I may have to put some more work on it. I have a person who can do some illustrations what I really need is a editor but I figure I can teach myself to do it maybe.

Yeah I might have to give it another go.

Are you sure you can edit a "booke"?

To be clear, I'm teasing you. Not trying to be an a@&+~@!.

And I won't be breaking your legs I'll be "Creatively incentivizing you through fiboral Fracturing".

Whoa! Is you'se tryin' ta mussel in on my territory, pal? You'se better hope not, or else I'se gonna have to get very cross.

YOUR territory? Who's this sardine think he is? Those aboleth guys ain't pullin' their weight in th' docks? Somebody tell V'inny about this so th' Brainfather knows. We're gonna crack some skulls in th' meantime, sounds like. Get these fish off'a our turf.

Oh yeah, that's the stuff. Just the right balance of dissolved cerebellum to oozing molten neural fluid. The Brainfather will love this vintage.

Okay. Thinking next plot device will be found underwater (potions of water breathing will be provided by the Guild the store has us run quests through). Some aboleth-controlled merrow attacked a group of triton scouts and now have the thing. None of them know what it is (tritons were taking to a mage to get it looked at), and everyone's on high alert. Aiming at one of our higher tables, so levels 6-9.

aboleth are criminally underused.

That’s just the way the abolth mafia (the Abolethia, run by the Pescalli family) likes it!

(This idea is shamelessly stolen from Rusty and Co.)

Well, shamelessly edited from that webcomic, anyway.

(They used mindflayers under a different name, and it’s glorious.)

This post is used with quotes because I can’t edit the post and can barely even find it!

damn. Now I want some fried calamari.

You wantin' t' start somethin'? You tryin' t' start somethin'? Do you know who yer dealin' with, pal? Friendo? Bub? You wanna know what it's like t' get yer cerebellum stirred, do ya? Huh?

.... somebody tryin' t' muscle in on our turf again? We gotta crack some skulls? Get t' th' nice soft tasty grey matta' inside? Do we gotta, huh? You wanna piece o' this tentacle? Do ya, punk?

But... what if... what if I have... continual see aura on...?

Look, y' didn't see NOTHIN', y'see? Y' got me? Y' didn't see NOTHIN', if ya wanna keep grey matta 'tween yer ears.

{sobs} You heartless cannibals!

There there dame, it'll be alright. Th' Brainfather's got this aaaaaaall in th' bag. These schmucks won't know what hit 'em.

'Cause psychic energy's invisible, y'see?

Yeah there are reasons I have made extensive plans to change that particular encounter significantly when I run this for my group.

** spoiler omitted **I've got a couple more years of Savage Tide left to run first though, so I've got a while to figure solutions out.

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum and am extremely loathe in tampering with the AP even with the players cakewalking through the AP. I will change monster tactics (anyway most of the time they don't give listed tactics).

If they are likely to have difficulties with random encounters I will reroll on the table saying,"Nope, it's not fair, I'm not throwing that on you."

Fixed encounters I'm more of the line of,"Sorry, AP said what the AP said, sux to be you."

I will consider very carefully before I even think about making changes to the AP.

I change things all the time. Kind of a necessity since I don't run games in Golarion, but rather in my group's homebrew setting.

It also doesn't help that your group is b!*&&++ insane and tends to force change on the poor APs like a mafia enforcer with a shiny new baseball bat to break in.

It just ain't the same 'til it's got a few dings in it, y'know?

Should I get the cement shoes ready boss?

Yeah. It's time they went t' sleep wit' th' sahuagin.

Welcome. I strongly suggest you join a message-board gang if you want to survive. ;-)

I's strongly suggest you's choose wisely. If'n you knows what's good for you's.

He's next.

Busts out Zero Pistol, points it at everyone

Alright hands up and Brains in the bag! i'm sick of being subtle! all i get are crackpots and drunk ass farmers!

... are you movin' in on our turf? I think yer movin' in on our turf.

*wiggles*

Hidey-ho neighbor!

Bo'b.

Bo'b's a good fellah. Don't give no lip, always puts in 'is hours, real team playah. Don't wanna hear no badmouthin' 'im, y'see?

I don't think anyone thinks Louis is planning on actually converting these worlds specifically. But people saying "I want more Dark Sun" gives a pretty concise way of saying "I want more post-apocalyptic, harsh worlds with a heavy focus on survival with some psionic flavor and some things I'm certainly forgetting".

Are you trying to peak inside of my head? It is a scary place.

