I've used it. High-level wizards are dangerous. MD is just one of the dangers they pose. If you can't handle the heat, etc...

This is a lesson for arrogant PCs (and players) In my all-mage scavenger hunt campaign, the PCs have been asked to retrieve, among others, the body of a dead Storm Giant. Now, I don't mind that the PCs selected the country of Geoff as the best place to start. I don't mind them trying to...

I was in fact joking, and deliberately misquoting. I said "splintered" because it so often goes wrong as we all know and as it often can in campaigns. Nevertheless, I think I prefer "splintered" to "splendoured" anyway. It has more zing.

I love how so many people's first reaction when encountering a foreign substance is to taste it.

Love is, I'm sure we're all aware, a many splintered thing and a four letter word. Regardless, it is a very powerful motivational tool and plot hook, and it has created some of the most memorable moments in my games. In my old campaign, which is sort of considered by our group as our "glory...

The acronym ROFLMAO doesn't come close to my reaction to this one! Allow me tp express it in emoticon form: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: plus many more...

I've always thought Raise Dead is a pretty over-powerful spell for 5th level. A 9th-level Cleric is bringing back the dead - that's a pretty hard-core miracle, when you think about it.

Oh, yeah. And these elections I lost, both times... ...I'm the one who runs them. :o

OK. I have many. Here are some, in brief: Watching a Star Trek episode with my sister, she wondered aloud why sometimes they referred to a warp coil and sometimes to a warp core. I spent some time explaining the difference. In my defence, I don't actually know what a warp coil is supposed to do...

Maybe this belongs in the "House Rules" segment, but I had an idea last night I'd like to share. It's silly, but a little silliness is needed in our work-a-day world. Anyway, my idea is this: cartoon role-playing. By this, I mean adding elements to a campaign to make it like animation. I'm not...

I'm sorry, I thought he was a pain in the arse. Doesn't mean I wanted him dead, or that I'm glad he is, but I always thought he was annoying and phony. I also hated his politics and thought his show was idiotic, and his zoo in Queensland was an ego trip with fences. Again, that doesn't mean I'm...

I think it's hilarious. I only wish it'd happened to me. Reminds me of the time a mage in my old campaign cast a dispel magic in a strong wild zone and ended up dispelling himself (ie. wiping all spells from his memory). That was cool.

Trying to get into a dwarven city, the bard opted for what I can only describe as the "direct" approach. He went up to the guard on the gate and said, "Ho, Master dwarf. What a very fine beard you have there." The dwarf gave him a look that doesn't translate into words. They did eventually get...

OK. So the party are all mages. People who know about this campaign will remember that the party are all members of an arcane order who are on a Flaness-wide scavenger hunt refereed by the Circle of Eight - their rivals from another Guild are slightly ahead of them. Get all eight items, hand...

I played with a player who kept missing every attack. Nobody was paying close attention to why he was missing. It turned out he'd been rolling a d10. I'm not sure who was dumber - he for rolling a d10 for attacks, or the four of us for not even noticing.

If France had won, they would have 2 victories, with Brazil's 5, Germany's 3, Italy's 3, Argentina's 2, Uruguay's 2 and England's 1. That would have left England the only country to have won the world cup once. How weird is that? Makes you think. Sounds like a conspiracy to me. Those pesky...

I predicted 3rd and 4th place. After my ninth prediction. Other than that everything I predicted was incorrect. Oh well. My career as a soccer predictor falls by the wayside. I will, however, survive. Excuse me while I go headbutt something...

He shoots, he scores! One match to go. Way I see it, I have a 50% chance of getting it right. Viva La France!

OK. New prediction. I'm going to get SOMETHING right if it kills me. 1. France 2. Italy 3. Germany 4. Portugal

First World Cup final since 1990 Brazil haven't been part of. I'm just saying is all.
