My group is getting ready to head from region B into Region C tonight. I spent a while re-reading Region C last night, and I'm totally unimpressed with the whole 'key' subplot. I just dont see any sense for why you need a key to get from Region B to Region F, and why that key would be in...

Wall of Force I don't see that much but haste... I don't know if 'overused' is exactly the right word, more "standard operating procedure". There are just alot of spells like that on these higher level parties. I don't have the problem as my GM in my WLD game yet, because my players are still...

darn, missed a ton of stuff i wanted i couldn't get it to work this morning, and just figured i'd try again later i didn't realize they changed it every day at 10 am ah well.

Disarm and trip are annoying to use, but they don't permanently rob the party of their magical items. Magical items, which in the WLD are more difficult than normal to replace. Destroying all their magic weapons is definately a way to ramp the difficulty up, if you need that, but other than...

Improved Grapple? :) That one is monsters only but boy can it slow a game down. Sunder is about the only thing that's just "not done" in our groups. Your spellcaster is annoying, but he won't be too awful. We have one like that in the group I'm a player in, he made more of a debuff wizard...

I almost said something when you first mentioned using sunder, sorry! Yeah sunder is not a road you want to walk down. It's just as nasty and effective when players use it and it can really ruin a good fight if the PC's sunder your big baddies uber weapon. On the other hand, PC's don't really...

My group meets twice a month (max) usually for about 4 hours before one of the working moms starts to fall asleep. We are the poster child for groups with not enough time, so I don't think that's it :) Your group just sounds much more detail oriented than mine, my group are pretty happy with a...

See, to me, getting almost party wiped by highly aggressive goblins should be enough reason for them to feel justified in having the characters retreat? Unfortunately I think part of your problem is giving them the player maps, since they can see the fastest way through, they go for it. I know...

I'm a big fan of keeping things simple. My group managed to wander into a region that was too high level for them and the combination of my maniacal giggling and the hydra they ran into convinced them they should maybe head back. I take it your _players_ either aren't smart enough (I mean that...

I am also running it mostly as written. I basically skimmed the whole book. Then when they hit a section, I re-skim that section, and read the intro to the section and all the overall section bits to make sure it all makes sense. Then each week I read in detail any room I think they could...

Absolutely! Not blaming anyone (or at least not too much). I'm just getting to Region B for the first time. If someone can point me to the page(s) in this thread where people talked about it the first time I'll go look there, but I couldn't really find anything! I don't mean to throw blame, I...

Thanks, I'm looking at it now, I still don't see another door. I'll probably just make it ridiculously easy for them to find the secret door in B27. Played last night and got up to B16. Had the same issue in B12 with a bottleneck. The door there is locked with an obscene Open Locks DC for...

More Region B confusion! Can you really only get into the whole upper left part of the map either from another Region or from the secret door in Room 27? My group is coming from the direction of Room 1, having just come from Region A. From the way it's written, if they don't find the secret...

That helps some, I'm still a bit confused as to where the bridge is, and how they get to it from the west side (which is where my party is coming in). I'll fake it :)

Hey guys, I'm walking through Area B, and I'm a bit confused by Room B12. The whole description of the room just doesn't make any sense to me. I'm especially confused about the whole 'groove' thing? I can't picture what in the world they mean by a groove with a 6 inch floor? Six inches...
