Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

I can't even begin to say how freaked out we were when Velendo started putting out first one giant tile for the one hydra...

Velendo, eh? So you session was being guest-DMed by the famous cleric of Calphas himself?


The mind is always the first thing to go...

Yep, looks like yours sure is. Mine is still perfectly intact, and I remember that Velendo is played BY Sagiro in Piratecat's campaign.

Velendo. Sagiro. Whatever -- a rose by any other name would still be a rat bastard.

If that's not the pot calling the kettle a rat bastard, I don't know what is.

That's a lot of hydra heads. Poor Step -- just back from the dead, and look where he's at.

Too bad you can't turn the hydras' heads individually.

And - more, please!

Yeah, I knew that too. The name-slippage was just amusing, that's all. Sort of helps remind me that despite the excellence of both Story Hours, they're still human, or at least putting up the best visage of humanity that two rat-bastards can muster.

Just curious, does the name slip happen very frequently during actual game sessions? Probably less of a problem for Sagiro and Piratecat, being DMs, but how often does KidCthulhu get called 'Nolin' in this game, or vice versa?

Worse yet, any instances of character name slips in non-game arenas?

KidCthulhu: Hey, Dranko, can you take out the garbage?
Piratecat: <blink> <blink> Umm... dear?

Isn't that what Faramir says to Samwise, after Samwise has praised Faramir for not taking the Ring from Frodo?

(wincing) "33."

(slight grin) "You see all of them. Make eight saves."

The PC's in my campaign recently entered a room with five mummies, and I have to admit that as a DM I shied away from forcing everyone to make five saves, because I knew that those with high saves would make all of them and those with low saves didn't stand a chance of making every roll.

I decided to make the additional mummies make the whole thing more fearsome, so there was just one paralysis/fear save, but the DC was raised by 1 for each extra mummy.

(and if you think I was failing in my duty as a rat bastard, in my defence I'd like to at least mention that my mummies mummy-rot had both an onset time and a repeat time of 1 minute... and the party all out of Remove Curse too )



Cheers!

Never. Nolin and Ernie are so completely different that we've never had a slip up. Plus, it's only in the last few years that we have had any overlapping players between the two games.

Worse yet, any instances of character name slips in non-game arenas?

Piratecat: <blink> <blink> Umm... dearz

Again, never. Although "Hey Rat Bastard" does sometimes get thrown around. And not always to refer to Pkitty .
