Not all.<br /><br />But these sorts of things, the jokes and the serious bits, highlight the fact that there isn't a single bit of RPG material ever made that should ever be run as-is, and/or stop being so damned conservative with your material and PUSH PUSH PUSH PUSH. Which bits any individual Referee decides to not use as-is (or even scrap altogether) is up to them, but when presenting material, staid and boring is worse than bad and if fooling around with ideas that nobody else plays with, not everything is going to work and that's OK too."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04674233268949925440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423678674802842720.post-38644084359189195052012-11-02T20:02:03.085+02:002012-11-02T20:02:03.085+02:00Well, what did the man himself say?

Raggi is a postmodern artist who doesn't try to explain what he does. He just throws something on the wall and lets different gaming groups interpret that as they like.Sami Koponenhttp://legendmakers.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423678674802842720.post-53013657174372255442012-11-02T07:27:18.335+02:002012-11-02T07:27:18.335+02:00My posts here go directly to my G+ feed and Raggi ...My posts here go directly to my G+ feed and Raggi answered there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04674233268949925440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423678674802842720.post-76468645452203727782012-11-01T16:51:19.059+02:002012-11-01T16:51:19.059+02:00I think it might be a shout-out to some of the mor...I think it might be a shout-out to some of the more ridiculous 1st ed dungeons and artifacts. Every recommendation I've seen for running tomb of horrors is to let 3-4 people play from a pool of a dozen high level characters who were camped out just outside the tomb, because half of them are going to get killed by things doing nearly 100 damage with no saving throws. "Hey, is this thing a door?" "No, you just walked into a Sphere of Annihilation disguised as a door."<br /><br />The good old Sphere of Annihilation, as well as other items with extra dimensional magical properties, allowed for all sorts of bizarre world ending catastrophe brought about by someone who couldn't stop fiddling with something.
