Variations

My group of four play 2-4 games every weekend. We have been doing this for the past 3 months or so. I would like to know if anyone has any good ideas to spice up a game or two. Our only house rules are an attack roll of 6-1 is always a win regardless (this means you have a chance of beating a huge monster, or a pathetic monster has a chance of beating you) and we only pull dragon scales when a 1 or 6 is rolled for movement.

I was thinking of playing a monstrous game - minotaur, ogre chieftain, troll, but then I need a forth character to throw in. (dread knight could work)

does anyone else play games with themes? preset character choices?

Thanks

You should draw scales per the normal rule; this would certainly spice up the game. My wife refuses to land on any space with a scale, but mostly if she knows she cannot avoid it (Draconic Lord). The scales offer up a good mix of deadly foes and some tasty objects, followers, etc. - Oberon, just my opinion
