World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

[erucsbo]

Heck, if you're looking for something to do, my lot are heading to K and then J. Player maps would be groovy.

The Player map for K on James' site looks ok. J sucks though, so I've knocked up two maps for J - one with secret doors and room numbers removed, the other with areas completely behind secret doors removed. Email me and I'll get you to proof them for me before I send them to James.

Actually, that's a bald faced lie. The wifie just had a baby three weeks ago, so I'm busier than a one armed paper hanger right now.

Congrats - know the feeling (though was a few years ago now).

One of the nicest things about the WLD, which some have complained about but that's another issue, is that the ONLY book you need at your table is the WLD. The entire statblock for every creature is there and it's on the same page. You don't have to flip pages, nor do you have to tote around a bookbag full of books.

Makes me a very happy DM.

And, while the monsters are all entirely SRD, that doesn'T mean that they are stock. Heck, as was mentioned recently, there's a bloody Kraken with WINGS! Now that's cool.

I really want to run Region L, but, I'm so leery of doing a waterbourne adventure.

Also, are the stats for the monsters in the book or will I need other books for the stats?

the stats are in the book under each room description. More details can be found in the SRD. Otherwise, if you have the Monster Manual you can use the flavour text from the descriptions to add to the descriptions you give instead of just using pictures or stating the name of the creatures.

Hi,

Let me start by saying that I have enjoyed reading the post here.

I have been thinking of buying the WLD and want to know is it worth it?

The group that I play with is a hack and slash group, will they enjoy the WLD?

Also, are the stats for the monsters in the book or will I need other books for the stats?

Thanks,
Grimblade

Definatly worth it. We've been playing every week for almost year and are not even half way though the book. Even after you are done there are going to be parts of the book that were not used that you can mine for other adventures.

after 1,500 posts you're still not sure?!?

jesus. do i have to come over and run it personally?

i'm sure someone already answered this, so i'll just stick to the sarcasm

not to mention all the ghoul variants... huh? huh?

okay... it's really just a kraken with wings

sigh

I really want to run Region L, but, I'm so leery of doing a waterbourne adventure.

tell me about it

this is my least favorite region and i didn't even want to put it here, but the whole marketing plan to include everything meant putting a tojanda (rolls eyes) in a big pool of water

a kraken in a well just wouldn't have worked

i really think this only works as a seperate adventure (unless you're really using the timeline from region K/L) or as some weird semi-finale with the PCs finding an exit under the lake or to the east

Quick question. Are we allowed to post stats for Longtail after having him gain a couple levels, and then a couple more and then a template as well? Id love to write up what Im doing with him and if I can include the stats too that would be awesome, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes.

Why wouldn't you be?
I would doubt AEG would complain about copyright infringement for it. Especially on a thread that has probably sold a few dozen copies of the module.
Now if you did it with every boss in the module...

I posted a Longtail variant that got wiped in the Crash, and nobody bit my head off, so I'm guessing it's just fine.

And I completely endorse WLD. The stat blocks being RIGHT THERE is the best part. Granted, I have to proofread the stat blocks sometimes, or at least jam it into eTools to make sure the math checks out, but that's much easier than flipping through multiple books.

technically, that's SRD material... not sure i could stop you, really

as for incorrect stat blocks, even if the numbers are off here and there, i think just using the stat blocks as is has a nominal impact on game play, but an immense impact on how much time you spend prepping and checking stats.

who is going to notice is the AC of an orc is off by 1?

no one.

who is going to notice if the DM takes 15 minutes getting ready for each round of combat?
