About the adventure
Steam and soot choke the skies over Flint, where industry, magic, and old powers are colliding. As Risur’s proud harbor city races toward modernity, the traditions that once kept the wild and the supernatural at bay are being forgotten, and something in the darkness is taking notice. The poor huddle in factory slums, the powerful scheme behind closed doors, and unrest spreads through every district. Strange omens, hidden conspiracies, and rising tensions suggest that Flint is standing on the edge of something far greater than a local crisis: a revolution, a reckoning, or both. In Zeitgeist: Gears of Revolution, you will step into a city where every alliance matters and every choice can reshape the future. Uncover secrets, navigate danger, and decide what kind of age will rise from the smoke.

About me
Heyy! Awesome having you here. I've been GMing for 5 years now, and this hobby quickly turned into my passion. Before this, I did improv, and some of those shenanigans carry over into the games. My players would say that my strong suits are dramatic narrations (certified bookworm), pacing, and atmosphere. I would say I'm pretty good at coming up with cool consequences for player actions. Hope to see you at my table and start having fun!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Mechanically, character creation will follow the rules outlined in the Hero's book. No third-party content. Narratively, skim through the Zeitgeist Player's Guide and use what inspires you for your backstory. Please limit backstory to 1 page. Session 0 is free, and we will tackle character during that time as well.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You need to have a good internet connection, a decent microphone, and the Codex. This is the premium bespoke VTT for Draw Steel. You will need to purchase it for $20, and I'll deduct it from the price of your second session. (Codex, as of yet, is not fully released. It will launch before the start of session 1).
What GM Dennis brings to the table
Premium VTT experience: We play on Draw Steel Codex, featuring dynamic lighting, multi-level maps, custom soundscapes, fully implemented and automated rules, and so much more. Amazing maps: Many map commissions and personal creations custom-made for the adventure, paired with some of the best maps from creators like Cze Peku and Tom Cartos. Sound design: A custom playlist made to capture and enhance the essence of the adventure.

Safety
How GM Dennis creates a safe table
I have gone to great lengths to ensure a safe environment for everyone, and no problematic behaviour will be tolerated at the table. To that end, we use Session 0 to establish expectations, Lines and Veils to ensure no personal boundaries are crossed, and an open-door policy so you can step away from the game without judgment.
