    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    this is precisely my complaint about initiative in rpgs. no single monster should face off against 5 pcs. the numbers are against the monster, every time. unless the monster can cast horrid wilting, there are few options of damaging every, at once, at the same level that the monster "suffered"...

    dear god. can you imagine how brutal just 1/2 this dungeon would have been, if i'd stepped outside the SRD for anything? just making the feral ghouls for region c felt like i was breaking PCs over my knee. DMs that allow PCs access to material outside the SRD should feel completely vindicated...

    as far as i know, you can post whatever you like, so long as you don't sell it when i was at aeg, we gave a handful of people permission to post the maps, with a caveat boilerplate that went with the maps. blackbluered or two falls may still have the boilerplate as far as i'm concerned, post...

    if the PCs get to level 18 before they fight godzirra... make sure you take some of the restraints off of its tactics (fyi) that's how we kept the CR so low for that encounter good luck. no one has posted a fight with the terrasque yet, i don't think

    Ha. You crack me up, Sean. It depends on your DMing and the PCs play style, but yeah. That can get monotonous. If the don't want to do it, you can save the region for a different campaign.

    sorry. the logic here was that she's a NIGHT hag... allowing her to use the power of the ring as though she were outdoors... more of a theme... sort of

    Demons have sooo many tricks up their sleeves. Sending him into a state of catatonia, insane, or perhaps scattering his ashes into the lava should stop the true res. Especially if the demons kill Evalyn. since demons don't work well together, i recommend sending four different waves of demons...

    It's not uncommon for a good staff writer to get replaced by some kid who wants to work for free just to get his name in print. Rather than pay creators a liveable wage in gaming, the proverbial carrot continually dangles, forcing established creators to work harder and harder to get by. A...

    my tummy hurts First, thanks for taking the time out to post on here. Usually, these threads die or change into “anime-furries are better than manga-furries” arguments. At least your post was topical. Secondly, seeing as how you couldn't avoid bringing up your hurt feelings, I've chosen to...

    the sky fell somewhere around 3 and a half I have not read this entire thread, so I apologize now if I'm reiterating something someone already said. First, while Ryan is dancing around the topic of fantasy gaming denigration/deterioration, he isn't talking about the "death" of TRPGs (crap, I...

    i told you, the worst thing about this project is i'll never get to play it. so, your nerdie posts are my way of vicariously joining your adventures. :) even if i've read the same story about region A 600 times, now. but, despite the work, i'm really glad everyone likes this dungeon. hats...

    ha. great post. i think this is the first ever post about region F. i worried that the design of this region was self-indulgent and didn't suit the needs of DMs and PCs. but NOT having a maze would have been suspect. feh 50/50 i guess and i want more details about that dwarf getting it...
