I think he's just trying to confuse me ;) Wow! I am teh awesome Gorilla Bear! Mind you the general populace will probably prefer the old list :D When (if) you guys switch this back you should do some thing like this on every special holiday! I can't wait to see what you do for April Fool and...

Ah cool, gotcha. Actually sounding very similar to what I do then! It's worthwhile. The spice of life is variety and I found the DMG2 was what started me really thingking outside the box with Challenges and lead me down the path of trying to inject a lot of variety into this aspect of my...

I kinda extend that to any new group... If they are noobs they need the intro. If they are more experienced they need to know that my Challenges are probably pretty different to what they have experienced before. Quite nice! One of my favourite Challenges with my current group was an ambush...

Yeah the right Challenge for the scenario is definately the trick, IME. I'm a pretty big believer in tinkering with Challenges and trying something new. Sometimes it doesn't quite go right but for the most part the variety and change works well... As long as it's thought through. I think...

LOL! Yeah, I'd say so ;) :D

Well until... You know.

Maybe he inserted a new one somewhere? Or maybe he's just messing with our heads? Or maybe... ? Lots of maybes! But you know what? It's all part of the fun! :D

Meh. It's probably far worse than the old one :P

hahahahaha! Teh awesome! FTW! Prolly Level 9 :D ;)

The overwhelimng majority seem to agree with you. I certainly do. That said some groups seem happy to run that way. That's the kind of thing I am talking about as a "planning and accounting tool". If you also don't "announce" it and have the PCs roleplay it as it unfolds it can be very...

Yeah there's a lot of great advice in DMG2 and much of it negates or contradicts what Saeviomagy posted... What he describes is considered the most basic form of SC, from the DMG2 perspective. FWIW I just make sure everyone has specified their activity or lack thereof I'd go a lot further than...

Urm.... Have you read DMG2? Everything you say is DMG1 to the Nth degree. It's very interesting that you strongly oppose things very carefully outlined and discussed in DMG2.

I was at 124 after TarionzCousin XPed me, then I went to bed... Now it's morning in sleepy old aussie land and I'm at 135! Thanks Camelot and darjr... I don't how to break the 11 XP up between the two of you tho! :D

Been there, got the T-Shirt! FWIW I unconditionally apologise for where I was being overly sensitive and, in my turn, snarky. Best we put that bit of this thread behind us :angel: Yeah I get that. I said a couple of times earlier in the thread that I always consult my players and constantly...

What's that weird rash you have and did the cream from the doctor's help? ;)

LOL! I can't see that happening. BTW I edited #272 to show my new current XP. I'll continue to update as long as I don't slip across the border!

That could make a huge difference! Seriously tho, you should borrow someones copy of DMG2 and read the chapter on SCs. A lot of what I'm trying to say will click into place. And the rest will, hopefully, be easier to understand. Yeah sole DM and it's been that way for oh 30 years now ;) If...

Nope. But when someone only disagrees and disregards a lot of what I'm saying... And keeps up that pattern. Well that person tends to read argumentative, to say the least. In those circumstances I generally feel a compulsion to check up on their history. I'm happy to be wrong and have no...

Exactly. This thread is heavy in supporter XP. Hence I gave you a +1 XP and suggested we try to keep the same number of XP awards (not total XP) in #271 & #272... That will hopefully spread us just a little... Just enough to be of use :)

For science, of course! LOL! Of course you are now one ahead of me cos I XPed you :) If we want to try to hit at about the same time folks helping by giving XP should really try to keep the number of XPs on posts #271 and #272 equal. If that happens with minimal XP from outside this thread...
