This was very Tolkien inspired.I used Donjon to randomly generate the dungeon. This resulted in way too many locked doors and not enough goblins. It also left the whole thing disjointed - each encounter only made sense on it's own, nothing had any context, making the stakes rather bland. The all-dwarf party helped bring some coherence to the game, and caused some interesting variations in character types (the rogue and the sorcerer, specifically). I was using xp as written. This worked fine for me - there were generally enough encounters for the pc's to use their new stuff before the next level.The game did fall apart after a few sessions, though, for several reasons but I think the random dungeon level was a big one. It was more tedious than exciting.</blockquote>
