What does vorpal mean?

Well, considering that you've mastered time travel for 1988 to have been thirty-two years ago, I'd say you're still doing pretty good, all things considered.

Remember kids, math is HARD. Damn THAC0 years, I guess. That or I relived the 2E years twice over. So '88 was 24 years ago...why didn't I just grab a calculator?

I thought vorpal meant Banana Pudding. Or perhaps "You'll never roll a natural 20 except on skill checks."

Mayhap a vorpal blade is one which makes a sound like "Vorp!" when you swing it around. ("Vorp-vorp-vorp")

Yep: a light-saber. Carroll was decades ahead of Lucas on that one.

Um, no. A lightsaber is clearly a sword of *sharpness*. Lots of limbs being removed in Star Wars, but no heads.

Cheers, Al'Kelhar

And 2E ability checks.

Vorpal blades are actually blunt. They only work against Jabberwockies.

shouldn't that come to 34 years? or did he take a DeLorean for a joy ride at 88 miles per hour?

They're made of corduroy?
