Is The Orc and The Pie a well-designed adventure module?

[Thunderfoot]

Total Monte Haul.

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!! HISSSSSSSSSSSS!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Dude, go slap yourself, that was bad, totally bad... no pie for you!

 

[Odhanan]

Yes. This is the quintessential D&D adventure.

People, people, people...
We are getting all worked up over this and there simply no reason, is has to be other because the author forgot to specify if the pie is magical or not. I mean sure flavor is fine, stawberry, peach, lemon... but is a mundane pie, a masterwork pie, a +1 Pie of Belching, a Cursed Pie of Poison?
What is the level of the Orc? Where is his stat block?

So while it has potential, I think we can safely say that without further development, that this module has hit the wall. Maybe in future efforts the author might be able to develop something usable, but frankly, he needs more experience with game related material. I suggest a few creative writing seminars at his local community college.

Come on now, you know very well that authors don't need to include stat blocks for core elements, and these elements are right out of core rulebooks III and IV, the Monster Manual and the Pastry Pantry.

Admittedly, page references in the original text would have been nice.

Orc and Pie II? Or OnP errata?

I suggest the pie is masterwork chicken pot pie. The orc is level 1.

Yes, it's a great adventure. It's got orc! It's got pie!! That's EVERYTHING!!!

I'm really looking forward to the release of Return to the Orc and the Pie.

(Although now that I look at it, it's looks mightily like that orc is about to launch that pie as a missile.)

Actually, Fiery Dragon Productions released an Orc & Pie Counter Collection in the 2003 GenCon.



It was buisness card-sized.

For some reason, now I want a black and white cookie . . .

Not THE black and white cookie on the black and white pie?

The Auld Grump, and thus does the worst gaming joke ever created perpetuate itself...

There once was an orc from Nantucket,
whose .....


Oh wait, that's Orc and dirty Limmerick. I don't know because I've never played Orc and Pie.

It's the only adventure that will fit on a t-shirt. If that's not a measure of quality, I don't know what else is.

I feel... dumber... from reading that.
