So they'd say to me "you've <i>never</i> been to X" (where X is pretty much the monument or tourist site of your choice) and I would blush and say "nope, never."<br /><br />I've probably visited more sites there since I moved away than I did when I lived there.Chris C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08655640273250716377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-37796116306244238952014-06-20T01:02:14.979-04:002014-06-20T01:02:14.979-04:00With my dungeons, a common theme is it's a pla...With my dungeons, a common theme is it's a place from centuries ago that was abandoned, and someone recently moved in. That plus some secret doors and traps, and remembering that almost everyone is a 0-level person who just wants to hoe their beans in peace, this normally explains things well enough.

Normals would have fear and the fear of death preventing them from entering a place of interest. In PA i am not afriad of an Orc smashing me in the face.<br /><br />In our roleplaying experience it is very hard to one shot a dungeon or other encounter. Much rest and some times a tatical retreat to regroup are required. <br /><br />I am sure that there is a whole sub culture of sub par adventures out there that hear the Tomb of Horrors was just cleaned out by the Dragon adventure team and say let us go see what they left behind or missed.<br /><br />I believe the %of adventures to the numbers of places of interest would determine how often the would be already explored. <br /><br />This topic brings out several good ideas. a level 1-2 dungeon that was a level 5-7 dungeon that got cleared out. <br />Wandering monsters of other adventure teams.<br />encounters of adventures trying to solve the room already.<br />and of course the corpses of failed adventures.CritSystemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082838809946542788noreply@blogger.com
