haiiro said:I've been thinking about the issue of monetary treasure -- and even mundane treasure with monetary value -- because I don't get the impression that the PCs get a chance to leave the dungeon and go shopping.
If that's the case, then most of the mundane treasure becomes just so much dungeon dressing, unless it's tied into the plot -- or has alternate uses, like making silvered weapons. Cool.
Folks, I'm very late to this thread, but I just got WLD for my birthday so I'm rushing to catch up.
The comment above got me thinking about a nice shameless plug opportunity. If you don't already own the print version of The Book of Unusual Treasures or any of Phil Reed's PDFs, you might strongly consider picking them up. The treasures within beat coins any day, and they are very descriptive.
One nice advantage of the print version is that the index contains all of the treasures sorted by gp value. It's a snap to run your finger down the list of treasures and come up with a replacement for "50 gp."

The link above also has a link to a PDF of the item list index.

I have no ties with Bad Axe games, so this isn't a shameless plug, but I do think that the Book of Unusual Treasures is a neat book and would certainly be appropriate in this case - especially the special arcane spell components that non-wizard PCs (and the Dungeon NPCs) may think is part of dungeon "trash" and debris.

Okay, the "player's maps" for Regions A through E are freshly updated and can be sent to anyone who wants them. Just send an email to thecrimsonscribe @ gmail dot com or jamesbeadle @ sanguinesentinels dot com (I hope you don't mind me listing you Twofalls) and we will forward them on. Please be aware that each map weighs in at a hefty 2.5Mb and will be an email by itself. I find that for printing A3 or "Poster" sized paper works best. Single sheet is next to unreadable and "full size" (same as the originals) is more hassle than most people want.

Hey, if anyone's had a permanent character death in WLD, add 'em to the graveyard. I can't believe only 1 or 2 PCs have met their demise in this massive dungeon!

Despite my best efforts (well they have been restrained by reason) none of my players have died yet. 2 have gone negative, but they haven't died a permanent death yet.
I'm sure that's coming up later in Region A.

Instant Insanity
Hello everyone. I've finally decided on the path I will use through this monster. A,E,I,M,N, and then O. I try to stay one region ahead in prep, and my group has just entered region E in the very SW corner through the secret door in the NW of A. E is completely prepped, so its time to turn an eye on I.
It’s... slimy. It’s all about flesh halls, twisted experiments and insanity. So to honor the theme, as soon as the PC's step foot into Region I, I'm going to introduce the sanity rules on pg. 194 of the UA. This ought to give them pause. Also, the players should be level 6 by the time they hit this area. Since the region is rated at levels 7-9 for 4 characters, 6 6th level characters should be perfect. They will leave level 8 if their habit of hitting every single room in a region holds, and knowing these anal adventurers, it will.
At that level I need to start adding in some heavier artillery magic wise. Some decent magical items and armors. Also, I worry about them being able to vanquish either of the Twins in the area at the low power levels they are at. It's very possible for them to hit one of the twins within the first two rooms of the level (that being Anguish in I98), and it would make mince meat out of the party at 6th level. So I need to pump them with some decent stuff in region E, or early in I. I was thinking about putting in a minor artifact of some kind in this region, but was wondering if there were any artifacts currently in the game. Jim?
Also, I haven't read regions M-O yet. Anything I should know about them while messing with I? We wont be running any WLD sessions before the turn of the year. The WLD was really supposed to be a game we only used when I needed a break from our campaign, and its been so much fun we have focused on it for months now. But the guys are making noise about wanting to get back to their characters in the Dreams of Glory campaign, so we are going to head that way for a couple months.
