[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 1030878, member: 552"] Theres never a picture with me in it that I like... All the moderators are awesome people, and if I had a camera with me, I would have displayed my awesome tracking abilities... And Living Greyhawk is hard as hell... APL 2 (Characters 1st-2nd level) were supposed to survive a list of encounters that includes, but was not limited to: [b]Spoiler, Repeat, Do not read if you are AT GENCON for Saturday or Sunday[/b][color=222222] 2 Gargoyles hovering over a platform of tiles that cause minor wounds with every 5 foot step if the player hasn't solved a puzzle yet... they had damage reduction 5 I'm guessing, and took half damage from piercing/slashing attacks... hard but not too hard... 1 Creatures that spawned 5 1 hit dice incorporeal (Read: Not harmed by non-magic weapons) with only certain undead traits every turn. Each creature attacked with a negative energy touch attack. The actual creature was concealed by a thick fog (20% miss chance, visibility of 10 feet... we would have to find it first). If you didn't kill the thing in the first round (which would involve finding it), you were surrounded by 10 wisps, then 15, then 20... and only two members of the whole group had valid attacks they knew about... (My cleric and the 'wizard/sorcerer' guy that liked say 'magic missile'... And a Fire Giant... enough said... that didn't go too well with 6 characters with no spells or any such thing left. All without any chance to recuperate or even organize before hand... If that isn't "Death around every corner" I don't know what is. Somehow I survived... but I'm not exactly excited about the Gygaxian feel of my next game. I thought 3E avoided the 'every other step lose a level' thing...[/color] Also... I had the most fun I can ever remember having... everything was awesome. My friend Phil played in a magic tournament that lasted something like 6 hours! I was able to build a Christmas list longer than most of the threads on these boards. [/QUOTE]
