[QUOTE="Older Beholder, post: 8458087, member: 6813585"] One of the players in our group has taken on the DM’s chair for the first time recently. We’re 3 sessions in, it’s a real down to Earth idea he had roughly based on ancient China. One player could no longer make it so we’re down to 3 people playing. The party is made up of a barbarian, fighter and bard, which has added to a low magic feel and has been working well. Last session we were conscripted to defend the Wall of Civilization from the invading hordes in the wastelands beyond. We traveled out to where the endless rains turned to snow. With an army made of mostly untrained commoners, we were told we were there as a deterrent, mostly a show of force. In the night the wall was attacked, a large battle broke out as we tried to hold back invading orcs and goblins led by an Ogre mage. In the morning we went beyond the wall on a scouting mission. Something about the simplicity of the setting has really added to immersion. The same group has been going in another campaign for a couple of years, which is now at level 16, so I think everyone is having fun getting back to basics a little bit, as well as just a change of scenery, new characters, etc...
