It's not that simple, really. Obviously you have to account for distance issues and range of capacity, and the majority of the time unless you're in a highly-concentrated psychic locale - such as here in Whispering Rock - you'll never have more than one or two true psychics in the vicinity of entire cities.
Secondly you're not properly attuned to the Brain Tumbler yet. Let me fix that and then we can start this over from the beginning. I'll need to see your signed wavier first though. Need to make sure my ass is covered, just in case.
Speaking of, put on some pants, man, for the love of God.

At least now you know how easy/difficult it is to break-in. (Just in time to move)
To be fair, it is a gated apartment complex in a suburban town. In other areas, the windows would probably have locks (as well as grates if they were on the ground floor).
But yes, it is alarmingly simple to get into my apartment without a key.

You are like one of those Dragon Age walking corpses animated by demonic spirit, aren't you?
The only animating spirit I have is an indwelling of cynicism, and I think that's beautiful weather to be envied.

Never underestimate mites. They may have s%~@ for hit points, but their vermin friends can be brutal.
That dungeon was such a blast for my group.
Mikmek the kobold survived a critical hit from the giant centipede, forever cementing his reputation as a badass to the rest of the party. He later became their Royal Executioner/Assassin.
The Oracle in my group got a crit card on the tick that switched placed with it. So suddenly she's standing with the chief on her shoulders and the rest of the party has the tick right in their midst. Everybody suddenly freaked out. Then the barbarian kicked it into the (now dead) centipede's chasm.
And the whole time I was doing this incredibly annoying "Nyyyyoooooooan" voice for the mites to illustrate how pathetic they looked and sounded. My players hate that voice to this day.
If I remember rightly, this was the beginning of the long string of "Oops I crit" "Oh no not again" random magic effects.

78 at 6 AM portends terrible things. Unless it portended a cold front, and 78 was actually the high temperature for the day, then OK, except for maybe the tornadoes.

I keep not noticing the 6 AM part.
That's not too far off from the low today here though.

Thirdly, during our Kingmaker session last night, I almost killed my brother's character. That'll learn him to run ahead of the rest of the party!! Lucky for him, the giant tick wasn't doing bite damage while it grappled him - just sucking blood.

I almost killed our dwarf ranger with that tick. Heh heh heh.

I would squeal "DooooOOOOOOOOooooom!" in the highest pitched, most annoying voice I could manage when they used their doom ability.
It.....definitely stuck in my players' heads.

I never actually used that ability... I kept forgetting they had it.

Yesterday, I finished making a list of the 414 most important gods of Planescape for my players as a reference (and, honestly, for myself as well. I keep forgetting how to type Blibdoolpoolp).
Did you know there are 21 different gods claiming power over the Sphere of War, but only one claming control over Pools? Talk about priorities!
And there are two Gods of Sleepiness.
