[Tuesday Map] Crypt of the Child Kings

As all Dyson maps are pretty awesome. Something about this one jumped out at me. I love the decent into the crypt as you walk over the crypt entrance itself with the alter being the party's focus for their attention. Source: [Tuesday Map] Crypt of the Child Kings

Source: [Tuesday Map] The Architect’s Dungeon (working with the Dungeon Architect Cards) I have had my eye on cards like these and a few others.

I was pretty impressed with this weeks Game Master Tip on the Mary Sue with Wil Wheaton. For one thing, as much as possible I believe saying “Yes” to whatever crazy plots or similar your players come up with is rather important. When you do so, it help your players feel like a part of the world and show that their ideas are being validated. A good example of me improvising on the fly like this was with the safe house security features a player came up with in the Night’s Black Agents one shot, Nightfall.

I was particularly enthused with how far Wil went with this, when he actually modified the rules for a druids companion animal from another system (DnD?) to provide Aankia with her robot pal, Jeremy. Most importantly, he did so in a way without complicating the game in any extraneous manner – adding…
