I agree to much can be cumbersome, but to bring it up once in a while reminds folks. Like the dwarven meeting. We talked to then and they could have seen out beaten image ect... not a daily status of Tori smell of BO what would you liek to do this round. But if we are going to enter a town what we look like is a big deal... But its a nice DMs tool to put characters on their toes, a deep pit come sup and they have no rope. ect. or they had a rope but they left back at the lair to empty their pack to put gold in. due to being over ladened. -----Original Message----- From: Johnathan Detrick [mailto:jdetrick@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tue 12/3/2002 2:22 PM To: Riders II Cc: Subject: [dungeoncrawl] Re: Rules I agree with Bobby to a certain point (again, trying to respond to his e-mail is causing my system to crash, because of it's length). Some more realism in the game is good. However, it can go too far. If we begin to track all minutiae of the characters, it can slow things down. When you only play for 120 minutes a week, slowing things down isn't a good idea. I think general things (like Ivan climbing in his armor) should be watched, and the amount that characters carry is always something to keep an eye on. I should point out, that Cullen does not look and smell bad from being in the underdark. He has cantrips that allow him to clean himself and his clothes, so he always looks pretty good. Not as spiffy as he would on the surface, but not too bad. Johnathan Detrick wrote: > I tried to respond to Damon's e-mail, and my computer crashed, due > to the number of replies.
