Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
My 25 is this year. Someone that obvisouly didn't know me pestered me about it. I said basically I hated y'all in high school and avoid "friending" any of you on Facebook so why would I pay $200 to eat a crappy dinner with them.
ReplyDeleteI got blocked.
Totally worth it.
I skipped my 10 year, and attended my 20 year last summer. I was actually happy I went. No one recognized me (my look's changed considerably) and I got to avoid the obnoxious ones and visit with the folks I was friends with.
ReplyDeleteI had a fucking blast trolling our reunion FB group, for reals, too. Any time some posh bitch rolled in with "well, it's it's not formal it's not worth me coming from out of state." I'd reply with "Sorry, who are you?" I got a couple to flouncequit the group. It was awesome.
This party is at the the bar I sometimes go to when I'm home anyway. Every time I go there I catch a glimpse of someone from high-school I don't want to talk to. The thought of them all being in the same room at once...blargh!
ReplyDeleteCasey Garske Hubster played "who are the mean girls?" and "spot the alcoholic" and I enjoyed talking to the spouses more than the classmates. Then again, we had a nice dinner to go with it. I'm just glad I didn't get roped into the planning.
ReplyDeleteLex Larson, thanks for introducing me to the term "flouncequit."
ReplyDeleteI went to my wife's 10th high school reunion. I was bored so I started lying through my teeth and pretended I was a classmate and was kinda hurt that they forgot me. I stretched it further and reminded the how I always wanted to help kids and that I was a pediatric gynecologist and was nominated for the Nate Tate Fellowship at George P. Burdell university. It was going great until someone happened to have gone to Georgia Tech. Then the joke was over.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I would've twigged at 'pediatric gynecologist', myself.
ReplyDeleteIt was a magnet school for health careers with like 50 kids in her graduating class. Most of them were in the medical or scientific field. Literally, nobody caught on until the George P Burdell reference.
ReplyDeleteamazing. I wonder how many would have signed the "Ban DHMO" petition.
