[QUOTE="Blackbrrd, post: 5063929, member: 63962"] One DM I had made a keep in Rolemaster. It was about 10' by 10' with a enclosed courtyard, stable and main keep. We pointed it out and he doubled the size to a generous 20' by 20'. One of the players who had a bard character made up a song about this keep that I still remember, and it's like 10 years ago. (It rhymes in in Norwegian: "I Berters dal ligger Berters slott, det er ikke stort det er ikke flott, det er kanskje noe han har fått?", roughly translates to "In Berter's valley lies Berter's castle, it isn't large, it isn't nice, he probably got it as a gift") My biggest personal failure was in the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil when I thought it would be a good idea to set the level 8 sorc and level 14 evil madness cleric in the same room. In addition the sorc had used the alarm spell to give them a head-warning if the PC's entered the area. The cleric summoned two dire bears, got hasted and started the combat using destruction and disintegrate on two characters (who died) and followed up casting confusion on the rest of the party, except for one character who grabbed the confused gnome and teleported away. That was the end of a campaign that had gotten to level 11. You might say that I overdid the encounter and that I should have just exchanged the cleric with something else. Save or die is just so lame. In addition I got so annoyed by the dungeon crawling that I haven't DM-ed one for 6-7 years now. :p [/QUOTE]
