    I spread the word around to my gaming friends. I'm trying to talk a friend into showing and and being my Brother in TB's game. TB: At least we have the Bears now! rv

    What's the big deal with point buy?

    I agree. Our resident power gamer was most unhappy when I did a point buy for our WLD campaign. I was getting comments of "So you think PC's are average people doing heroic things?". This was with a 28 point buy. This is the same player who, with rolling 4d6 and dropping lowest but with no...

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

    I don't quite agree with that. As the figher of the group said once about the Bard (Reck is his name): "Reck has saved the party more times then I care to admit". It helps that the player is VERY good. He also likes to take 'odd' spells and find uses for them. That +1/+1 adds up and, now that...

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

    Region 'I' has claimed its first victim! I feel a little bad about it as the character did nothing wrong... it was just bad luck and more my 'fault' then his. The characters have been talking the Dark Naga. She is making a deal with them to retrieve Malhir's (sp?) Spell book and notes and she...

    What protects against ability drain?

    I had players go though that section of the WLD... but they were at level 4-6. Bracers of Armor work vs a Shadow's touch. Fighting Defensively does as well. Magic Stone was used to great effect. Magic Missile and Spiritual Weapons also work without the 50% miss chance. My group ended up going...

    Flintstones Technology in D&D

    Yep, imp cameras and, as a corollary, used as speed control devices to take pictures of carts moving too fast. Imp powered PDA's. Golem's used to do icky/dangerous jobs: i.e. working underwater/fluid, in poisonous gas ect. I've always liked the heat removal fan on top of the Troll Guard's...

    Yeah, I'd play... if I wasn't going to try and get into the game TraceBullet is running. :) But I'm SURE Buzz would love to have you fill in a morning slot!!! rv

    Chicago Gameday XV is Oct 21st: Planning thread

    Is that true? I play DnD/D20 outside of Gameday. I like to try new things here. Which is why I've signed up for your games the last couple of Gamedays. rv

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

    Wow, I think that Deciple of Madness fight is going to be seriously hard for my group. I think the region descriptions ARE what is making I memoriable so far. I love the players getting freaked out by the envionment. Its better then them going "Are we taking damage from it? Eh, whatever...

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

    Hah, yes. The party offered her gold. "I have no need for gold Darling, where would I spend it?". Man, that is just a great voice. At least I was able to get her though one encounter without the party just attacking her outright. rv

    Starting Worlds Largest Dungeon - general suggestions, and jazzing up Region A

    If the players go to E there will not be the redunancy issue. In my game the Ogre, trogs and suvriving orcs were turned into Shadows from the group in E once the players got the Shadows attention. Drawing a blank for anything else at the moment. rv

    Chicago Gameday XV is Oct 21st: Planning thread

    If he does I think the rest of us will have to play outside. In the rain. The game store is just not big enough to handle Synnibar and other games at the same time.

    Starting Worlds Largest Dungeon - general suggestions, and jazzing up Region A

    I started the party out at level 2 with max hps. Had them at 3rd when they fought longtail. The body guards are in rooms near the chapel. Just east and south of it. Currently in the book the doors have been battered down by the owlbear and there is only dead bodies. There are also 2 lizardmen...

    Starting Worlds Largest Dungeon - general suggestions, and jazzing up Region A

    Not having the portal open yet doesn't really break anything later on. You could do this: Keep the idea of the orcs and kobolds still fighting. Pc's trying to work their way though the mess. This could take quite a bit of work as you have to go though and rearange where critters are. After a...

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

    Time for an update. My group has gone into 'I' 4 or 5 times now. So far its been working well. I like how the 'icky' factor ramps up. When I first described the walls ect they were pretty grossed out but kept going. Then they came to a room total covered in oozing flesh... so much so that they...
