We were working on a shared homebrew world and I decided to make my island an "emerald isle" of elves and fey. to flesh it out I ran people through the GDQ series. Worked really well. Strangest thing wa having an entire party of magic-users/<something else>: the fighters cast fireball, the thieves cast fireball, the clerics cast fireball, etc. If they got the jump on something or could otherwise bring all their artillery to bear, it was as good as over. They may not have had the best hitpoints but when everybody in the party can hit the main bad guy with a lightningbolt, the fight doesn't last long. Beside the modules, we actually did lots of politics and magic development. With five magic-users in the party and centuries to develop neat new spells, that's exaclty what they did. Everything was pretty laid back and adventures took years to complete. When given orders to decend into the D series by the elven emperess, she gave them two years to prepare and leave. They not only took that two years (which I thought was just going to be an elvish touch) but guards actually had to show up and escort them outside the city walls with some neat new spells half completed. they went off and adventured and the first city they came across (a mind-flayer city in another one of the vaults in the D series, hey, their money was good), they settled down and spent another year and a half finishing the spells before continuing on to the Vault of the Drow. One of the PCs, the only one to play from 1st level on up, had a half-elf kid (fromt he time he spent as an ambassador to the humand kingdom on the mainland) from before the campaign started and by time the campaign was over he was almost of a playable age.</p></blockquote><p></p>
