“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.”
No, she gets it from her mom. If I'm enjoying a mystery, I get caught up in the reading and don't examine the clues too much. I might have a light bulb moment, but not that often.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
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.
How long 'til she gets confirmation?

ReplyDeleteMaking quality inferences based on clues in the text. That is high level skill for 5th graders.
