HOORAY!
At last I have read through all the posts here
My sincere thanks for the many kind words.
I really wanted to DM more, for the group was playing well and having fun...had not yet encountered my special kobolds either
Worse still, I didn't even have time to allot XPS to the group--a fair amount what with treasure, monsters slain, and spells cast--the cure LWs at only half value, a mere 50 each, of course
Mules and dungeon carts can carry about the same load--say four cubic feet, around 200 pounds--and are guaranteed to attract monsters and get in the way. I LOVE it when they are used!
I not only house rule negative HPs surviving, and a level 2 PC would only be dead at -3 HPs, but I give special bonuses for 15 or higher stst scores. IIRR I posted those over on the DF board con thread, or on my Q&A. If someone absolutely must know I will post them here as well.
The T-shirt was a persent from Gail when we went to New Glarus to heve some röschti. IMO it should be made with shredded raw potato, a bit of onion, plenty of bacon and Emmenthaler, and topped off with raclette, YUM!
Gail is indeed a saint...to put up with me on a daily basis. (I even call her vile names when she skinks me at cribbage or backgammons me while she is gracious in defeat///most of the time anyway
) We will have an anniversary dinner and a bottle of Champagne this weekend most likely.
Thanks again,
Gary
P.S. the critic on Erik Mona's blog that suggested I was being egotistical for quipping about my having done the D&D game seems to dforget I was the orincipal Guest of Honor at the con, had my pic and bio at the very front of the program book too, and was the Grand Pooh-bah coming down the red carpet in the opening ceremony don'tcha know
