A STEP AWAY FROM TRADITIONAL FANTASY
For D&D 5th edition
The ZEITGEIST setting is a step away from traditional fantasy. In many parts of the world, day to day existence is much unchanged from how folks lived centuries ago. Fey trickery, prowling monsters, and roaming brigands pose as great a threat as ever. Priests and druids offer guidance, and it’s possible to live all one’s entire years without seeing a steam engine.
Yet though this is a land born from magic, a revolution of ironclad industry is reshaping nations. Railroads slice through the countryside, driving horrors from their wilderness lairs to new urban labyrinths. Heroes and scoundrels stroll smoggy streets in top hats and tails, battling with pistols or enchanted arcane fusils. Printing presses publish philosophical revolutions and conspiratorial ramblings, inspiring fresh frights to prowl the shadows between gas-lights under skies darkened by soot and steam.
Every nation is at an inflection point, every ideology is vying for influence, and your adventures will shape the spirit of the new age: the zeitgeist.
THE GEARS OF REVOLUTION is an adventure path for D&D 5th Edition, brought to you by the same people who created the critically-acclaimed War of the Burning Sky adventure path and featuring the same level of intriguing plot, memorable NPCs , and a strong, immersive storyline. Read more!
