This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.

ReplyDeleteIf they come back to my house I hope I'm at work and they show my wife the letter.

ReplyDeleteIf I had sent something like that out, I would hope to be AT HOME when they come back, while wearing my Tim the Enchanter cap.
and nothing else
ReplyDeleteCasey Garske You're my hero for the next 3d10 turns.
ReplyDeleteI would wear my black DM robes, of course.
ReplyDeleteI just realized the return address is their local church, not a private residence. Good enough.
ReplyDeletegraph paper's a nice touch, I have to say.
ReplyDeleteI would put on my robe and wizard hat.
ReplyDeleteBut I confess it's a little troubling to me. I can't quite express why.
OK I think it's because they're going to feel that you're making fun of them, especially because "magic" is against their religion. I mean, that might not bother you, but I am just explaining why I feel the way I do. I never liked being made fun of. I am much less convinced that the leaders of these religious organizations are sincere than I am of the people doing the proselytizing.
ReplyDeleteI get it. If it's making fun of anything, it's proselytizing, not their religion. And I'm totally fine with making fun of proselytizing. If just the thought of D&D offends them, that's on them.
ReplyDeleteA fair point!
