Old Chub, you are a harsh mistress.

Kinda drunk and just trying to fuck up other people's routes.

A Thousand Dead Babies success. Spoilers follow... . . . . . . . . The Juju tree was saved. Father McKenzie was confronted about his infidelity. The Goat of the Woods was killed along with the cult leaders from Corroc. But the Black Knight escaped. The halfling druid ended up taking the bassinet. After spawning three babies they tried to just leave town without the basket. Adventure ended when they realized the halfling was cursed. He tried to go to his druid circle to have them kill him and then reincarnate him to break the curse, but he went insane and started leaving babies on people's doorsteps, becoming a legend.

Gonna run A Thousand Dead Babies for these unsuspecting fucks.

Better catch up on games I've played before I start forgetting.

My brother in law's cousin was killed by a drunk driver going the wrong way on the freeway. I was reading this story about the accident. I looked at the comments for some stupid reason. Even with a picture of a white dude and the asshole's name in the story, comments are saying an ”illegal” must have done it. Jebus, people. http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2015/01/27/wrong-way-driver-phoenix-camelback-abrk/22393005/

1001 Pagodas of Doom - 2nd Pagoda Came to a door I couldn't get through in the first pagoda, searched for a second to plunder, planning to come back to the first after procuring a crowbar or after leveling and trying to pick the lock again. My roll indicated finding another pagoda entrance took an hour which meant a wandering monster roll. My luck continued as it has and 14 Pa'Kua Kobolds attacked me. I was doing ok, and had taken out eight of them when they got some lucky rolls and took Loplop down. They left him for dead, stealing his money, equipment, and fried rats. But they left him the one piece of treasure he's found so far. A calligraphy scroll worth 85 silver pieces. So far this venture has been a bust for Loplop. But there's nothing to do but continue now. He needs something to show for his trouble.

Abby loves this song. I knew there was something screwy with it. Apparently the kid claims he'd never heard of Tom Petty? What kind of world do we live in? Originally shared by Phil Nickinson Yep.  http://www.avclub.com/article/heres-how-alike-stay-me-and-i-wont-back-down-reall-214397

The 1001 Pagodas of Doom - 1st Expedition Coming up pretty empty so far. A gas trap sent Loplop back to the entrance for a couple hours to recover, forcing a couple wandering monster rolls. So some bandits were surprised to find Loplop. He punched a bunch out and they retreated. Now I've got a locked copper door and I'm not sure I can open it.

Scarlet Heroes - Mad Monks of Kwantoom Action in Loplop's second day of just trying to shop for equipment in his home district of Kwanloom. I'd barely been able to buy flint and steel, some firecrackers, and some darts the day before. Now in the Kenku ghetto of Little Heavenly Murder (post from my campaign community follows): Loplop is accosted by nine kenku thugs thinking to kidnap him and make his master pay a ransom! They are unaware Master Wang has died and that is why Loplop has decided to seek his fortune in the 1001 Pagodas of Doom. Round 1: Loplop swings wildly, apparently missing, but knocking one kidnapper in the face with his elbow accidentally. (Missed attack, Fray die 1HD DM). The remaining 8 kidnappers attack! They batter Loplop for 3 points of damage! Round 2: Being wounded and still severely outnumbered, Loplop attempts to escape the kidnappers, leaping to the rooftops (2d8+2 dex+3 monk trait=13). Three of the kidnappers manage to keep up with him and the fight

Monk Class for Scarlet Heroes Basically similar to the Scarlet Heroes thief, but replacing the sneak attack ability with the unarmed strike and AC bonus. Starting HP: 4 HP per Level: 2 Starting Attack bonus: +1 Att Bonus Gain: ½ pt. per level AC bonus: -1 AC at even levels Unarmed Strike: 1d6 dm, increases 1 die step at 3rd (1d8), 6th (1d10), and 9th (1d12) levels. Fray Die: 1d6 Monk Trait: A bonus 3 pt. Trait describing your martial arts style. Applies to classic monk abilities like feats of acrobatics,  resistance to mental attacks, and resistance to physical effects like poison and disease. Like the thief bonus trait, this increases by 1 every level, leading the monk to being capable of supernatural physical and mental feats. And since the picture is my Kenku/Tengu character, Loplop, here's the simple race traits I'm using. Kenku/Tengu 1 point trait in Kenku Mimicry. Kenku are masters of mimicry and can imitate the voices of anyone they've heard. 1 point trait in Kenku

I've seen encounter drop tables, but not random dungeon drop tables. Since I really only play online lately, those sweet drop tables wouldn't get to impress anyone at the table. A random dungeon generator is a time saver for the busy DM while they're doing their lonely fun prep. Much more useful. Saving this for later.

