Re: [DL] Too easy!

I typically run a much more free flow game rather than strict adventures.  I
allow my group to draw each session as long as they have made significant
progress in the previous session.  So far it seems to be working pretty
well.  My biggest problem is they chip all damage away, then complain they
don't have enough chips.
