This thread is to tell people about a pretty unique take on the AoW AP.
Little about me: Longtime DM, 26+ years experience playing
Of my players: Between the three of them, at least as much experience and one of them is traditionally the player that always picks the one plan you didn't prepare for as a DM
I decided to run this in Greyhawk, which is universally despised by everyone in the group, including the DM, but I just wanted to try something new for everybody. We play in either homegrown, FR, or Dragonlance, and have experimented with Eberron.
I tell my players that in this campain, they're not just saving the world, they're saving the multiverse, so I allowed them to each pick a character from a different setting. This makes our party breakdown a warforged wizard, a human paladin from a homegrown setting, a Irda bard from Dragonlance, and a halfling rogue from Forgotten Realms, the DM PC.
I'd like to tell you how they've done through the WC and get a little feedback on what you think.
First, I'd like to give you an example of F'ing Players, and I will pose it in the form of a question.
When fighting in the Three Faces of Evil, did anyone else have a player, after killing the dire boar, come up with the idea of using the animate dead scroll found in Filch's lab on said dire boar? If so, did they then proceed to turn it loose on the rest of the temple of Hextor? It definitely took some fancy footwork to get this done without the paladin knowing, but they did, and I must say, the results were spectacular.
I would like your thoughts and comments on this, and would anyone be interested in reading a campaign journal breakdown on this? If nothing else, it will give players out there all sorts of ideas on how to drive their DMs insane.
