To date, with the PCs at levels 2-3, there is one magic weapon, a dagger! some arcane scrolls, and that is about it. The PCs are 3 rogues, 1 fighter, 1 cleric. And, I am enjoying it more than those with more magic for a number of reasons. First, there has yet to be the greed fight over who gets what, mainly cause there is so little to get. Second, we are always on edge because we have no mighty magic to enforce our will. We have to role play, conive, convince, make deals, do tasks, in order to get anywhere. Third, what began as a motley crew of solo PCs has bonded like none i have ever been part of, because if we do not, we will not last long. And ,no I do not think we are being 'played' here. This is a reasonable way that things could work out. Those movies which portray thieves, with separate agendas, somehow managing to work together, are reflective of this particular group.Fourth, from the player behind the PC angle, we are not friends, just guys who get together with this DM every couple of weeks to play this game. I think the tension created by low magic has bonded us better than the normal game would have. OK, now i know that half, if not more, of the fun of role playing is the magic, cool, fantastical stuff. and if all my games were like this, well i might not be so happy. But this one is definitely different and more fun than most. jj</blockquote>
