The most successful campaign I've ever run (still going strong today after two years!) is Pendragon; I just ran a scenario featuring "goblins" that looked more like creatures out of a Bosch painting.<BR/><BR/>My favorite use of the d12 was back in AD&D 2e, where you'd roll a d12+d8 for random encounter tables. 2-20 baby.David Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-10525191395327393762008-06-10T21:43:00.000+08:002008-06-10T21:43:00.000+08:00Dammit.
