I want my group to have to battle a bit before getting more goodies (the elixir and fountain notwithstanding). They are getting used to taking the diplomacy route now, which is extremely encouraging. Q: Mahir's book of rituals. This is a book of rituals for sorcerers. How have people approached...

My players have found Mahir's cache. Detect Secret Doors made fairly short work of the diabolical locks guarding the book of Rituals, and I also threw in a pot with some doses of Halruaan Great Elixir (from the Shining South) as well as the Fountain of Fortune's Folly that was in Dragon magazine...

welcome back. I find this thread one of the most valuable resources available for DMs running WLD, and as I'm still running it, will continue to use it.

The maps that I did? PlayerJ contains all the areas. PlayerJb contains all the areas except those only reachable by secret doors. PlayerJ is useful for DMs who use electronic maps to show players where they are. PlayerJb is in case the DM wants to hand out a map (without giving away the...

Is Hussar's RegionJMasterMap (http://150.101.101.161/wld/RegionJMasterMap.jpg) the one you were after?

Quick Q - than a game recap. I29 - Crossfire, under tactics, says "... PCs must weigh the damage to determine what is worse. Each of them getting scorched or" My copy of the book cuts off mid-sentence. Is this the case with everyone's? Party went through here last night. They managed to just...

getting back to the original questions: According to the monks - yes. According to the paladin (and his god) - most probably not. According to the rules of the land and secular authority? - we aren't given enough information to judge. Depends on who you ask ;) Most assuredly yes, because his...

Any paladin who approaches the gate of the Vault openly (UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY THEIR GOD) rather than getting the scout/rogue/ranger to find a way to sneak the party in deserves what they get (imho). - That would be a case of lawful stupid. But as the poll question did not specify - it...

absolutely - and neither did I say that people said that the code did not apply, but looking for loopholes (and therefore not breaking the code) was what many have been implying. which would have been harder to do had not Sauron been distracted by Aragorn. In the scenario given, the rogue (or...

ok - I haven't seen any "yes" arguments given, mostly a lot of singing to the choir. I voted "give a warning", but I want to play devil's advocate here a bit. If your DM is out to dirty the paladin, or throw these situations in for some sadistic reason then it doesn't really matter what you...

I think it depends a lot upon the paladin's deity, as they are answerable to them above all other authorities. I would also reward a paladin who answered "yes", rather than punish them with death. Read the Deed of Paksenarrion for an example of a paladin who chose to follow her deity's example...

RolePlayingMaster with a projecter attached to my laptop and projected against the wall of the room we game in. Works extremely well. I paid for it before Fantasy Grounds and MapTable came on the scene (several years ago) and display the player map on the projection while doing reveals on the DM...

Just watched Beowulf & Grendel. Not the best movie I've ever seen, but worth adding to the list. Spot v Hide, having encounters that don't necessarily always end in combat, clash of religion, etc. From a gamer's perspective it is worth checking out.

I'd make it so that the destination changes after something passes one way through the door. So - open door, close door, open door - same location no matter how many times. Open door, someone goes through, close door, open door - 89% chance of being a different location. Open door, someone goes...

Glad you like the negative energy wave idea. Suggestion: when they get to G and can hear the Trumpet Archon's song through the region, have the tone change (key change or major to minor, or tempo change, or something else musical) when the wave rolls through and then back again when it (and the...

remember that region K is levels 10-12 and L is 12-14. Water breathing is a 3rd level spell, and alter self 2nd - so potions are an option here. Necklace of adaption and pearl of the sirenes will also take care of water breathing (not to mention Helm of Underwater action). By the time the party...

just a heads up - because the WLD is restricted to SRD-compliant beasties you might find that your party gets through encounters easier than might otherwise be the case. Oh - and pop in a sustaining spoon instead of the rings of sustenance. The spoon can feed up to 4 people, so they can...

best to post your questions on the main thread. We *know* that it is long and takes a while for new readers to catch up (even considering a huge number of posts were lost in the crash) but it also keeps all the discussion in one place and makes it easier to search (rather than having to search...

depends a lot on whether the town is growing in size, has suffered major catastrophies etc. Assuming the 150 is equally spread between 3 generations and generations are approximately 30 years apart, population has been zero growth and the graveyard was started around about the time that the...

Absolutely. btw - if they are heading to F and you don't mind giving them one of the keys ahead of time then I'd suggest having one be found on the body of a dead demon (there is a description of one in the empty rooms description fillers at the beginning of the book that has the demon's body...
