]

Glad you like it. We're about 2 weeks from releasing the first adventure. Between now and then is the Campaign Guide, which should give people a lot more to talk about. I'm eager to hear what people think about the overall plot.

And please, if you do come across any inconsistencies in the PF rules, it would be a great help if you could let us know.

[Qualidar]

The campaign guide looks great. I think I could really dig my teeth into this AP. Very cool concept.

[Russell Morrissey]

The free Campaign Guide has now been uploaded to Paizo.com, and should be available once Paizo staff process it.

Unlike the Player's Guide last week, this is for GMs ONLY! It contains the entire plot of the adventure path, and details on antagonists and power groups that players should not know about at the start of the adventure path. So, seriously, do NOT download it if you're going to play the adventure path - only download it if you're going to RUN the adventure path.

I really enjoyed what I saw in both the Player's and Campaign guide. Then again, I signed up as a subscriber because of the previews of both this and Santiago.

However, with the different religious set up, I did not see Domains for clerics. Will those be offered/suggested somewhere in the future?

thanks!

No; we always steer clear of prescribing the gods and associated paraphernalia, preferring to allow the GM to make that decision. The gods aren't plot relevant, so we don't see any advantage in deciding non-plot-relevant details for you when you may well have your own preferences, favourite pantheon, or so on.

Oh my gawd it's almost here!!!

Thanks. I'll learn how to do that! I miss WYSIWYG messageboard editors! :D

That's 1. Anyone else? Anyone know if there is an open license for this?

Sadly, one of my players would jump at the chance to play this. She has like 200 My Little Ponies. It's scary.

I actually added them to my campaign world just for her, and though I call them "Prismatic Ponies," they do have the Pony Power Rainbow Blast (i.e. color spray).

Be nice to me or I'll post statistics.

Looks really good Russell. The art and feel of the setting, as can be seen in the campaign guide, is fantastic- lots of depth to it. You guys deserve a pint of beer or two for the fantasitic work. If ever in nyc, drop me a note.

Sweet you should do a 3pp parody product with their stats. Would likely have to do it for free for legal reasons though.

I think I'd rather not go down in history as the guy who added My Little Pony to D&D. ;)

[DM_aka_Dudemeister]

I'd do it. Friendship is magic!

[Kevin Cannell]

So after months of waiting, the stars have finally aligned for me to run this game (sorry, that's the skyseer coming out in me :D)!

The party is making characters today, and so far they're planning on:

Goblin Gunslinger (Gun Tank)
Some flavor of Oracle
A Magus (Skirnir)
Elf Witch

I know the RHC recruits far and wide for the best talent, but uh. . . this should be "interesting!"
