No criticism intended, Ways. When the battle is raging and our lives are on the line, I'm scraping and clawing for any advantage. But when it's over, man how exhilarating was it to be a part of that fight knowing that your character could die at any moment, even if you've been in the game for literally years? Having a "Deus Ex" like Guntrum the Giant might have taken some of the excitement out of that fight. Your game is really worlds different than any other PbP I've experienced, and for the better.waysoftheearth wrote:re: Guntram's bean... assuming he ate a bean on the first round, then grew to giant size on the second round, he could potentially have scattered the wargs on the third round. The outcome may have been more assured, but I don't think it would have been dramatically different. That aside, I usually prefer for the active players to take the spotlight, as it were, while the NPC types play second fiddle.

How long does the effect last? If we only get a few turns out of it, and then the ones transformed are exhausted and have to be carried, it might work against us in the end...waysoftheearth wrote:Now there's a plan!ehiker133 wrote:How many of those beans are left?

Although giants move the same rate as Men (12"), they are certainly less impeded by obstacles--including heath--and can carry a lot more unencumbered.
