Some time ago I was attracted by ZGG brand (remembering Blackmoor productions) and I managed to find the time and occasions to play
The Gears of Revolution. I was really stunned by this campaign!
I only think that they picked the wrong ruleset to run it... you can find my general thoughts in my review here

Nice review!
However, this has nothing to do with Zeitgeist Games. Zeitgeist was one of the settings published by ENWorld. I forget the other one now. There may even have been others later that I never heard about.
The book looks great. I think one of the problems with ENWorld is that they are not all that good at communicating their products outside of the ENWorld Community. I had a look at O.L.D and N.E.W and again I see some nice artwork, but beyond that I fail to see why I should be interested in their products.
I do like steam tech type elements in my games and I am also interested in Napoleonic Era campaigns etc, but is that really what they are offering?

:oops: I missed the trick about Zeitgeist being a setting and having nothing to do with Zeitgeist Games!
hock:
I even genuinely thought that the fact that they allow levelling up at the end of each adventure was a legacy of early Dave Arneson's games! You can find that I added a passing mention to this in my review... :roll:

I just dowloaded the Zeitgeist stuff from EnWorld the other day for curiosity sake - I like it a lot. I'd definitely mine it for Blackmoor or graft the setting onto the greater Blackmoor world.

In this case I really think you could turn it reasonably easily into a future (steampunk-era) Blackmoor with very good satisfaction.
