Let's hope that 5th edition doesn't go in this direction...

Woah. Archeology jokes AND D&D jokes. Someone blew a gasket.

"Initial tests indicate that the stones may have come from an open pit quarry near the Elonges River, nearly two miles from here! Also, we were attacked by a Phantom Fungus and lost two more graduate students."

That's pretty damn clever.

DO NOT join an adventuring group as a graduate student!

Now that's funny; love the article too. Nothing like good D&D satire in the morning to make the day a bit better.

Lore Sjoberg is awesomely hilarious.

He used to write quite frequently for the Brunching Shuttlecocks (now defunct, but the archive's still there). There's also the Book of Ratings.

 

[Yeoman]

Classy tribute, and classic humor. I approve.

"The cataloging of the entryway has been completed, and a graduate student, Bill, will be entering the dungeon itself for the first time today! He requested a goat to herd into the dungeon ahead of him, but I pointed out that goats are valuable."

Priceless

Both good and bad news. The good news is that we have discovered an actual Frummosh-dynasty-spiked, poisoned pit trap in the dungeon! The bad news is that Bill's bodily fluids have tainted the find. I will be adding a stern reprimand to his posthumous evaluation.

I'm going to have to remember that one the next time I DM and the party wants to sell stuff. "Well, it would have been 600gp, but it has been tainted by bodily fluids. I'll give you 120gp for it."

But...but...what will the average Sharn University student do for his internship??

I mean, it's not like they ALL die...
