Meltdown

Good Lord, my weekly game/playtest has melted down into some misshapen slag heap that pretty nearly demands a complete new beginning. The summary:

The game has been on a break for about 8 months; one of my players ran a d20 Modern campaign so I can recharge and actually play a character again. We restart my campaign, and it was my understanding that the PCs will continue on the main thread. Instead, PCs storm what is clearly the final encounter of a good-sized side trek which they were going to leave unfinished. I had warned them repeatedly for months that this encounter was a potential party-wipe situation. Fools rush in and all that. What transpired wasn't a party-wipe. It was much worse.

Interesting...

This is something I should spend more time looking into: Print on Demand. (via The 20' by 20' Room)

Resolution

The year-end insanity of loan documentation is over. Let the blogging recommence!

Low Magic Enemies

Note in final product that if you play under the old regime of an extremely low-magic world, then the vast majority of opponents should be human since monsters have too great of an advantage due to magic levels. CRs for monsters would have to be increased to balance out their increased difficulty due to the lack of magic able to be employed by player characters. Magic items would have to be created by clerics and priests, as well.
