If possible, try not to separate the party, especially if the group is small in size. The 'non-diplomatic' encounters CRs may well be beyond them if you do, making it quite lethal. A suggestion that I think came up earlier in this thread was to keep the warp destinations the same while the door...

do your players actually pick up on these inconsistencies - or is it only the "Huge creature in a 10'x10' room" that they notice? (caveat - I haven't been reading all your game logs - some, but not all) my group focuses more on the micro-aspects than the macro, except for concepts and...

cheers - up with the others (see link two articles up). Seems that the "upper level" areas have all suffered. Region O has references to P throughout, N had the missing rooms, and now D. Oh - and the 10x15 room - are you using the 5' per square or 10' per square option, as that definitely has...

I've done up a DM Map for Region M in the same style as rvalle's and Hussar's. Click here if anyone is interested (last one in the list of my maps) - along with the other images still waiting to be uploaded to James' site.

not a good idea in WLD. teleport doesn't work there anyway. seriously though, have the other party members carry you around (or your familiar if you have one that has a decent movement rate) - preferably someone who is not going to be the target of area effect spells. Rogues get evasion, but...

Preparing for the jump to M first up - any tips from those who have DMd region M would be appreciated. It looks like the party is headed there next. Recap: The party had defeated Madness - calling the in the wandering NPC paladin at the end. The party members had just made level 9, and now had...

they are still missing region O (and I haven't done one yet either). If you want the maps without room numbers then you can grab my copies of the maps that are still waiting to be uploaded to James Lorimor's website.

Played a CG elven mage when we went through this many years back. She was the one who had the pieces and gradually got more and more lawful as the rod grew - until she was almost anal-retentive bureaucratic, driving some of the other chaotic characters to distraction. We ruined the wedding, with...

for me it depends on the reason. If you worship a dark god then there is usually a very selfish motive for doing so (promise of power, retribution against enemies, rewards in the afterlife) or you are stupid/brainwashed etc. Leaving aside the stupid angle - it then becomes a means to achieving...

After a 6 week break for Christmas and New Year my WLD game restarted. The characters had rested in Mahir's Cache licking their wounds after the side trip in to J. Realizing that they weren't powerful enough yet to head east they opted to go north - towards Madness. Fully healed and ready for...

straying from the original question, but remember that the Law v Chaos thing was based on the opposing forces in Moorcock's Elric series. Simply put - a balance is required for life. Excessive Law leads to stagnation and lack of development - ie - a picture frozen in time. Excessive Chaos leads...

not unless those rituals were codified in some manner - and then you are approaching dogma. Superstitions and rituals that are individualistic do not make lawful behaviour. Superstitions and rituals that are collective can be a basis for lawful behaviour. Think about it in terms of...

There was a good article back many many years ago in Dragon that talked about ways of playing alignments based on priorities and superstitions. Essentially as a lawful character you rank family/race/deity/party/self/country/and one other that I can't remember. If you are evil - put self first...

Happy Christmas everyone!

With a little bit of misinterpretation you could adapt several. "Deck the halls with boughs of holly" (deck = hit solidly so that it falls down) "Troll the ancient yuletide carol" (An old troll called Carol) or "Jingle bells ... sing a 'slaying' song tonight" ;)

not in the immediate future. They have even thought of heading south to the Goblin kingdom so that they can practice tactics. (I have had reports given to the Garrison that there is major conflict in the Goblin kingdom with the king being revealed as a doppelganger etc - they haven't pieced...

When Region I is considered *safe*! My 100th post on the EnWorld boards. So - what happens when a party that has been cruisin' through WLD takes the wrong turn? - brown trousers. My party of 7 8th level characters (plus 1 NPC) (now down to 4+1) headed from Region I to Region J (as per #1906...

thanks Jim I've posted there and advertised here ;)

Right turn Clyde. After one of the party (Mystic Theurge) got feebleminded by having a quaff of "great elixir" that they found in Mahir's cache, I had the resident lantern archon appear and took her and two other no-shows back to the Garrison in E while the present party members pressed on. So...

Mahir was a sorcerer and it came up earlier in the thread about it not being a wizard's spellbook per se, but rather a book of rituals that duplicated the spells. IIRC there was a product that was released around that time that covered Rituals that would have dovetailed nicely with it, but I...
