DM spice alert

[Lyvathar]

Oh no someone's about to make my day more interesting and give and my party personal attention for while, not to mention some extra loot! You should warn me about it! >.<

[Eddie Walker]

Well uhh I'm going to go and say thank you to the DM's that add spice, even  for some of the spice where I'm in an entire party that gets wiped out, several times over.  

The only time I dislike DM involvement is when Perm death is a possibility and that's more the fact I've likely begun growing attached to said PC and as most of the time DM's let you know if there's a fair chance of perm death, I'm fine with that even.

I'd say keep up the good work, particularly to whoever the evil jerk was that added a burrowing Minotaur to the Well quest a few days back... that thing was nasty :)

The BURROWER was not to be trifled with!

I guess, until he died.

[Dr Dragon]

As someone who has died repeteadly to DM quests, and DM spice, Died repeteadly involving alchemy and other chaotic situations.


I say BRING ON THE SPICE!

Some people like it, others don't, most with moderation, we know.

Though, I've yet to see a situation where the pcs aren't warned occly in some way. Perhaps someone forgot to, most likely you missed the clue. At the end of the day it's no biggy.

Spiced or not, remember:
- casual metagaming is bad

- pcs can and should flee sometimes

- use consummables without counting and you usually get through hot spots. Hoard them and risk probable death,

- when a dm's on possessing a single creature, maybe trying another tactic than casual video game buffing/slashing is worth a try. Things like bluff, persuade, intimidation, traps, or anything your creativity comes up with, well, with a dm on is the time to shine. Orcs, gnolls, trogs, goblins... they speak, you know. Especially if you've butchered their tribe, they've reason to listen.

In the end, we don't spice to kill, though we may kill spicing.

On this note, locking topic as the point got across.
