[QUOTE="AdmundfortGeographer, post: 1685094, member: 4682"] [b]About "heroes" and stat blocks.[/b] Well, I love to have all the stat blocks available right where I can get them easily. And frankly, at a table surrounded by all the players, their bags of dice, character sheets, and special rulebooks for their special abilities... [b]and[/b] the DM's books, mods, figures, dice, mapgrid... etc. There is simply NOT enough room on the average RPG table to require the DM to have another book laid out on the table. However, what I'd like in every mod is a separate collection of all statblocks all bunched together that can be detached from the printed mod. That way the DM can have the mod laid out behind his screen, while he can have a separate pamphlet to flip through of the mod's statblocks. Lastly, if Monte is going to comment about he overuse of statblocks, the [b]least[/b] he could have done would be to put it in context. The Mad God's Key is a mod that nont only comes out of the Living Greyhawk campaign. It is the stated objective of WotC and the RPGA that the PCs in the Living Greyhawk campaign [b][i]are heroes[/i][/b][i] in the campaign. Not anti-heroes, not antagontists. [b]Every[/b] single author of mods in the LG campaign are required to fit this theme. Over use of heroes? Gimme a break. :) Complaining that Living Greyhawk makes the PCs be heroes is not really the right time for it. That's the whole concept of LG, and was thus unavoidable in the mod. It's like complainaing that all those Planescape accessories always involved the planes and the NPCs all spoke obnoxious slang after the hundredth Planescape product. Duh. What did people think would be there. Do I think it was a silly complaint though, [b]in general[/b]? No. But when you know what you are getting, and then complain about it... just bizarre. *shrug*[/i] [/QUOTE]
