hey Wild elf genetics what can I say, -----Original Message----- From: jimkaren@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jimkaren@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tue 11/26/2002 8:26 AM To: dungeoncrawl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Subject: [dungeoncrawl] Re: Tuesday morning thoughts I also had fun. I think this is the best campaign we've ever had, personally. The characters almost play themselves - honestly, I'd rather not have one of my characters take chances of ticking off other characters like Kage does, but it's the way he is. Sort of like how I think Alturo would be more imposing if he wasn't such a geek, but I just can't killl that side of him. And what's with Tori's green hair, anyway? Punk rock died years ago! :) > I had a great time last night, the roleplaying was at a high.As for teh tension comment its hard to hit tension when the groups in an internal heated battle and are interupted by monsters. They were annoyed and just wanted to get the fight over to continue fighting amoungst themselves.Cool game and cool roleplaying.
