Well, well.  Lookie what we have here.

It's about time you showed yourself, Mulch.  I mean I understand you don't want to be seen in public, and frankly, I don't blame you, but this is the internet man!

(Just Kidding Mulch.  You know I had to harass you for waiting so long to post.)

Congrats!  I would love a job there.  Best of Luck.

Well, the roll was in the open, and I decided to stick to my guns and have the character die.  The other character tried to save the dying one or at least take his body to a priest to get him resurrected, but he ended up not making it out of the dungeon while trying to carry the dead wait of the other character.

We have since moved on to a new campaign, but I would like advice on how to handle a similar situation should it present itself in the future.

I would pick this up just so that i had the new rules.  Something about keeping tabs on one of the first systems i ever played is important to me.

To die.



Somebody was bound to say it.

That was still on the weekend Sprig or during summer break.

We still pull all day and night sessions when we can.  We usually start about 10 or 11 AM on a Sat. and play thru til 3 or 4 AM Sun.

It doesn't look like they are going to be doing any additional supplements to DLoM.  I think they have the Corrum books, but I can't remember whether they are for the D20 system or for the D100 system.  MoreDew has them, I think.

Last I checked DLoM was not the biggest seller, which is upsetting because I think that is why they nixed the Lords of Law and Chaos Supplement book they were going to do for it.

It think that the game is pretty good for the most part.  There are a few things that I dislike, mostly to do with the demon summoning and binding rules.  Because there is no such thing as POW in the D20 rules, to bind a demon you have to sacrifice XP (which I don't mind) and an ability point (which I do mind).  This is entirely contrary to the typical D20 rules, and, as normal magic weapons are a not common in the DLoM world, an injustice to the players who can't use the fun little towys.  In addition, the Invoke and Compel Spell is a Sor/Wiz spell only; clerics can't cast it, which I find entirely contrary to the nature of the world.  This is odd as The Theocrat of Pan Tang, a cross class Cleric Fighter, if I remember, has about 5 bound demons.

Another problem that I have is that all of the NPC have astronomically high attributes, that are entirely unattainable by the normal creation rules.  While I understand that the PC's are not the "heros," who appear in the books, it makes it a little daunting for the players when they see the numbers of the NPCs and compare them to their characters.

Other than that I don't have any real complaints.  Mostly just mechanics.  The world is great.  I have about 6 different campaign ideas that would be a blast for the guys to pursue.  We'll just see where the Lords of Chaos take our players.

Laugh like Balo.
Whisper like Pyray.
Slice with your weapons.
Let the Blood Spray.
Praise Chaos!

Nice Sprig.  Nice.
