[QUOTE="Seule, post: 1050715, member: 407"] Story from Origins '03. The DM sat down at our table of Living Greyhawk, and gave this as her introduction: "I don't play LG, because I don't like it and it sucks. I run it to get into the Con. The adventure sucks too." At least she didn't try to kill us all, as another DM I heard about did with every table he ran. It was a pretty disheartening opening however. Thankfully, with a good table, and not bad mod (from what I saw), and she actually being pretty good, the mod was fun. On the subject of Living Greyhawk: LG has tried different treasure distribution and purchase rules over the years, and what it uses now is balanced, fair, and leads to a total lack of antagonism at the table. Various people think it could use tweaks for balance, mostly in what things are available with what frequency, but on the whole it works well, for (as far as I know) the largest RPG campaign ever run, by a wide margin. The campaign staff is responsive, and being primarily volunteers, really do have the best interests of the players at heart. If someone has a problem with a DM, player or scenario, I'd suggest reporing it first to a Triad member, then to a Circle member. If Endgame was really that bad (I have no idea), then the writer should probably be told, as I've seen many messages from him, and he seems like a nice, reasonable guy. I'd also suggest not condemning the mod before reading it. It's quite possible that the DM was either in error or was hardballing it for you, or you were just unlucky. LG is not my favorite Living campaign, but I believe it's a good one, and I play it the most. I encourage people to give it a try. --Seule [/QUOTE]
