however, the problem , of course, in the title of the thread is the use of a noun as an adjective. it should read mathematical errors thirded

i can tell you they do exist. as an ENnies judge last year... i was pulling my hair out trying to choke thru the blunders in the Spycraft book.

i voted go find the old article in Dragon from around 1985 or so. something like the Quality of horseflesh.

why does it have to be hazing though? if i had fun playing lvl 1 thru whatever. then why would i want to rob the new player of that fun too? not every group hazes.

another Wee Jas vote.

it is meant to be fun.

and without the commoner no other class would exist. where do heroes come from? Mommy and Daddy. and where does the food on your table come from? and where does the shirt on your back? or the shoes on your feet? most of the world are commoners, comrade. fear the commoners learning the truth...

aren't there some games in Tournaments, Fairs & Taverns? i can't remember

does it have to be a snow beast? can it just be a perceived living thing? i'd go with something along the lines of Caradhas/Redhorn... one of the Misty Mountains. it has ties with stories by the elves, dwarves, hobbits, and humans.

thus their modular nature. they could be inserted into any campaign and at any juncture the DM liked. the DM filled in the reasons. the railroad of DL was it included much of the "reasoning" of why it had to be run a certain way.

the release of the pre1974 boxed sets was .... handscrawled or Xeroxed/mimeograph. perhaps the blue mimeograph was someone having access to a school. ;) just notes from gaming sessions really. not very organized.

if i had a nickel for everybody who said DL wasn't a railroad. and that i used railroading as a crutch. DL was a railroad. if you wanted to use the 16 modules/booklets as they were released. you had to get on board the train. chugga chugga choo choo

true dat.

oh, i'm with you there. i'm just saying that is a real response in cases where i've gamed. players bust up the whole room just to make sure they searched everything. even tho, 99.9% of the time nothing was there.

i know what the gist is. i'm just relating my experience with my group. they hated the railroading. it felt like a necktie to them. we were beer and pretzels gamers. with a lot of hard rock playing in the background.

if they go up they get eaten by nonreal dragons. :lol:

places they can't go is fine. the railroad is every place else but the way the story goes. east, south, west, north, underground, in the air... nope you can't go.. you run into infinite draconians. only if you go along route X and get captured will it work.

Wilderlands Boxed set from Necromancer or try DCC35 Known World from Goodman Games

and your response to the player that says fine. i destroy the bedpost until i find something. breaking apart every part of the room until it is completely searched. even tho taking 20 with the 6 int 6 wis PC would never find it.

i still have and occassionally use the Games Workshop boxed sets from 1983.
