hey marl

i think that was a pretty decent price for that. as mentioned, take out B1-9 and the AC5 sheets, you got a pretty decent lot imo.

But it was a labor of love.  :wink:

  I thought that the basic idea behind D3 was brilliant. I still like it. However, I can never get my players to warm up to the idea of an evil city where good guys are outlaws. I think they miss the feeling of having a safe have to run home to. They never want to linger in the hog trough of adventure that is the Vault of the Drow.  8)

You know, I have not read that module since I ran it. Time to take it out of its armor and dosome late night reading.  

Note: The entire party was killed in the vault, including my character (was being used as an npc). The epic quest ended in a haze of gore and flame...

The seller neglected to mention that 2 of the sets(Wrath of Immortals & Astromundi Cluster) were still in shrink.  I guess I dont have to pay $175 to get shrinked WoI off of Creep after all.

I didn't penalize the players, since the fighter was acting totally in character. In fact, I might have penalized him if he meekly stepped aside.
I think the general idea of the the GDQ series is anonymity and stealth. That is not to say that you can't kick giant ass occasionally. But unless the party is overly powerful, there are just too many threats to make it all the way thru by force. At least, there should be if properly DMed.

    So long as the party does not attack drow nobles directly, they should be able to blend into the drow city scene...murdering local denizens along the way.

    My players ran into all kinds of comical and deadly trouble in the Vault.

    That must have been a fun group, Mike.  

    My players were so frightened by the time they reached the Vault that they spent lots of time hiding in the mushroom forest and arguing about what to do.  

    They finally went into the Drow city, where they watched in derision as one very unpopular Lawful Good cleric was charmed and taken away by a succubus.

    They fought a Nycadaemon (Mezzodaemon?  Which one was tougher?) and got into all kinds of unintended trouble.

    I distinctly remember one high level fighter-magic user who was being held in the House Eilservs dungeon.  He assumed that he was far underground and decided to dimension door 300' up at a right angle.  The other characters were watching the estate, trying to rescue the mage, when they saw him appear up in the air and plummet to his death.    

    By the time the characters got to the Fane they were jaded and edgy.  They wiped out Lolth's material form in a battle which left everyone in the party insane, berzerk or comotose.  They went on to kill Lolth in Queen of the Spiderweb Pits.  She is still considered dead in my campaign, to this day...gone these 25 years passed!  God I'm old.

...he was always stealing the best treasure under the rest of the party's noses as they fought all day long with each other.

Now that's a smart player

did alot of travelling  over the holidays, visiting family in various cities.  not too much luck (except for a SW GAZ12 i was happy to find) until long island a couple days before coming home.  stopped by another game store, didn't see much, but figured i'd ask about old stuff.  the owner responded "yeah, i have some of that, but it's all the way in the basement, it would take like an hour to get." to which i responded "that's ok, i'll be back in an hour, you go get it."   came back an hour later and he had some stuff layed out.  i asked if he'd brought it all.  "most of it" he said, "there's not too much left down there".  i said "ok, i'll go looking through this, you go get the rest."  he was sweating and breathing heavy and not too happy, but i was busy looking through the piles and didn't care.  end result:

What place on Long Island was this?  I didn't think there was anyplace left... and since you've already cleaned it out there's no harm in sharing now.

I just had to send out a  :) Woo Hoo  to dsaunders for his dragon horde score!  Nice work.
