[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 2236150, member: 31734"] I don't mean to get on your case about this, GuardianLurker, but I really disagree with you. I for one don't care which alignment wins overall nor do I plan to make little marks in my books to modify individual creature's challenge ratings by one or two. The only thing that interests me here are how the battles themselves are carried out. I'm doing my best to make them interesting and fun to read, and ugulu's combats are a blast as well. I've tried to convince friends of mine to read these threads and their reaction probably explains the low interest we are having here (we barely have enough to cover the alignments, with Gansk still tackling the whole N). They don't want to read the combats like they were chess matches, but interesting battles and lots of description. I think having the [i]ulterior [/i]motive of an analytical evaluation of the monsters and determining valid metrics for comparisons of the challenge ratings is fine. The primary purpose, however, as with D&D, should be to have fun and make it enjoyable for readers. I'd like to see so many people interested that Gansk could spend all his time rolling dice and doing behind-the-scene calculations. (ENWorld has how many members and we have only 9 or so participants?) Lurkers could then read through the battles and not only enjoy them, but perhaps it would stimulate them into using some of the descriptive text or create adventures on based what they read. I'm sure also that reading these combats will help every reader out there learn about the rules, tactics, and how to run a successful game. So, when you say that the entirety of the low-level combats are meaningless, I not only disagree (okay, some of them are, but not all), but I also feel offended that you think our efforts are wasted. So, please, I urge you to reconsider your attitude on the overall exercise and I hope that the lurkers read this and remain interested and hopefully encourage themselves and others to participate. :D [/QUOTE]
