Also I imagine most ancient military leaders lacking the miniatures that we have today so they had to resort to real people. It's a good thing that we have pewter and plastic now because I don't know how I could convince a few thousand people to go to battle for my casual entertainment.
Adventure idea: protect the ritual room so that the righteous ritual takes place so that the gods aren't angered enough to unleash the monsters on the populus. A sect of freedom fighters tries to stop the ritual thinking they are saving the individuals but neglect the greater good.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/

ReplyDeleteDid they actually allow cameras in the exhibit, or are you being surreptitious?

ReplyDeleteit is nice they laid out the encounter numbers. which # is the human sacrifice room? you got to stop them!
ReplyDeleteKeith Hoovestol you assume that the heroes WANT to stop the sacrifice. The good Mayan gods may require them to take place.
