You can have number of ways to make a character tie in, depending on how old the journal is. Siblings and cousins, long lost uncles and aunts, and the descendants come together to find out what really happened.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635946157371573756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983020354310042363.post-2741500829227807682016-09-30T10:08:04.223-07:002016-09-30T10:08:04.223-07:00I was one of the players in the mentioned game. We...I was one of the players in the mentioned game. We were playing as a rather inexperienced group of adventurers (we were experienced players all), and our characters payed the price. I was slightly upset to lose that first character (I had developed quiet an extensive backstory deeply tied to the history of the campaign), but overall I understood what Tim had put together. We had been warned, and I didn't want to meta-play the campaign. I would have done nothing different. In fact, the next character was designed to be even more reckless than the first (just more hit points and armor). I think the difficulty came with the distance to the dungeon, and the feeling of time having an importance to what we were doing. We pushed ahead because we had a "deadline" and heading back to town to restock and rest would have been lost time.<br /><br />So, Tim, if I had any advise from this experience, it would be this. Early adventures can be deadly, but if you want to encourage a particular behaviour (the group leaving the dungeon to restock and rest), it needs to be built into the adventure (I know you were using a prebuilt adventure in this case). The adventure needs to be close to town (within hours) so that a trek across the wilderness is less dangerous than pushing forward in the dungeon. The adventure needs to have a lack of deadline (no commoners to rescue!). Perhaps an easily barricaded room (barracks even) within the dungeon (and now that I think about it, there very well might have been one of these we missed).<br /><br />And don't take this advise an indictment of my experience. I had a BLAST playing the game. It fell through because we were playing online (where it is so much easier to blow off a game), and we adults had these things called lives that would get in the way of our ability to show up. Work schedule conflicts being the biggest one.<br /><br />Keep up the great blogs!

Being an intelligent monster he has many other surface motives- his love of gold, and as you say evil for amusement, he doesn’t lament or gloat over the taste of man or dwarf flesh. However, his position of arrogance comes from his position of power on top of the mountain, as the supreme predator in the area. He is so confident in his position that food is not a primary motivator. While we can attribute many evil characteristics to him (and many other monsters) I think this is akin to a cat playing with a mouse. The cat may choose to eat the mouse, kill it for entertainment, or just let it escape because it is board. If the cat was hungry though, the mouse would have just been eaten, and not even played with. The choice though is the cat’s, not the mouse’s. The people of Dale were afraid of Smaug because they realized their position as the mouse in the relationship.

He's one of my more favorite villains/ dragons because, by my interpretation, he is evil for amusement, and looks at food as a side benefit to his love of being cruel rather than primary motivator.C.
