Surprisingly, I experienced no negatively odiferous adventures this year. I'm sure that karmic balance needs mean the sewage will burst in my apartment soon, though.

My traveling companion had his event tickets lifted by a party member during True Dungeon. He didn't notice until the next day, and, rather than checking TD's lost/found, he just bought generics. Funny thing is he insisted on bringing ALL of his event tickets (and all of his money) with him...

LOL. I had this happen this week, actually. Sort of. Four of us are in a pass it around campaign. We've each got characters and we each DM one session before the next person goes. Boy was she nervous. We spent most of the time haggling prices on the loot we were selling off. Probably the...

Our group is currently living out of the back of a carriage, repainted to look like a traveling entertainment troupe called "Bones, Beasts, & Boogey," intentionally spelled wrong on the boogie front. How long that'll last really depends on whose DMing. We're doing a pass it around DM style, we...

With the paly as a hood ornament, the choice is clear, my friend. :cool:

Dread Necromancer from Heroes of Horror, and grab a reach weapon with your martial weapon proficency. I have a thri-kreen dread necro (uses a guisarme) that's a blast to play. I keep his minions intentionally low so as not to hog all of the combat time but between his skeletal minions and the...

My group of players has a definite tendancy to play well below their average party level to begin with, but that being said, I'm not noticing them doing any better or worse against CRs equal to or slightly less than their ECL than they normally would. The party is made up of a thri-kreen...

Our current campaign has a gate crasher in the crew, and every week we have a different DM. The whole thing is chaotic at best. Lots of plane hopping. Fun, though. The campaign I'm working up has several planes (few of the standards, though) actually colliding with the prime material, with...

I nominate Expeditious Retreat Press.

No, I didn't forget about that entrance. That just doesn't necessarily have to be the only entrance to the caverns. PCs go in one way, giant(s) go in another. They bump into each other somewhere in the middle. You can replace 'giant' with any Large creature or Huge creature that's long, but...

Control is another reason. In a dungeon, there are boundaries. If you're worried the giant might be a bit too much for the party, put an escape tunnel just big enough for them leading out of the room. Giant can't reach them. Same encounter happens while they're camping, though, and it's...

'93 at a little local con at a college in Kalamazoo, MI. The big adventure I remember was set in Thieves' World, and through the luck (or unluck) of the draw, I played the only female in the group. Had to pretend I was just a young boy (easy enough, I was 16), but when our employer ran a...

If they're wrestling or some other rambunctious activity, it could be hard to tell exactly how many minotaurs there are. ;)

I can't take a pdf out to the picnic table on a nice day for lunch when I'm creating the week's adventure on my breaks at work. For that functionality, I'd have to print the parts I need, which is why I wouldn't pay book prices for a pdf.

Exactly. I have one player that can take an insult like an M1 can take an Eryx rocket in BF2. We regularly entertain whole audiences by verbally bashing each other into oblivion, most insults can't be repeated here due to the grandma filter. However. No mom jokes. His mom passed away when...

With one friend splitting gas and room, I'm sitting at an estimated $400 on Gen Con. We live in Minnesota, so it's a long drive to boot. Hotel is only 5 miles away from the hall, and so far almost half of my cost is registration and events. Up here, a membership with the public radio gets you...

I had to go with kewl as defined here based on my last three characters. SR4 has an everyman former go-ganger troll, but the last two D&D campaigns included a jump-fu thri-kreen and a gnome geomancer that couldn't cast an illusion to save his life, was covered in leopard fur, was photosynthetic...

I play frequently enough (once or twice a week), but a limited number of players that either a) get along or b) function well as a team means I don't necessarily get quality game time in. Heck, I DM for just two players once a week just so we can play D&D at all. :(

I swear it sounds like he says, "At least I've got chicken." at the end of that clip.
