[QUOTE="Col_Pladoh, post: 3728184, member: 796"] As a point of order: When I am a guest at a convention I am there to entertain people and add to the fun they have at the event. thus, unless the game session is advertised as one where the pbjective is to kill the PCs--and I've done a few of those--I try to keep PCs alive. Of course if a player doesn't want to have his character survive, the natural selection process of the game environment will take over... Now, when a group is really enjopying themselves, playing well too, then it becomes very enjoyable for me to be the GM, do my best to stretch the players' participatory skills increasingly. If I do make it back to next year's GenCon I do hope I'll have what amounts to basically the same group of Mods again, so the dungeon crawl can be picked up from the base of those steps that lead down to the 2nd level. If the space and seating accommodations make it possible I'll happily expand the group to eight or nine players too. A noisy dungeon cart adds to the anticipation... I must note that by next August the initial levels of the [I]Castle Zagyg[/I] work will probably be available. The upper levels therein will not be like those I created for my original dungeon--save hopefully in spirit and enjoyment level. Just a way of saying I had a good time too :D Cheerio, Gary [/QUOTE]
