[PnP] pnp Digest, Vol 131, Issue 7 - scans

[Scott Adams]

Yep.  But at some point realism need to be 
in.  Back around '85 or so did the pnp site book 
stuff.  World tour of the sites and it was 
unrealistic but I was a type 1 hten (1=hack 
slacker gm, 10% plutnad 80% combat, 10% 
treasure/other).  But now some 30 years later I'm 
a type 5 (in my personal scale 10% hack/slack, 
80% background/plot/character development), 10% other stuff).
A single water skin crossing the desert to that 
desert city site (what was it shurkal?) is 
stupid.  So I did a bit of research and came up 
with a simple 3 line chart nad a 5 line 
chart.  So its a bit more realistic.  Course now 
that water is a non issue its a non issue now. :)
