    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.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

Life is short and unfair.

Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
