    Notes from a Savage Worlds fantasy campaign (updated with 05/28/08 session notes!)...

    Yeah, I thought the mass combat rules looked very damaging to the party but they have a good chance of swinging the battle in their favor. Nice post. Good luck to your players! rv

    Wall of Thorns - Overpowered? How to balance...

    Yeah, I'm having the same problem with Sunbeam. You get 4 beams and each one can blind more then 1 creature. And, as far as I can tell, the blindness is Permanent. Remove Blindness is easy for a party, but what monsters have it? I now have a bunch of perma-blinded Fire Giants waiting for the...

    Wall of Thorns - Overpowered? How to balance...

    This might belong in the rules section... Where does it say it does not effect LOS? I ruled it did. Freedom of Movement worked well for getting people out that were stuck inside (the party got hit by one). rv

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

    There is metion of the party going to N to investigate the negitive energy waves coming from the tomb. Some of the random encounter tables have waves moving though the region either doing damage (most of them) or doing strange things (the table for the outside of the tomb brings some bones to...

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

    We're 2 and a half years in and I figure we have 6 months to a year left. Speaking of which... my players just dipped their toes into N and made a DM version of the map with the sections marked. Can you host it for others to use (those of us left that is). For anyone else still reading this...

    Notes from a Savage Worlds fantasy campaign (updated with 05/28/08 session notes!)...

    Mass combat would be good. So would giving the players some Allies to use on their side during a bigger (but non-mass combat) fight. rv

    Sunbeam

    While humorous and fun to imagine, I don't think this would work. Don't you have to have a line of effect to the target location? 100% concealment would break that. You could try to just toss them out as far as they will go (maybe) and hope they hit a bad guy before they hit max range though...

    Sunbeam

    Yes... I had those thoughts as well. My only (minor) issue was that its an area effect spell. That thing is brutal vs Giants. :) Not that being blinded for 13+ rounds doesn't pretty much mean a death sentence anyway. Thanks for the input. rv

    Sunbeam

    How long does the blindness last on a creature effected by a Sunbeam spell? Right now I'm thinking its one round per level but the spell description is unclear.

    One thing to remember, the Wall of Force is 10 feet high and, at least Frost Giants, are 15 feet tall. :) rv

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

    My group (13th) has been casting Haste about every fight for a while now. There are 2 characters that have the spell. Wall of Force is new but has started to show up as either being cast or as an option for the last few fights. They used it last game as a 'Oh shoot, we need to run away NOW'...

    Gaming online. . . what to use?

    My group has been using Fantasy Grounds for over 2 years now and it works very well for us. I've been running the the WLD during this time and I can drop in the map for the whole region, mask it, zoom in and drop the player tokens onto the map and play the whole region from that one map. As...

    Large greatsword

    There is nothing in the spell that says the reverse is true (picking up something enlarges it). rv

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

    Thanks for the ideas. As the party is all 'good' they didn't like the idea of serving an evil Frost Giant very much. I tossed out the 'for a year' bit and it didn't go over so well. So then the party tried to theaten their way past. The Frost Giant leader has a slave brought out and drops a...

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

    So... the Frost Giant leader will let the party exit in exchange for "their most powerful magic items and an oath of fealty". I'm a little confused by that last bit as to what it would mean. It seems like they become vassels of him and he becomes their 'lord'. He can then command them to do...
