Group was in a lighthouse where I had repeatedly and explicitly mentioned the many rooms full to the ceiling with fifty-gallon casks of lamp oil, the other rooms full of sand (to control any fires) and the two massive metal containers full of the stuff in the room they were in (with piping leading up to the lamp itself).
Spellcaster laid down a wall of fire that passed straight through one of those canisters on the map. No one so much as raised an eyebrow while he did it.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
The PCs were fine. The passengers strapped into their seats near the hijacker... Not so much. Total Recall-like civilian body count.
ReplyDeleteHad something similar happen in a DnD game once.
