He's probably better off buying up Survival (Swampland) over default (which is a 16), and having some other people take it, too.<br /><br />What's amusing is that it's very likely few will take Survival (Swampland), but next time they're in a swamp they'll claim they should get an improved default because of their experience in the Cold Fens. You know, they should learn for free, just like how I give out free points in combat skills, ST, spells, etc. because you were in places where you needed those.<br /><br />Mad Magazine did a comic feature demonstrating what "Chutzpah" is that would fit my players sometimes. :)Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-76918998000970016332021-04-22T18:53:11.853-04:002021-04-22T18:53:11.853-04:00Good thing it's fun since it sounds pretty ine...Good thing it's fun since it sounds pretty inevitable if they want to continue on this route.

He has five quirks that don't really come up much, including one I don't think he exemplifies (he's a Dreamer? Or Proud? Or addicted to Beer, which I've yet to see him carry or drink?) and a special hatred of trolls which drives his actual in-game decisions that isn't on the sheet.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-4184137077402968512021-04-20T18:18:34.669-04:002021-04-20T18:18:34.669-04:00Lots of fun!

Something I occ..."More less a hexcrawl."<br /><br />Something I occasionally like to pry into (but usually forget) is... aside from whether you'll suffer agoraphobia or claustrophobia, what do you consider the primary differences between "megadungeon" and "hexcrawl"?<br /><br />To me, they're about the same (again aside from one generally being indoors and one generally being outdoors). They seem to fill most of the same requirements and check most of the same boxes.evileeyorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296632217198088455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-50957080392561961272021-04-20T09:37:33.010-04:002021-04-20T09:37:33.010-04:00Hi Peter!
