    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Lake As a group, they worked with some hard paddling, making their way slowly but surely into the side-stream, where they wound their way northward until they came to a spot where the stream flowed into a dark cave. Loklafd said, "I had planned to leave you here, with my mission as your...

    What do you do when a Player dies?

    Quite the story. I suppose that in some ways, it's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for, if maybe a bit shocking in the details.

    What do you do when a Player dies?

    I really mean Player, not their character. One of my Tuesday Night Group lost a quick, but valiant battle with aggressive stomach cancer. He was only 51, and he had three (thankfully grown) kids, and a wife, who'd been with him, I think, something like 30 years. We'd been gaming together since...

    (OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

    Yeah, that's pretty tough for a L1 spell. You're not likely to have that kind of cash to just burn away until at least Level 5. And the spell is good, but it ain't THAT good. Maybe if it weren't Concentration. It has a weird duration, too. 10 minutes. Just long enough to definitely last a whole...

    D&D General What I learn from DM 600 sessions of Adventure League

    "Play Well With Others" (Your #15) is to me (by far) the most important rule of TTRPGs. Good list, BTW.

    (IC) Dog Days of Doom!

    Anson welcomed having Deirdre along, even if she also wore armor that sounded far too loud to a scout's ears. Still, she moved silently enough with all the various background noise, and she'd be good to have along if things went south. He nodded his appreciation to her. Benny was still looking...

    (OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

    Haw, I just suggested in the IC that we DO split up. I think we should, but only very briefly. There's no guarantee that we will make it back to the Emporium. We have to head for the beacon after, and the Emporium will be backtracking. Two stealthy slip-in-slip-out catch up to the others. I...

    (IC) Dog Days of Doom!

    Stratus led the way toward the armory, his chain-mail making its signature ching-ching noise as he moved. Anson shook his head at the sound. Havok was no better. He was sure that they'd be heard by zombies soon enough. He put his hand on Benny's shoulder and said in a whisper, "We may never get...

    (OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

    That will probably happen naturally, if we simply split into two groups. We don't need to do it on purpose.

    (OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

    Kobold sock-puppet looks at the spoiler and then looks at me with a wide mouth. "What? Is it bad? I don't wanna look! We're gonna be okay, right?" Kobold sock puppet shakes its head slowly while trying to look serious. An impossible task with googly eyes .

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2025

    Thanks, everyone. Tomorrow is our first session since he's been gone (he missed the last few as well, from being in the hospital, but this is the first where we know he won't be coming back). We probably won't play, but we sure as heck will be raising a glass or two.

    (OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

    What do you think, gang? Should we spread out and loot, or stick together in case of trouble? Kobold-shaped sock puppet nods enthusiastically. You're no, help, phoney Kobold! (For those that missed it, Kobold Stew is gone until Friday, and I'm posting for him until he gets back).

    Doctor Which

    I'm like that, too. As a Comic Guy, everyone always asks me who my favorite character or writer or artist or movie is. I just don't really do favorites. I have "I really enjoyed XYZ about this part of this thing. Does that count?

    D&D 5E (2024) Heightein Spell and Innate Sorcery are Insane!

    I find that you run out of Sorcery Points really, really quickly. Your combo is certainly very good, but you can't use it all the time. Still, you can use it to great effect, yeah.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Lake In a show of solidarity that would raise the heart of even the most cynical, both Kayaks moved to Loklafd's rescue. In the rush, Bjorn lost his paddle, but Darius was able to use the momentum of the current to keep up with it, long enough for Bjorn to fish it out as it came up...

    Phase 5 of the MCU is over

    I really liked Thunderbolts, but I wouldn't say that it was great. Other than perhaps Florence Pugh - she continues to shine. Everyone else, and the film itself, was good. Not quite great. Though I give it extra props for actually telling a decent story about mental health, without all the...
