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.
Same artist that did the Official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Coloring Album, which is probably the best-looking old-school D&D book of all.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if that was published by this same Bellerophon company?
ReplyDeleteAnd what a nice surprise there's a D&D connection. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteCasey G. It was published by Bellerophon, and it's fantastic. It's also written by Gary Gygax and gives one an interesting look at what an old-style dungeon crawl was like (i.e. a huge party of characters out for treasure, lots of death and running away).
