I want to knock the entire altar over!"<br /><br />Response A: "What?! That's way too heavy dude. Sorry."<br /><br />Response B: "Damn, you can do it but it's going to be tough. Roll 5 dice under your ST. One other person can help by adding half their ST. But if you fail, a green slime in the cave ceiling will drop down on you. Cool?"<br /><br />Which is more fun for the players?Chris Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17115967793716945881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206657754721636993.post-4000059251626600212010-03-29T11:46:59.507-07:002010-03-29T11:46:59.507-07:00Thanks, guys!

For my purposes, I'm going to use some stuff I've already written here, be the eyes and ears of the PCS:<br />(http://blog.microdungeons.com/2010/03/eyes-and-ears-of-player-characters.html)<br /><br />and make the dungeon world real:<br />(http://blog.microdungeons.com/2010/03/making-dungeon-world-real.html)<br /><br />Vincent has "make the characters lives not boring" as an agenda. I think maybe that's already built into the idea of going down into the dungeon looking for trouble, so maybe it doesn't need to be a DM agenda. I'm still pondering that.<br /><br />@Russel cite away!
