That sounds like two different nightmares to me.

Rolled into one.

If nothing else, these last few days have given me the nightmare scenario of DMing a group of ENWorld posters ... and discovering they're all lawyers.

That might even be worse than the time I ran a game for a group of engineers, and they literally voluntarily TPK'd themselves after I described the party crossing a thin, cracked ice bridge - apparently, the dimensions I gave them for the bridge triggered one of them, who busted out his calculator and decided that the bridge couldn't hold the party's weight, so they all fell to their deaths...
They immediately started rolling up new characters despite my continuing insistence that I'd just change the dimensions of the ice bridge to something that their rigid little machine brains could accept and we could continue on with the frackin' adventure...

That's works for the ones who are lawyers, too. "5000 words of hyperbole" is a great way to define a lot of lawsuits (and motions, etc).

I'm not a lawyer, but from the outside-looking-in? That checks out.

I remember a comic of some kind where a player brought along a 500-page document, double-checked by two separate lawyers, all for a single casting of Wish.

Probably a Knights of the Dinner Table kind of thing

I remember that comic! "It's even notarized!"

In other things, down here a lot of folks seem to take their Christmas decorations down shortly after Christmas (at least before New Years). Others seemingly hold out until yesterday (12th day) or today (Epiphany). For us, we've taken to waiting for the Nuuti Pukki to arrive a week from today.

Much like Linus and the Great Pumpkin (albeit a bit in reverse in terms of who the giver and getter would be) we have yet to actually see one. It does give an excuse to keep the lights up a week longer and to ponder what the D&D system agnostic stats would be.

@Dannyalcatraz can you confirm?
