Fool's Grove: The Gnome's Back (With Friends)

[Piratecat]

That would be SERIOUSLY funny, and would make me SERIOUSLY laugh. Seriously.

Right. Ergo, not permitted.

I'll let Ergo know. He'll be pissed but he'll understand.

I am deeply dismayed that WotC butchered the flumph. Its most endearing oddball quirk is missing. Its Lawful Good alignment has been replaced by Unaligned! How can the only LG creature from the original Fiend Folio be lessened to UNALIGNED?!?!?

 

[Nymrohd]

After being laughed at for so long, the flumph has gotten more and more bitter. Give it a decade and it will turn into a demon lord.

The Campestris are the best. I put my kids through "Old Man Kataan and His Incredible (Edible) Mushroom Band". Role playing one of the Campestris sitting in Old Man Kataan's boat calling out for his cat (High pitched voice "Haluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupa! Halupa?") is the ultimate DMing experience.

I tried to run that adventure when it came out. As soon as my players saw the old man followed by a line of singing mushrooms, they turned as a group, pelted me with dice, doused me with Mountain Dew and stormed out of the basement never to be seen again.

True Story.

You're in England you should be out there burninating the countryside too. In the meantime you should improve on Sutherland's method by using some chiaroscuro.

I don't think we've crossed any lines here yet, but are we going to get in trouble for referencing humour?

You could not get in trouble, specially when you spell it like that... I see Charles, astute, flying under the radar... Actually I don't see Charles, that's the point of flying under the radar...

I don't even play 4th ed but I enjoyed it. Didn't find it funny at all of course.

You do need the right audience. I've run it 3 times successfully (Addmitedly one of those times was with an 8, 6 and 4 year old, but the other 2 were with adult groups.) I would never try it with my current group or I'd suffer the same results.

The first time I ran it, it was a prelude to "The Temple of Elemental Evil."
The next group was a one shot.
For the kids I tied it into "A Way With Words". Worked out great both ways.