I’m going to experiment with tracking a solo Scarlet Heroes campaign in a google community. Last time I tried this I did it all in Roll20, but the chat history is not ideal for keeping a log of events. I could use Obsidian Portal, that would certainly be more organized, but bleh. Anyone have experience organizing a solo campaign?

Maleficent was the same story as Frozen, but that's fine because there was no singing and it had treants riding dire boars, a root-wyrm, and a dragon.

Breakfast of Champions for Abby after this weekend's swim meet. She took seconds off her times in every event.

Decided to combine Scarlet Heroes with Mad Monks of Kwantoom. So I had to make a monk class for Scarlet Heroes. I also resurrected my favorite 4e character.

Trying to spot your kid at a swim meet is like trying to find one particular goose in a flock of geese.

Up way too early for a Saturday at a swim meet. Reading Kabuki Kaiser​'s Mad Monks of Kwantoom while the kids warm up. I love these little notes in red. Especially this one.

It lives... Originally shared by Richard LeBlanc I've been tied to my computer all morning writing copy for a web site (for an industrial repair/maintenance/sales company... UGH!). So I decided to take my lunch break to do the inking on this illustration for the Expanded Petty Gods insectman minions entry by Casey Garske. I did the sketch this morning while I was in... uh.. the "library." (Make sure to click on it to see the details of the fake Zip-a-tone effect. I think it turned out pretty good.) #epglives

I read the first four Harry Potter books all in a row. I thought the first two were pretty good, but that the story really picked up in third and fourth, when they started having a more mature tone. Now that I’m reading them with Abby at a much slower pace, I can appreciate the themes Rowling was putting in even in Chamber of Secrets. Racism Classism Murder Governmental incompetence and  corruption Since I read the books so fast, I didn’t really pick up on these themes until they come more to the fore in later books. I’m even more impressed with them now.

“Papa, I have another theory.” “Excellent.” “Tom Riddle tells Harry a girl was killed the last time the Chamber of Secrets was open fifty years ago.” “Right.” “What if that girl was Moaning Myrtle?” “Good theory.”

”So, Papa. I have a theory. ” ”Go on. ” ”If Harry is the only one that can hear the voice before the attacks, maybe it's speaking that snake language.“ “Parseltongue?“ “Yeah, parseltongue.“ “That's a pretty good theory.“

A drone overloaded with methamphetamine crashed into a supermarket parking lot in Tijuana, just feet from the California border. Six clear of the drug, weighing more than six pounds, were taped to the six-propeller remote-controlled aircraft. Based on numbers from the National Drug Abuse, the drone was carrying anywhere from $24,000–$72,000 of the illicit drug. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2015/01/21/drone-filled-with-meth-crashes-into-supermarket-parking-lot-near-mexico-california-border/ bales of cocaine: http://youtu.be/VpoE6yzZrxo http://youtu.be/VpoE6yzZrxo

What do you think, Juan Ochoa? Want to make this look pretty for the cover of my possible/probable dino-man D&D book? The Gorillich tries to grasp our dino-man heroes in his bony ape-hands.

Compy assassins are some of the most feared in Laramidia despite their small size.

Jeez, Corey Thuen you could be doing something worthwhile, like playing D&D, instead of going all Terminator 3 and taking over cars.

Once they have taken one bite from a victim they retreat. Their bite leaves a circular wound that will bleed for 1pt of damage each round until treated with a healing check or magic.

I saw Inherent Vice this weekend. It seems like it's the result of rolling on too many random charts when writing an adventure and expecting the PCs to be able to make sense of it. Although, the plot not making any sense is part of the point I guess?  It was funny, with good performances, especially Josh Brolin. But on the whole, inferior to the original stoner-noir, The Big Lebowski .

Parent Post: The Final Battle Part III: The Battle Never Ends Mute me now! Update to our continuing struggles with the school district over getting a 504 plan in place for a kid with dyslexia and dysgraphia. Last time I wrote about this we’d had a bad meeting with district reps with their denial of a 504 plan for Abby. In the aftermath we filed a grievance with the district, sent a complaint to the Office of Civil Rights, and asked the Pacer Center for advice. We’ve now heard back about all of these. Of course the district denied our grievance. I’m pretty sure the person who wrote the denial was the same woman we spent two hours arguing with at our last meeting. This is like having the police investigate themselves. But I’m not surprised. The OCR called and said there was nothing they could do until we’d gone through the entire procedure as outlined by the district. They closed our complaint and said we could file again later. Thanks. Pacer said they thought we were doing everything ri

And I don't need 37 lines of back-story to do it.
