103. bandage-unwrapper for mummies.

I was with you up to this. It most assuredly can be answered in-game. RC

Well, then you are a wise individual, and a real humanitarian to boot! :cool: If you set up a believable context, and follow-through with the naturally occurring consequences that flow from player choices, there is no contrast. Even if the players try to focus on "smart play", the in-game...

Just for the record, I've run B2 in Holmes Basic, 1e, 2e, and 3e, for various groups of players over the years. "The PCs will succeed in clearing out the Caves of Chaos, making the area safe for human habitation" is actually one of the least likely outcomes IME. I've seen PCs move on to other...

Meh. The fun in these games -- at least the games that I am talking about -- comes from the unfolding interplay of context, choice, and consequence in an unpredictable pattern. The result may then be told as a story, but the goal is not to "create an amazing story". The experience....the...

C-C-C is a shorthand: Within a given context, you make choices, and accept the consequences of those choices. The players are the authors of the PCs' intents; they are not the authors of the world, and do not get to pick and choose what consequences they wish to occur. Will they? That...

Meh. Addressing one argument (I find that 4e gets in the way of role-playing) with another (It is impossible to role-play with 4e) is the definition of a straw man. "You can role-play in Monopoly" relates specifically to the claim that "system doesn't matter" re: RPing, to demonstrate the...

Fair enough. But, as the OP's GM is apparently actually reading this thread, I reiterate: Going back to the original post, I'm not at all sure that anything Edwards has to say is relevant. So, maybe the dwarf's player would prefer a different style of campaign play? Is it a more popular...

You guys make some great points, and if I ever run into anyone making the claim that it is impossible to role-play in 4e, I'll try to remember them. Of course, I'm not holding my breath on that. Until then, Good Gaming! RC (If I do ever see it, it will probably come in the form of marketing...

Oh.....cheese curds, and cheese baskets. Generally, good cheese and bad beer, but there are a lot of small craft breweries in Wisconsin now, so it is possible to get some really interesting beer. If you set the game in Milwaukee, you must include the Mitchell Park Domes.

I grew up in northern Wisconsin (Pembine) and in the Milwaukee area (+ suburbs). Things to include: * Logging industry in pine forest northlands. * Red ants. * Mosquitoes. * Ticks. * Trying to navigate the one-way streets in Pewaukee. * Non-natives trying to pronounce "Oconomowac". *...

92. Archaeologist in any Doctor Who story. 93. Robin's Minstrel 94. Torch-bearer for Adventuring Party. 95. Nodwick. 96. Internet Tough Guy. 97. Dental Hygeinist for undead patrons

Going back to the original post, I'm not at all sure that anything Edwards has to say is relevant. So, maybe the dwarf's player would prefer a different style of campaign play? Is it a more popular style? No. Would changing to that style be likely to make the GM better for her group as a...

I'm in the process of doing what I would do. It is actually much harder (esp. time consuming!) than I suspected, but the results are very satisfying.

A book? I am very much enjoying your riddles, AeroDM. :D

Of course! There's lots to criticize....and a lot they did better. Sometimes I think I should just go back to 1e....but there are things about 1e I have no desire to go back to. :D