We can take 'em.

Not so much invasion as, say, occupation, y'see?

Strictly for my FAWTLS

Brainfather approved.

Brain tax.

Th' boys escort Sissyl in t' "see" th' Brainfather.

Oh hey man, thought you was with them scuzzheads. Sorry 'bout the false alarm.

Hey man, I'll see what I can do. I got R'occo and F'rankie an' they ain't done any leanin' in a while an' they're startin' ta get bored.

Ya know that ain't real goblin brains, right? 'S jus' mite an' kobold wit' a fresh coat'a paint. Ain't nobody knows th' diff'rence. 'S good business!

No. I'm too busy protesting the consumption of goblin brains at Paizocon 2014. Maybe I should go pee on that thread...

You again? S'teve, get 'im outta 'ere!

For woik of exquisite quality and consistent presence the Don would like to award ya this certificate. Keep up the good work, pal.

T'ony, R'occo, le's go, we got woik on the south side needin' doin'.

Christopher: Mess with the squid, you get the tentacles.

Yeah, y'see?

So many new brains on our turf. Hey T'ony, you gettin' this? The Brainfather's gonna wanna know everythin' about it.

Sure, sure. We got a deal then.

Huzzah!

You're just happy to have another source of grey matter to much on. ;)

The Brainfather and the Deadlord gots an agreement, see? They get the brains south of the Masy-Dixy, north is our department. Keeps the turf wars on the down-low and nobody goes hungry. Everybody wins. 'Cept the entrees, but nobody cares 'bout them, y'know?

Scintillae wrote:

But I'm already on that list for the spont-casting thing!

You are? Well, looks like that puts you up in the top ten. And it probably means you get a visit from some special members of The Horde - probably the clown midgets or the banjo rednecks.

... that's a turf violation, pal. You rotts keep down south, nice an' cozylike, an' leave right well alone what goes on outside yer territory, y'know? Don't wanna have t' bring this up in fronta th' Brainfather, y'know, we's can just leave it between the twos of us.

Ain't no reason we's gotta get on each other's bad side, y'hear? There's brains 'nuff ta go 'round fer alla us. Yous just stick ta yous, we's just stickin' ta we's.

christopher: Your ranks in Craft(manifesto) are of no help here.

You's tryin' to get smart wit us?

Having a tough adventure?

Need some backup support?

It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the future of construct allies. . .The Enforcement Droid, Series 209, or ED-209, are a fully-automated series of constructs created by Omni Consumer Products. Currently, the units are programmed for urban pacification, but OCP has also negotiated contracts with the military for use in war.

Get one for yourself today!

I don't know why, but first time I read this it was "Programmed for urban petrification".

That would be an interesting typo in the code I suspect....
"Hey boss.... you know how the last guy said that sorting this was like straightening medusa hair? Funny he should use that turn of phrase..."

Jeez, don't remind me. Last medusa job was hell.

New competition muckin' in on our turf, eh?

We heard you was movin' in on our turf. Gotta pay your protection dues. Hand over the brains an' nobody has ta get hurt.

We heard ya's thinkin' about havin' yerselfs a unauthorized rampage down 'ere.

Bismillah!! No we will not let you go!!!

...My fortune cookie just told me that I will get an offer I cannot refuse.

*bangs on cerebellum* Open up in 'ere, see!

I still need a few more levels before I can qualify for the Derpwarden PrC. :/

Wardens? We don't need no stinkin' wardens. Get 'er, boys.

I got a seventh sense sayin' we gonna need to be havin' a talk with some folks again soon....

J'immy. Go get th' wagon. *undulates tentacles irritably*

Boys, time ta close in on th' turf.

I'm surprised no one here has mentioned Rusty and Company. (A rust monster, a gelatinous cube, and a mimic decide to become adventurers. What's the worst that could happen??) MUCH hilarity. And somewhere in their archives is the Single Greatest Bluff Check Ever.

We hears you been movin' in our turf.

Forgot this one somehow! Despite having this alias even. Thanks for the reminder ;)

"Wan' we should lean on 'em a little, boss?"

"Nah. They're small-time. Ain't worth the effort ta crack th' skull. We got bigger brains t' boil."

We's got a few boys spent some time in that slammer. It ain't gonna happen again. We made extra special sure of that.

*undulates tentacles irritably*

T'ony. Take R'occo and M'ugsy and pay these folks a visit. The Brainfather's hearin' helmet talk again and it ain't makin' him happy.
