A brutal turnover of characters there ;-) Gorgeous map, your work?
OdpowiedzUsuńChanging characters was really fun as it increased challenge without bogging the game down, since in contrast to D&D, characters can be rolled really quickly and effortlessly in TFT. I made it even faster by using pre gens from darkcitygames.com. Their site is also the source of the map, it is not mine.
