A lot of Felltower has been cleaned out- we left the Draugr alone, but I really hope to clean them up next time Vryce and Hamilcar are both around- and there's a lot of new territory to explore, which is great. But the evil temples have all been wiped out. If we knew there was a snake cult somewhere past the gnolls, for example, it would be easier.<br />We know the six-fingered cultists are down there, but are they devil worshipers?<br /><br />Hopefully we will find out Sunday!Thomas Pluckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008022962076648740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-24495024227512219682018-02-21T19:45:39.476-05:002018-02-21T19:45:39.476-05:00It's 100% accurate, though.It's 100% accurate, though.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-39819919495118298252018-02-21T18:07:20.942-05:002018-02-21T18:07:20.942-05:00/ba-dum-tssshhhhhh/ba-dum-tssshhhhhhevileeyorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296632217198088455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-78252628622834962822018-02-21T16:35:53.858-05:002018-02-21T16:35:53.858-05:00My mind is going two places at once with mom-dunge...My mind is going two places at once with mom-dungeon, and I'm not sure which is worse.Douglas Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292678529266123501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-8832171084991077892018-02-21T15:21:58.492-05:002018-02-21T15:21:58.492-05:00No danger of that.

Player desires, to some extent, can materialize these items in the dungeon. If the only way a steelwraith morningstar will happen is a custom order, saying “no custom orders” sucks.<br />2. There is a functionally useful way for players to direct searches for such items.<br /><br />Basically, a bunch of research rolls leading to “The lord of the mushroom forest is said to have one, it can be reached through the well past the moss caverns” is cool, whereas “Well, I guess you’d better hope you find one!” is basically the equivalent of “it functionally doesn’t exist, unless it suddenly does”, which means you can’t really plan for much of anything.Archon Shivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161660999691918584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-31132828256174962182018-02-21T12:27:52.752-05:002018-02-21T12:27:52.752-05:00It is a dungeon-centric game.

If you have to adventure in the dungeon to gain what you need the whole group is involved in the main fun of the game. Plus, spending money has never been an issue. Lack of money often is. That is in the dungeon, too.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-44571188488386202682018-02-21T10:31:32.947-05:002018-02-21T10:31:32.947-05:00But the only way to get money in your campaign is ...But the only way to get money in your campaign is adventuring, right? I'd lean towards making the McGuffin high priced, perhaps obtainable through normal adventuring (i.e. "it's on the fifth level, past the sleeslaks"). Saying there's only one way to get that resource seems railroady to me. Also, each of those other scenarios (black markets, cults, wizards) sounds like an adventure in its own right!Ben Thulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842269485655641406noreply@blogger.com
