[QUOTE="Kanenfawder, post: 3772423, member: 55432"] I just picked up WLD recently, and I'm having a meeting with my 4 players tonight to work on character creation. Everyone's got ideas and roles already, but I'm helping them a little bit -- discouraging the useless skills, encouraging certain things, etc. I'm having everyone take a template or race with a +1 LA, saying that they were sought out by their benefactor to go into the dungeon. This is my second time DMing, and the first time was very weak in actual RP. I've read over many of the suggestions for changes on here, and I'll be trying to implement some of them. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of free time to work on the campaign before each session, so I'll be winging a lot of it, using some well taken notes to keep things as plot-hole free as possible. Three out of the four guys I'm running the campaign for like to play often, and we all like long sessions. So we'll probably be meeting once each weekend for a 12-hour-ish session with a few shorter weeknight sessions where applicable. As I said, I don't have the time (nor do I really have the experience) necessary to tweak a lot of the dungeon. I plan on using butcher paper or something similar for the players create maps and giving them maps of regions as often as I can manage to get it into campaign, simply to speed up the crawl. Anyway, does anyone have any experience with running the dungeon without a lot of customization beforehand? [/QUOTE]
