Steam and soot darken the skies above the city of Flint, and winds sweeping across its majestic harbor blow the choking products of industrial forges into the fey rainforests that dot its knife-toothed mountains. Since the earliest ages when the people of Risur founded this city, they feared the capricious beings that hid in those fog-shrouded peaks, but now as the march of progress and the demands of national defense turn Flint into a garden for artifice and technology, the old faiths and rituals that kept the lurkers of the woods at bay are being abandoned.
The Unseen Court, the Great Hunt, and the many spirits of the land long ago conquered by Risur’s kings no longer receive tribute, but they cannot enter these new cities of steam and steel to demand their tithe. The impoverished workers who huddle in factory slums fear monsters of a different breed, shadowy children of this new urban labyrinth. Even their modern religions have no defenses against these fiends.
Times are turning. The skyseers – Risurs folk prophets since their homeland’s birth – witness omens in the starry wheels of heaven, and they warn that a new age is nigh. But what they cannot foresee, hidden beyond the steam and soot of the night sky, is the face of this coming era, the spirit of the age. The zeitgeist.
FG License: Full, players require at least a lite license.
Game System: D&D 4e.
Time Zone: GMT
Day of week and time: Sunday. Time 7:30 PM GMT(UTC) (3:30 PM Eastern) (The time is Flexible)
Planned Frequency: Weekly, 3-4 hours each session (Most sessions will run for 3 hours, however it might occasionally run past that)
Term: Long term, full level 1-30, would like players who would be in the game for the long haul.
Text or Voice: Text Only
Number of Players in game & needed: Currently have 2 players and I need 3 more.
Character starting level & equipment: Characters start at level 1
Character restrictions: Core books only, no essentials. Character creation will be done together as a party to encourage party cohesion.
In this campaign, you will be a part of an organisation that is responsible for policing the city of Flint and other areas, this is called the Royal Homeland Constabulary (RHC). This game is both role-play and combat heavy, however there will be sessions that are roleplay only (And maybe even some that are combat only) so if you don't like role-playing, then this may not be for you. Having said that, I would prefer playings who enjoy role-playing to their fullest, even during combat scenarios. This campaign is Text only as I feel it improves role-playing.
This game isn't typical fantasy and is sent in a steampunk world with firearms and technology although it does include all the typical 4e fantasy elements like spells and rituals as well.
Another thing, there are unique themes in Zeitgiest and you must choose a theme from the Zeitgeist player's guide, this is to improve roleplaying and story encounters as they give unique events and abilities to the story.
Character creation will be done together on our first session (Which I hope to be the first Sunday after gathering a full roster of 5 players), this is so that the party will work well together and flow nicely as you are all part of the same unit and have been brought together by the RHC to work together. This is also so that you can get to know each others character, as at the time of starting, you would have already worked together on a few assignments before hand. As previously stated I currently have 2 players and am looking for 3 more, one of those 2 players will be looking to play a striker (Ranger). Please let me know when posting your interest what role you wish to play so that we can get at least one of each role.
