This raises a really interesting question about metagaming and fog of war. Who knows what and especially in dark passages can you tell the difference between various man sized monsters that you only heard of in legend? Maybe an INT check to identify a monster and another to now/remember what it...

I think for me it tends to be the long slog - the PCs are going to win. Eventually. And it either ends up keep rolling, keep rolling, or its a kind of "ok so you are going to win, lets fast forward" which both suck. Some of the ideas from faster combat will help here but I have not had a chance...

In the past I played quite a bit of Tunnels and Trolls (a simple but fun RPG for those who dont know it) as a single player plus GM. Of course the game loses most of the social aspects but I dont see why RPGs cannot be played by couples. Now that I think about it, there seems to be a market for...
