Today's posts are brought to you by wights. When PCs get cocky, nothing will make them run away faster than good old-fashioned, level-draining wights.

    Vampires used to have level drain too.

    Don't tell the players, but in my Burning Wheel Ravenloft game, if you get vampire-bit you can end up having skill and stat levels permanently drained.

    As a level-draining undead monstrosity (albeit with a lemony icon), I approve this message.

    Five wights in tonight's dungeon. Totally optional encounter. But will the PC's open those coffins for the sweet loot that must be inside? Those bone golems must have been guarding something awesome right?

    Just don't make the same mistake with them I did. I had a necromancer PC back in the heady days of 2E and inspired by Doctor Strange, I decided I wanted a faithful manservant for my sorcerer. But because I was also competitive I wanted two manservants. 

    Creating the wights wasn't a problem. Controlling them was. Very shortly thereafter, my necromancer was drained by his undead major domos, left powerless and then eaten by carrion crawlers.

    Which just goes to show you: Two wights don't make a wong.

    Did you notice that XP makes the same face you make when you hear a bad pun?

    Sorry, there's no such thing as a bad pun.

Your Beat 'em Ups! Give them to me!

Your Beat 'em Ups! Give them to me! My daughter and I have played the hell out of X-Men on my PS3. I'm bored! She's not, she could blow up sentinels with Storm all day long. Are there other button-mashers out there that: -Have a playable female character (so Ninja Turtles are out) -Available on PS3 -Multiplayer I'm aware Dungeons & Dragons: Shadows of Mystara comes out in June. Can't wait. But until then, I need something new since I can't listen to "Nothing stops the Blob!" again.
