True Story: I ran a dungeon crawl using Dread once wherein I managed to get the party to try to swim across a giant, underground, flooded hall. Halfway through things got tense when they realized there were gators swimming in the hall with them.
When they realized the gators were armed with spears, they lost their shit and fled.
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/
Lizardmen. For when the party gets to thinking they're just a little too clever with infravision. :p
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite Trampier drawings ever.
ReplyDeleteLizardmen and gnolls are my favorite things. And owlbears.
ReplyDeleteThough I admit I call them Lizardfolk. I also call Devils Baatezu and Demons Tanar'ri.
Who the hell gets sick of orcs? >:(
ReplyDeleteDaniel Swensen my PC's are heading to the Tomb of the Lizard King. So they're about to get a vampire lizard king to the face.
ReplyDeleteBret Gillan Lair to lair salespeople. :(
ReplyDeleteLair-to-lair trap salesbeings are the worst. Always dumping acid or poison darts on your floor of 5'x5' stone tile...
ReplyDeleteOnce you've had them fried, grilled, sautéed, dried, poached and fricasseed, they can become a bore, Bret Gillan
