Interest Check: Zeitgeist Third Party AP


Recruitment


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I wanted to do an investigation AP for Pathfinder and did some research and this one came up in my findings and looks quite good.I want to see how much interest there is before I commit to the amount of reading that is going to be required to run this properly.

I will be running it theater of the mind, so no maps. I want emphasis on investigation and role play. There are many free supplements for this you can find here on Paizo just search Zeitgeist. Besides those supplements I will be allowing Pathfinder Core, The APG (No Summoners though), Some of the Advanced Class Guide (the Investigator for sure), Ultimate Intrigue, Some of the Occult Adventure stuff I might allow as long as it fits the theme. There are two races unique to the setting, and it looks like Tieflings are also in the setting so besides core races those will be the only ones allowed. Gnomes looke like they are rare if even in the setting so they might not be allowed or at least limited.

I think that is all for now if and when I get enough interest I will make a much more detailed and specific recruitment put up. If anyone is familar with this AP and has suggestions beyond what I have posted I am open to suggestions.


I own the first Book, but have not cracked it beyond looking at a few pictures. From reading Endzeitgeist reviews it is apparently saga-esque, and full of plots, counter plots and red-herrings. A fantastic and lengthy investigation.

I would dig a little theatre of the mind also. Love a fully and well realised setting. I generally play martial or divine 3/4 casters, but am very intrigued by Occultists and Psychics. Mostly Occultists though.

TL;DR - Interested!


I also have heard good things about it. Definitely interested.


Would be interested, any chance of Spheres of Might/Power being allowed? Third party AP sounds like the perfect place for a third party system.


I started playing the first book using the 4th edition rules, but I don't remember much of that game tbh. I would be interested in playing it however.


FYI , Paizo has the players guide here for free.

The settings very steampunky with trains and guns, big sail ships etc.

Joined a game halfway through the 2nd book but just couldn't get my head around what was going on....I'd love to start over from the beginning!


Thanks for the link.


I would be very interested. I've always been intrigued by this AP.


Oh nice looks like some interest ok. To answer Aipaca I will have to see what Spheres of Might/Power is and how it would enhance the setting. There is already a bit of changes from the AP itself so to incorperate more might be a chore. I will look at it and make a decision on that before I put up my recruitment. I will post a link for recruitment here then in about a week after I have done more reading. Thanks for the response.


This does look interesting. Thank you for the players guide link; nice and chewy.


Ok. Read the guide a few times. Plenty to go off of. Thanks!


Thanks for the consideration Viscount, I truly believe the system enhances the ability to realise character concepts, but I understand the difficulty of wrangling it into a setting.

I have played through Zeitgeist, and I'm running it for another group. I can say that this is the absolute best AP I have ever seen hands down. You should definitely look through the players guide, because they have woven lots of really important information in there and built an amazing world to play in.

The very first module feels incredibly cinematic. It's an amazing action movie. On top of that it is the best AP for covering the transition from ordinary heroes to amazing legends.

Do be ready for the long haul - it took us 5 years tabletop (playing every other week).

Thanks! WoW 5 years! I am doing the reading, expect a recruitment thread Monday night/Tuesday morning.


Sounds good, looking forward to it.

It is an amazing AP, I am running the Zeitgeist game on the threads and am in book 5 of 13. It is awesome and good luck!


Recruitment Thread I put up recruitment a bit early. I wanted to add information to the campaign tab, but I can't until recruitment is put up so here we go.


Thanks Viscount!
