Yes, I was caught a bit flat-footed by the players' decision and decided to make use of the map and basic outline of a module I had handy and would otherwise not have used. It worked strangely well, even if I changed I fair number of details to bring them in line with the campaign.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-83758718623225171632010-05-01T21:17:39.258-04:002010-05-01T21:17:39.258-04:00Ha!

Unexpected/unplanned teleportations can be so much fun as the party tries to figure out where they are. In my experience, the best is the first time it happens to a group, and it dawns on them that they're "not in Kansas, anymore." I still recall the look on my players' faces when they finally realized they'd been teleported from one end of Oerik to the other. :)<br /><br />security word: "taltesto," a hastily improvised command word for a wand.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254215329246851683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-37036282667436306522010-04-15T14:11:23.511-04:002010-04-15T14:11:23.511-04:00Another great post.

Checking your posts, I see that back around session 33-34 you mentioned your game was drifting into "proto-AD&D," in part due to the Advanced Edition Companion. I also see your Dwimmermount posts now carry the LL "tag."<br /><br />Has your game now switched over to full-blown LL-play thanks to the AEC? Is this something that was purposefully adopted by your group or just your interpretation of where you now stand with "gradual gaming evolution?" Do you intend to post about the transition?JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.com
