Message: <blockquote data-quote="tbug" data-source="post: 2834909" data-attributes="member: 8472">I'm running the WLD for the University of Victoria's games club. This means that I knew up front that I'd have a rotating player base, particularly during exams, as well as significant changes in the line-ups at the end of each school year.My solution to this was to create the pill-bug brand. Anyone branded with it can, as a move action, transform into what basically amounts to a marble (though the players prefer the word "pearl"). They can't control when they emerge from marble form, and sometimes they're forced into marble form against their will.Each PC was hired by a <a href="http://www.thegreatriver.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Terrgard.Dubaer" target="_blank">dubaer</a> with some whacked out motivation. (At least three of them were hiring, each with their own dementia involved.) PCs are created on thirty-two points and must be first-level, but depending on how far the party has advanced I'm allowed higher ECL races. The Advanced Bestiary from Green Ronin has been seeing a lot of use. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />They whipped up the western wall of Region A, bummed around a little in Region E, wandered into Region F (where they had a lot of problems and several of them were turned to stone), peeked into Region J, ended up in Region B, and are now back in Region A. They knew that some seriously nasty stuff has been emerging from the portal in the room with the multi-coloured lights, and in fact have just teamed up with three half-fiend flesh harrowers. There's a winged grey render around, which they're assuming is a half-fiend (but is actually a fiendish half-dragon--grey renders don't qualify for the half-fiend template), a fiendish dire bear, and a fiendish digestor. Additionally, there are lots of fiendish corpses. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />At the end of last session they managed to close the portal, but they left a situation that's just going to result in it opening up again before too long.Obviously, they've had lots of adventures in the WLD, but I don't want to make my first post to the thread too long to read. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
