I had that same experience when I ran this adventure last at GaryCon V (I think---it was caught on film very briefly during Stefan Pokorney's Dwarvenaut film!): the PCs mucked around outside the dungeon quite a bit, never quite getting in. I had planned to twist it around with a King in Yellow reskin at the time, but will save that for some other night now.<br /><br />@Anthony: I did indeed see your 3D WG4 posts (for other curious readers, see <a href="https://www.thebluebard.com/blog-1/the-way-we-really-play-really" rel="nofollow">https://www.thebluebard.com/blog-1/the-way-we-really-play-really</a>, and IIRC there are more on G+ right?). Our regular DM hasn't played or read the G/D modules, so I began prepping them this past summer to fill that gap, sometime. <br /><br />@Melan: BITD I never liked G2 very much (not sure why, really!), but in the responses to Kellri's series G2 received a lot of love, so I'm going to dig into it again with hopefully-fresher eyes. <br /><br />Allan.grodoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11800184312511280050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538114983069980768.post-18429362416408546472018-10-17T13:28:45.824-05:002018-10-17T13:28:45.824-05:00G3 is exemplified by the rooms that have e.g. &quo...G3 is exemplified by the rooms that have e.g. "36 trolls" and then some. Even more so than the first two modules in the series, it is a scenario that gleefully anticipates power-gaming and rolls with it. The odd discoveries also give it a twist that's a strong stylistic contrast to the (relatively) standard giant-killing. I prefer G1 and especially G2, but this one's also impressive.Melanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165894144553629675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538114983069980768.post-35469027403902411402018-10-17T11:12:18.963-05:002018-10-17T11:12:18.963-05:00I have not run this series since high school, but ...I have not run this series since high school, but I wish I could find a place and time to do so... It's truly insane. The sheer number of giants in these modules is beyond the capabilities of most characters that fall into the "approved" level range and these were the modules that dropped the CONs of characters via back-to-life magickry. I don't know if you saw my 3D build of WG4, but that was such a joy to run...and my players were so shell shocked by the hordes that assailed them that they still comment about it to this day.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00887182346953090322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538114983069980768.post-77433106919633252772018-10-17T10:07:18.373-05:002018-10-17T10:07:18.373-05:00Nice post - there's a lot of cool stuff in tha...Nice post - there's a lot of cool stuff in that dungeon! Of coourse when i played it with you as DM we didnt really get past the first hall on account of alerting everyone in the place. Good times! Looking forward to seeing your Ardor discussion - its been something I've loved reading through but have never found any real way to use.<br />ligehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00652431558688176341noreply@blogger.com
