i have a vinyl battle mat that I've stored away crumpled up like a piece of paper. here's my solution and it works every time. roll it up like it should have been shipped. then flatten it out and roll it up in the opposite way (if you get my meaning.) continue along this course until it's flattened again.
A friend of mine was asking how my preparations for the next adventure were going (we all havent played for about 3 years due to player commitments [guys had girlfriends aka ball and chains that didn't like them playing once a fortnight for 3 hours]) anyways not much has been planned so far since we have a new member who we're going to try and introduce soon. so we're talking away about DM play styles and how he's having such a tough time with his current DM who literally play as though it's DM trying to off the PC's as fast as possible. my own play style is more the role of story teller and tour guide. it's no fun if the adventure ends at first level EVERY game. sure it's sometimes cool and can be a wakeup call for players who are getting bored or too cocky, but i try to avoid killing off PC's who have thought through good plans. anyways "That Guy" basically won't allow any new rules suggestions, even if they streamline the rules (eg Pathfinder RPG vs 3.5 SRD) or even give the players a tiny chance of surviving to see 3rd level. the worst encounter I think they had was barely getting through a few waves of hobgoblins and ogres attacking a city. only to find out that the hobgoblins were part of an army of good resistance movement trying to get rid of the oppressive government. |
