Re: OOC Thread for General Use
In reply to Artifex (msg # 829):
Oh, I know how to play off the cuff. It's the only way I play. What I have trouble with is keeping things "simple," as in "not time consuming." What tends to consume time, I find, is when I have to come up with lots of things that there aren't good, easy rules for. In my main game, that I'm also making up as I go, the players decided to ride a riverboat. I didn't have rules on hand that I liked for that. I could have blocked that, and kept them from doing it, but I prefer not to do that either.
The main answer might be that I need to keep things restricted to dungeons, without touching on overland travel, and be upfront about that so no one takes options that only apply to overland travel.
