Agreed in full. I took the boys there yesterday afternoon after our game session and the steak was pretty good. But they had some chicken where the meat was fall-off-the-bone tender - delicious! Johnathan

With the ship's wheel placed where it is, I almost expect the sea giant to make the old "It's drivin' me nuts!" joke. (In fact, it looks like he might have already made that joke - and somebody gave him two gold stars for the effort!) Johnathan

In today's "Dreams of Erthe" game session, the PCs: Saw a drow mother arguing with a pair of city guards; it appears her hot-headed son Derrok, in an attempt to show his worthiness as an adventurer, picked the lock to the tower of a dead-for-centuries drow wizard whose dungeons were said to...

Rescued dumbass drow from dungeon. Johnathan

Whenever I was asked this, I always pretended to think on it a moment before answering, "An adult." Johnathan

People lice? Interesting typo/autocorrect. I finished The Bone Yard and am now starting up the last in that series, this time without the word "bone" in the title: Without Mercy, by Jefferson Bass. It's another mystery about to be solved by a forensic bone specialist, but this time a killer...

I once experienced something similar in the college cafeteria. I took what I thought was lime Jell-O with sliced pears in it, something I've had many times before and have enjoyed. But one bite in, and I discovered those weren't sliced pears - they were slices of peeled grapefruit. Seriously...

Reminds me of a scene from Tales of the Black Freighter, the comic-within-a-comic inside Watchmen. Johnathan

Yeah, I agree that the spell description could be a bit more thorough, and I agree with your "you wouldn't sink to the bottom of the ocean" example. No point in examining it any further than that at this point, in any case - like I said, we've accepted and moved on. Johnathan

If this had been the first time anything like this had come up, that would have been different - but we've had similar instances where the rules all bent to this DM's advantage - like the anti-magic field around the lich we were fighting once that somehow didn't cause the wall of thorns he was...

In tonight's "Ghourmand Vale" session, the PCs: Followed the fleeing white dragon we'd dropped to 29 hp last adventure Slew the dragon when the paladin, after seeing it dropping elevation to head for a cave in a glacier (thereby revealing its lair), charged it on his celestial pegasus and...

DM wants cake, eat it. Johnathan

Thread title: Disguising 4e as 5e/5.5e What I Saw: Disgusting 4e as 5e/5.5e Johnathan

There was a Joy in my third-grade class I would have loved to embrace...I doubt she'd have been up for it, though. Johnathan

Yeah, but I don't need a DM screen for any of those other reasons, either. I print out my homebrew adventures and monster stat sheets and keep them on a clipboard, with my PC tracking sheet on the top so nobody sees anything. I have a little table on wheels nearby to hold my books and the...

Never. We roll in the open. Johnathan

I was at a Doctor Who convention in Chicago back in 1984, and one of the guests was Tom Baker. Someone asked him during a Q&A session what other science fiction franchises he enjoyed, and he said Space: 1999, which gained some scattered applause from the audience. Then he explained, with a...

I finished Flesh and Bone, which I really enjoyed although I knew immediately who would have been behind the plot to frame the main character. But I came to really enjoy the characters, and the main death halfway through the book hit me pretty hard. Now I'm reading what is apparently the sixth...

Absolutely! The DM was back in fine form and we all had a good time. Johnathan
