Smart Alec's Top 5 Dm Choices
If more than one name appears under a number this means that they acted as a Dungeon Master Team. That is the only way a Dungeon Master should be listed more than once on a list.
Comments: It's about time I gave Lazybones a review, having been through two of his campaigns, and it's to say that I've thoroughly enjoyed them. Excellent pacing - sticking to two hour sessions means the game never drags, but at the same time we never seem rushed or railroaded. Fun, intelligent PCs who react well with what we do and say, solid plots with classic derring-do; LB's adventures are excellent examples of how NWN sessions should be run.
Comments: A well-designed starting episode. Few challenges and no real treasure or rewards, but because the game was the beginning of a campaign, and therefore quite sensibly focussed on giving the party time to travel and get to know each other a little before things heat up. It also served well as an introduction to the 'world' with a well-judged bit of scene setting and a hostile encounter designed to reflect the unusual nature of the campaign. Add in some excellently-built scenery, one or two effective bits of scripting and a cutscene that didn't malfunction, and I was quietly impressed.
