Today's adventure stank! (Location: sewers.) Johnathan

My gaming group opted to remain with 3.5 despite the several new editions that have come out since: we're still enjoying 3.5, I have enough source material to keep me gaming in 3.5 for the rest of my natural lifespan, and we really haven't seen any reason to change. I'm now running my fourth...

I had another of my quarterly 5-day business trips this week, so I got a lot of reading done in airports, on planes, and in my hotel room. Here's what I read this past week: Harold, the first novel by comedian Stephen Wright, a book that could only have been written by Stephen Wright. It...

There's also the last lines during the intro: No. 6: "Who are you?" No. 2: "The new Number Two." No 6: "Who is Number One?" No. 2: "You are Number Six." No 6: "I am not a number! I am a free man!" No. 2: (laughs) Guess what one little comma (or brief pause) does to the script? No...

My understanding was "Every Breath You Take" was about Big Brother from George Orwell's novel 1984. Johnathan

For me, it's Yellow Submarine: eminently quotable, ridiculously nonsensical (yet it follows its own internal logic), and excellent music from the Beatles at my favorite point in their careers. The fact the animation is unlike any other animated movie I've ever seen is an additional plus. Johnathan

That second hobgoblin above looks like he's got Iron Man's right gauntlet on his shield. Johnathan

I'm trying to figure out how a creature with five wings (or any odd number of wings) could possibly fly in a straight line. It's starting to hurt my brain. Johnathan

In today's "Down to Erthe" campaign session, the PCs: Were hired by the Adventurer's Guild to procure a living basilisk, which the wizard commissioning the quest wanted turned into a snail via a baleful polymorph spell (he provided two such spells on scrolls, which the wu jen PC could use)...
