Re: [RPG]: A4: In the Dungeons of the Slavelords, reviewed by Lev Lafayette (4/3)
That was one of those modules that got me thinking, "Gee, Conan the Barbarian wouldn't have much of a problem here," and realizing that PC power isn't based on them, but on their stuff. Nowadays, I prefer a system where it's not your equipment -- it's you.
And, we just used the 1-20 "to hit" tables with AC running across the top (I think that's how they looked." The "Glancing Blow, Strike Again" unarmed tables were kind of "meh." We just hit and rolled for damage -- and ran.
After a first run-through, I worked up a random table and decided there were some encounters that needed to be there (static), and some other encounters that were random. All based on dramatic necessity. I thought the myconids were neat (Dr. Who caliber neat) and had them encounter them, no matter which way the characters went.
