[QUOTE="Ajar, post: 6371925, member: 85901"] So my players and I backed the Act One compilation Kickstarter at the @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=63"]RangerWickett[/URL][/U][/B][/I] runs a game for you at GenCon" level. That was actually the reason we went to GenCon, although since we were there we did do some other stuff (True Dungeon, and I played in the Netrunner US national championship). My players are really, [I]really[/I] into Zeitgeist, which I think speaks to the spectacular quality of the campaign. I've said here and elsewhere before that Zeitgeist is the best published campaign I've ever come across in some 20 years of playing and running RPGs, and I made a point of mentioning that to @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=1"]Morrus[/URL][/U][/B][/I] when I met him at GenCon to pick up our (signed!) copy of the compilation, pictured below with Rock Rackus' golden gun beside it for scale: [IMG]http://www.strobelight.ca/pictures/gencon2014/compilation.jpg[/IMG] We met up with @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=63"]RangerWickett[/URL][/U][/B][/I] in the lobby of a hotel in Indy, all in costume, so we asked him to take a few pictures of the squad.
