All but a few cities are in the hands of the enemy; fortunately, one of the PCs had a good cover story (being a mercenary formerly employed by said enemy), while the others were played off as his slaves.<br /><br />I expect to see some of this in the Traveller game I'm playing in currently as well, since we're now wanted men in human space, but we need human-compatible foodstuffs...jedavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08586249502818922886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094937232522894470.post-3713937233224468312011-11-06T07:04:56.700-08:002011-11-06T07:04:56.700-08:00Thieves being my preferred class, I would naturall...Thieves being my preferred class, I would naturally go with stealth/subterfuge/infiltration whenever possible.Hawkmansdaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04113828607067318291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094937232522894470.post-2326514103733239482011-11-02T09:05:24.341-07:002011-11-02T09:05:24.341-07:00I greatly enjoy situations where PCs have to sneak...I greatly enjoy situations where PCs have to sneak about and use cunning over one long string of meaningless melees.

In last night's game, against much more powerful monsters, the fighters went up front, fighting on the defensive, while those behind pelted them with arrows.<br /><br />In this Sunday's game we'r likely to be facing a dragon, and we're only level 2, so much thought is going into how we bypass it, but as yet, nothing concrete had been decided.Simon Forsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243845335993440168noreply@blogger.com
