Hive: Musings about Crothian

[Terath Ninir]

What, did you look at the DM notes for my next campaign?

Don't let Darkness tempt you into looking! He uses pages out of the Necronomicon for his game notes! Doesn't hurt him -- he's already dead -- but it will drive a living person to watch "reality" television. ~shudder~

Actually I was thinking of a game I played in. My character was tortured and scarred from head to toe. Not pretty. Are your notes anything like my old DM's?

Don't you know by now that all the Truly Evil DMs work off the exact same notes written by the great Cthulhu himself? Or have I said too much already...?

Oh, that's what all that mail from TEDM & Co. is. They have hats too, don't they?

Curses! The agents have been spotted!!

Congrats!

I played in a game with a worshiper of pain. In two sessions I and 2 other PCs fumbled hitting him for damage and he ended up setting himself on fire, to be doused by gaints.
(who were lacking in any sort of bucket.)
does that count for physical and psychological damgage?
erp. Class bye.

That's also a lesson in humility.

Hm, I don't know your old DM.

But the following quote by (game designer) John Wick just about sums up my point of view:

... If you've ever seen the Die Hard movies, you know exactly what I'm talking about. At the end of every film, John McLane is bruised, bloody and busted up beyond all hope of repair. But he also got the better of the bad guys ...

End of battle? Cure, Mending, Light.

Nothing like the hero emerging from the dungeon clean and shimmering!
