In our last "Middle of Elsewhere" game session, the PCs: "Woke up" in Mechanus with no memory of the Shift Day they'd been expecting having happened Met up with a duodrone modron who passed a note to the celestial elf witch PC asking for help for help at the nearby modron mines Followed the...

Foiled protection racket, rescued kidnapee. Johnathan

I have never for the life of me understood putting mayonnaise on a burger. I hadn't even heard of such a thing until we got stationed in California, and apparently that's the default there (as I found out the first time I ordered a burger in a restaurant and nearly choked on the unexpected...

A version of the Hellfire Club also featured in an episode of "The Avengers" (during the Mrs. Peel years) called "A Touch of Brimstone." And, of course, there's also the Hellfire Club made up of mutant villains that appear in the "X-Men" comics. Johnathan

Some 3.5 templates grant the PC wings: half-celestial (feathered), half-dragon (draconic, but requiring a creature of Large or larger size), and half-fiend (bat wings). But Goodman Games' The Book of Templates has what you're probably looking for: the Flying template, which adds flight via...

I agree with Whizbang Dustyboots...but I also really do like big rubber suit monsters, Western and Japanese. Johnathan

When I was stationed in Maryland, the barber I frequented not only cut my hair to my specifications, but told me all about my aura - specifically, what color it was that day and whet that usually meant. He was decent old guy, but I kept going back to him because he was a good barber, and all of...

There's a place by us - Sickie's Garage - that serves a cheeseburger where each of the buns (top and bottom) is a full-fledged grilled cheese sandwich (on white bread). I tried it once on a whim and it was okay, but I doubt I'll ever need to eat a second one. Johnathan

Nothing too fancy: burgers cooked at home, on regular old hamburger buns, topped with cheese (American, Swiss, or Cheddar, take your pick), bacon, sweet pickles, mustard, and ketchup, plus lettuce if it's available - it's the least essential component of our burgers, and generally isn't missed...

Stopped formian incursion, rescued modron. Johnathan

If you did, given those fingerprints, I guess you'd be a "smooth criminal." Johnathan

I remember enjoying the Justicar and Estrella novels: White Plume Mountain, Decent into the Depths of the Earth, and Queen of the Demonweb Pits. They featured a male ranger, a female pixie, and a sentient hell hound pelt, of all things - not your standard D&D party. But they went through the...

If you really want to break your brain, throw some nilbogs into the battle.... Johnathan
