[QUOTE="efreund, post: 8627249, member: 6799797"] My ZG campaign has been on hiatus since the pandemic began. We were just about to start adv7, which we really want to be back in person for. So how do we keepalive interest in the campaign and setting during the long break? Wacky side adventures! As you are probably aware, there have been two excellent "Hogwarts-but-not" fantasy modules published lately: [I]Strixhaven [/I](DnD 5e) and [I]Strength of Thousands[/I] (PF 2e). I am attracted to the idea of magic-school hijinks, but I have no interest in the settings the two schools are placed in. But I do have a lot of interest in the Zeitgeist setting. The stars aligned, and the conclusion was obvious. This week we kicked off [B]Strength of the Puma[/B], set in Flint in autumn of 500 AOV, ready for the start of the fall semester. (I decided to lean into the fact that the Puma was the school mascot of Pardwight U, and that students are colloquially called 'pumas'.) In order to get some fun going on, we did lifepath character generation. The latter half, I cribbed from Paizo's [I]Ultimate Campaign[/I], but the first half, I had to write up myself. I'll share it with you in the next post. What I'd like help from you, o forumites, is what to do for students' "houses" at Pardwight. I don't particularly like Strixhaven's or Strength's houses, and I'm not going to reuse Hogwarts', as wonderful as they are. I'm kinda tempted to model the houses after the fey titans, but that kinda conflicts with the "puma" thing I have going on, and since Pardwight is as much an engineering college as a magical college, that doesn't feel quite right. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
