How have other DM's been suppling the pc's? or have you found that the basics are provided.
This hasn't been too much of a problem in my game, there has been a high character turn over, so except in a few cases, they get the dead characters equipment, plus the new PC's arrive with equipment up to the standard starting gold. None of the PC's have any crafting skills or feats.
With the high turnover, to get new characters into the game so the players are waiting around bored, I have had teleport traps scattered around the world, so one minute they are examining a valuable gem, next they are in a prison (minus the gem of course!).
Today's session was deadly. They are 5th / 6th level and in region I. A dark naga gave them a good fight, but a badly placed fireball took out one PC. She nearly killed several others (they were no threat after strength dropped to 4!). And then because of the warped healing in this region, the next day one PC raged, another was confused, and another just went insane! Another PC died in that little fight while the confused one spent the battle alternativly running away and gibbering.
Thanks for creating and posting the players maps, I run the game with the aid of a projector and it makes a great tool. Is there any chance of creating them as images instead of PDF files? I lose a bit of quality exporting to a jpg file for use with the projector.
