Are we going to see a new thread for this? If we're choosing Zeitgeist over Throne of Night and/or Burning Sky, it might be better to have its own title.
Plus, I really do prefer it when we have the Character Creation rules on the first post!

I may have gotten a little carried away last night and written a good chunk of the recruitment, so it doesn't look like people are going to have to wait a week or two on that. I should have the official recruitment thread up by sometime this weekend if all goes well.
@Fury of the Tempest: Oh yes, that should go without saying. I did the same thing with my Coliseum Morpheuon interest check and official recruitment as well.
Sounds great. But now I have to go. My muse has set up an interview between my character and Inspector Delft. Hopefully a name will come before I'm done.
It’s quite interesting. The dwarves, especially. They are far more morally gray than what is usually shown.
I definitely get the feeling that we are going to be immersed in all of the cool stuff from the player's guide. I definitely think that people should try to find a few hooks that draw their characters into this world.
I'm about halfway finished with the recruitment, so it's looking more and more likely that it's going to be either tomorrow or Saturday when the thread goes live as opposed to Sunday.
@pad300: Thanks for linking the player's guide! I was going to wait until the recruitment goes live, but now people can go ahead and start thinking up some character ideas.
@Grumbaki: Oh yes, and it's not just dwarves either. It feels nice not having everything clearly keyed with black-or-white morality, as it allows individual choices and ideals to shine through and feel like they have real substance.
@Philo Pharynx: Most definitely! The AP itself provides a nice vertical slice of the setting and allows PCs to visit every nation, meet NPCs of every race, interact with every major umbrella religion or philosophy, and even jaunt to a few of the planes as well. It's a masterpiece in that regard, as I can't think of a single AP other than EN Publishing's other amazing AP, War of the Burning Sky, that manages to pull off such a feat and have it feel organic. So yeah, no matter what parts of the setting that players incorporate into their background, it's most certainly something that will have some relevance, and I encourage people to dig into the setting as much as they want, seeing as how it's 100% free in the player's guide.

Jumpscare update time! I'm roughly 4/5 of the way done with the recruitment, so expect something either late tonight or sometime tomorrow afternoon, EST. The section on miscellaneous setting stuff and gods took a while to transcribe, which is the only reason I haven't finished the recruitment yet. Still, good progress is good progress and I figured that I'd let everyone know before I head out for Friday Night Magic with some friends of mine.
I’m looking forward to it. I have the bare bones of a build written down and am waiting to see what the actual rules will be.
Me also. :) Fortunately, I'm just about to leave to drive to the theater for another performance of my current show, and I have two more performances tomorrow, so I won't be tempted to keep refreshing the Recruitments page. ;)
The recruitment is officially live!
