The World's Largest Dungeon has killed my Conan game!

[Iron_Chef]

I will never understand the two-dimensional "party kill" style of GMing.

Not dissing anyone; I just don't get where it's "fun"...

If you've ever played "HeroQuest" the GM is referred to as the "Evil Wizard Player" and his job is to send monsters after the players and TRY to kill them, LOL. Of course, that is a boardgame (and a damn fine one at that). In an RPG, trying to kill the party (rather than just challenge them) is a waste of everybody's time.

I think the point our DM was trying to make was not "I'll get to kill my PC's", but "This sounds like a really dangerous and challenging dungeon! With great risks come great rewards! HUZZAH!"

Anyway you don't seem disappointed anymore to play WLD and that's the best of it. You even seem to enjoy it.

I was never disappointed to be playing WLD.

I WAS disappointed to NOT be playing Conan.

Well, if you don't want to see all your cunning plot-writing go to waste, you can always run a game online

Either that or just change you mind mis-stream and lie about it to you r players.

"...oh no...I had that planned all along...pretty cool huh?"

I do it all the time...I call it "George Lucasizing"...

:lol:

Tricky, if he isn't actually DMing the replacement game...

But as I said, if you wanted to run your plot in an online game, I'm sure you'd find some willing and keen players.

The worlds largest Dungeon could easily take PC's from 1st to 40th or more levels. It is stated in the initial system that PC's don't gain more experience for every Orc they kill to stop that happening.

Basically the Dungeon has got stories and a whole ecology built in but for long term appeal, Nah...I think not. I got it mistakenly and have never used it. It would only be good if there were three players because the corridors are too tight.

Overall of very little interest to conan players.

The World Largest Dungeon...
34 years of Roleplaying evolution to end up with this? How sad...

C'mon! Sad is when you have to bury a loved one. The World's Largest Dungeon is a product you can buy or leave on the shelf.

I'm a realist when it comes to the undeniable fact that roleplaying is a game. And the game must always go on!
