[QUOTE="monboesen, post: 3224379, member: 4647"] The internet is always a tricky place for me to state my opinion in a clear way. So I'll try again. I am enjoying the story very much, just as I enjoyed the last stories by Lazybones who I consider a gifted writer of sword and sorcery tales :) But I would enjoy it even more if it [U]either[/U] dropped the pretense of being written with the D&D engine running underneath (no more Rogues gallery, less identifiable spells and magic, less "round", "full attack" and "turn" feel) [U]or[/U] stuck closer to realistic outcomes by that D&D engine. Right now IMO it is somewhere in between, and that lessens my enjoyment. Anyway it could just be that my grasp of the D&D rules are flawed and there are reasonable D&D explanations (rather than litterary ones) as to how the doomed bastards can keep winning fights that by the D&D engine looks improbable or down right impossible to me. In that case I would like for Lazybones to lift the hood for a minute and show what is going on mechanics wise that lets them win. [/QUOTE]
