OKAY SO Iron Gods just happened and I was hit with a weird situation.
** spoiler omitted **
So now the big bad is aware that something very wrong has happened, AND her minions are dead, so for the first time I had to come up with a 'what will happen today.'
I know the PCs are going back into the cave again to finish off the last 2/3rds of the final floor, so I had to sketch out what she's doing...
** spoiler omitted **...
Awesome! I like how you think. :-)
Edit: Well, it is 7:30 on Father's day, what did you expect, a ribbon.

The kids go to their dad's tomorrow, so they and my wife threw me my first step-father's day. Biscuits & gravy for breakfast, a gift clock painted by the kids, an introduction to ttrpgs for one of them in the afternoon, and steak & double-baked potatoes for dinner.
Best. Day. Ever. And I never expected to be even a part-time step-father. :)
I don't know how available it is, but I just recently (upon hunting down Eberron-themed published adventures) happened into a copy of Dungeon #123. In it was an article by Wil Wheaton, that I never expected; it talks a bit sour being a step-father and was surprisingly touching and insightful.
(Not sure I agree with him on the "back-up quarterback" concept as a general rule for step-fathers, but he knows his own life better than I, so I'm not going to say he's wrong about himself; sounds like his kids find him pretty important, though!)
Anyway, all that to say: happy Father's Day, TS!
Also; happy Father's Day, all - yeah, even you who aren't fathers! I hope we all have an awesome day!

Well, today's Crimson Throne game should be... interesting.
They have 6 PCs instead of 4, and for a while they were so ineffective even with 6 that I felt bad giving the bad guys max HP, much less anything actually, y'know, effective.
But the last few sessions has seen an evolution in play from my group, and they're using effective tactics and eliminating enemies with some ease. Which has led them to be... confident. Some would say "cocksure".
Today they face Nihil the Ashbringer with all her minions intact, and no intelligence-gathering at all on the part of the party. I suspect it's going to be, "We smash the locked door down. Oh. Ow."
I look forward to see how the party responds to an actual challenge. Hopefully I won't TPK them.
(And I'm only posting this in the hopes that lisamarlene has already left her house and headed this way.)
Well, I didn't see this until now, so at least I didn't cheat and google the Monster of the Week, but I'm also a bit embarrassed, because while everyone else is going "tactics tactics blah blah handwringing whatevershallweDO tactics", I'm the one who opened the damn door.
But, hey, no one died. Even me. This time.| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I hate tactics, just let me die already so I can bring in the B team.

I think the dog is in the wall somewhere.
I hear his collar, but I don't, you know, see him anywhere.
It doesn't help that we have a small house, he likes weird places and loves to burrow (which is adorable when he burrows into a pile of stuffed animals and all you see is his Beagle face resting on Grover.

Happy Father's Day FaWtL people!!!
My plans are to make sure my family doesn't realize it, thus ensuring a nice quiet day where I get to do my chores in peace.
LOL. Why is it that so many dads take this approach to Father's Day? It's my plan, too!

No, it's Impus Major's job to open the door like a proper meat shield while Impus Minor and I kill everything. Then Nobody's Wife heals us and repairs any political damage we've done. It's Shiro's job to throw bombs and make me laugh. Which provides a sort of bardic assistance.
See? I can do tactics.
Uh... you'll have to talk to my wife first... I don't expect much to be positively generated from that conversation.
In other news: 96 pages! Why, yes, I am using FaWtL as a convenient notepad to temporarily record my five-year-old's summer reading for the day, thanks!

4) Cut my leg open by accident with a kukri (nothing remotely serious)Leg injury... Flesh wound... British understatement...
So, did you amputated your leg above or below knee?
O, I stapled both halves back together and then had a cup of tea. No harm done.

I don't see myself having time to even attempt to run a game for at least a year, possibly longer. Honestly, time for hobbies hasn't really been a thing for over a year now.

Thinking of my last boss I agree... that he was a drunk idiot... wait.

It's better to do business with a drunk professional than a sober idiot.
But I don't drink.

So, does it affect my life oracle's "Good" alignment when, after the halfling alchemist kicked the party's tail and got away scot-free the first time (my oracle was... otherwise involved), he got treed, treated to two Flame Strikes, two Holy Smites, and two Lightning Bolts (in addition to being carved up by the now-fire-resistant ranger)... died...
...and she put an apple in his mouth before the party presented him to the authorities?
