Yeah, I have a couple of friends who raved and raved about it. It's not bad, but I don't feel any compulsion to read further. It's one of those series where I would if I had the next book around and I didn't have anything else to read. I'm planning on picking up the next couple at the library...

That title rings a bell but I am not sure. I don't know if I have read it. Maybe I just saw it on a cover and it stuck in my mind.

Over the last week I read the first Dungeon Crawler Carl book, which I found disappointing after how much I'd seen and heard it hyped up, and Red Rising, by Pierce Brown, which I thought was fantastic. Both are the first books in series; I don't really feel too compelled to go on in the DCC...

Now something about "Scarlet Tides" is knocking around. Aargh.

YES!! I guess I misremembered there being "scarlet" in the title pretty badly. I wonder what my brain was thinking of. Huh.

I'm pretty sure it heavily featured olive slimes and slime creatures. Damn, wish I could remember- as I recall, it read like a pretty good adventure.

I'm here to discuss gaming stuff and to socialize with my extended circle of gamer friends.

There was a late 2e or maybe early 3e era Dungeon Magazine that had an adventure focused on a disease or infestation related to Juiblex. I believe it started in a town that had been infected via a cistern. I don't recall the name, but I think it had "Crimson" somewhere in the title- maybe...

Goodberry has been massively overlooked. It's a first level spell. Its only downside is that it doesn't improve when cast at higher levels, but it will feed 10 people per casting.

I don't think publishing has anything to do with rules mastery. I'd rate myself at an 8 or 9 if not for that.

I have a version of the cancer mage for warlocks, where the tumor is the character's patron.

Both. Mostly in person, but I am in one game where the DM and about half the group is several hours away.

What do you mean by campaign? I always use the term in the old sense, in which it describes the milieu rather than a given group of pcs' adventures.

Yes, as a player. And I have my players track ammo as a DM. Ranged combat, especially post-2e, is basically superior to melee combat- there is almost no drawback to it. Limited ammunition is a very meager downside, IMHO.

Rescued hostages from Juiblex cult.

Pcs escaped from Lost City.

Our most recent reschedule was an "Other"- the DM's kid had a school concert. Since the game defaults to every other Friday, I can't call this double booking, per se; this is just one of those things that comes up once in a while where another commitment takes priority, and the schedule needs to...

I use a bookshelf. And I'm pretty familiar with what I have, as well as with what I don't have but want. I'm a collector, but not a completist, if that makes sense.

I saw pcs take two or even three of them. They seemed to be decent enough to me, compared to how fiddly a lot of 4e feats were.

We just have the missing pc fade into the background. Maybe they're guarding the camp, maybe they're scouting ahead, maybe they have a bout of the flu or explosive diarrhea, but we don't worry about it too much.
