LOL!
I always remember a cartoon in Dragon where on ogre was tied up and being shot at with arrows. After several direct hits (with arrows sticking out of its head and face) a wizards standing to one side says "It's still got 13 hit points left; keep shooting".
Nowa days I like to run my games like action films. In the past I would be a real hard arse about verisimilatude, keeping track of encumberance and food supplies and what have you.
These days I'm more focused on players having mad skillz and pulling crazy stuntz.
Shallow is as shallow does
