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

"Oh well, they only live once...."

If your really worried about it you could be nice and put a scroll of raise dead, ressurection, true ressurection, or reincarnation in Chapel. So they only live twice.

New Group

I started back in April. My group is playing by post on Yahoo. It is going very slow. They are stuck in A2.
THe party consists of :
Wild Elf Rogue 1
Human Bard 1
Human Sorcerer 1
Human monk 1

They provoked the orcs in A2 and the rogue whipped out his bow and shot one. The three orcs promptly attacked and knocked out the bard and sent the rogue reeling.
I had a lantern archon appear to bring them back to consciousness. The orcs sat back down to rest more.
 

My group started through 4 weeks (sessions) ago.

We started with:
  • Imp
  • Hound Archon
  • Dwarven Priet
  • Rakshasa
  • Human Wizard (from France)
(We use Savage Species, the monsters are extremely few initially). At this point they've cleared all Region A (expect 3 rooms, which they'll certainly hit). The Rakshasa, and his Dwarven fighter replacement have died (to be replaced by a much needed elvin rogue), to Bargdor and a half-fiend dire badger (two replaced a room of dark mantles) respectively.

I think most leveled up to 4th last time, after fighting Longtail. (An interesting fight, considering the fiends that talked Longtail's Imp into openning the portal promised the party's imp power and money to keep it open.) They are systematically searching everything single room, though admittedly going very quickly. I'm concerned they're going to out-level the dungeon.

So far we've had 2 diseased characters, many poisons, 2 cursed characters (from the throne), and now the Imp going to turn into a wererat :-)

Don't give out XP the normal way. I am sticking with the ideas given in the begining of the book, and considering using the level up rooms given ealier in the thread. If I had decided to use the standard XP awards, my group would be about 5 level leaving region A, but this is only because there are seven of them. I am keeping track of the standard XP in addition to how I am awarding it.

Well, the level up room is an interesting idea, but enough of mechanics change to bug my players. Not to mention XP burning spells get complicated.

I've been giving them XP by the EL of the room or the normal CR-way of creatures in it, which ever is lower, and not giving anything for really minor fights or traps. It's mainly a matter of them exploring every square inch of the place. Also they've got better tactics than I do, so I beef up the monsters/add more to make the fights interesting, which just gives them more XP.

Which index are you talking about???

James

These ones I believe :)

http://www.geocities.com/ducktreader/WLD.html

Since the support from AEG on their site is extremely limited (or non-existent if you prefer), RPGMP3.com has opened a forum to discuss errata/FAQ/plot ideas a la Monte's RtToEE boards. It's like this thread... but more organized (hopefully). Come by and check it out! (I'm getting lonely over there).

Thanks for the uber link (yes that is the one.)
Thanks to those who made the index.

I just registered over there, compiling my room replacements.
My last game of banewarrens was tonight, I am working on the missing creatures from the index.

I am working on my lead in story line, they start off in prison and can work for one of three people who will let them out.

Fzoul Chyembral will geas them being the ultimate tyrant.
Manshoon will clone them, causing thier death if they disobay him, with the clone having no memory of the mistake
Count-Paltine Daven will use hypnosis, memory adjustments, and brain washing.

The party is human and evil.

Right now my party is
Wizard (will become an ur-priest)
Rogue (will become an arcane trickster)
Fighter (unique convict prestige class)
Cleric (wants to be a true necromancer)
Cleric (wants to be a master of geas)
Warlock (wants to be a mind bender)
Scout (wants to be a dervish/dualist)
Rogue (wants to be a master thrower)
And one guy will decide the day of the game.

I am leaning toward my own personal NPC as I am making him the appointed (by Fzoul) ruller of the north. People think of it as a folly but Daven plans to use the PC's to gain control of the WLD and all the creatures in it. First he must deal with the renegade zentarium agent Longtail though.

Daven is an Akashic from Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved, his mastery over memory will allow for interesting communications that the party remembers having.

Oh and has anyone come close to creating a Timeline for the WLD from 5,000 years ago when it was built to today.

You're welcome. A quick note that the NPC index hasn't been updated like the monster one. It's a matter of five minutes and being at the right computer at the same time I think about it, and I'll probably get it done some time in the next few weeks.
 

Ok using Pelvo's index I have created a list of monsters found in the monster manual that do not appear in the World's Largest Dungeon.

http://www.rpgmp3.com/modules.php?n...8&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

One creature I was suprized not to find was the Phase spider. Am I just nuts or is this creature actually missing?

I would like to know if any GM has added these creatures to their adventrues and if so to post them in that thread in WLD room format.

I have decided I am going to use them as Event or Random Encoutners rather than in specific rooms within my game but if you do have a room it would be cool. Though I may add the animals to my Region A encoutners
