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.
I'm not sure what you mean, Casey. The one on the left looks like a Troödon, the right is clearly some sort of ornithomimid. Both have been plucked.
ReplyDeleteThe ornithomimid appearance of the one on the right is due to the unpredictable mutation process. The text refers to the creature as related to dromaeosaurs.
ReplyDeleteThe creature on the left has his display feathers hidden under his hat. His northern cousins are fully feathered as protection from cold.
Both are experts in temporal physics and travel.
Ornithomimids are "related to dromaeosaurs". They're both maniraptoriformes.
ReplyDeletei like dinosaurs
Is this the origin story of Doctor Dinosaur?
ReplyDeleteBehold! An ordinary train conductor!
ReplyDeleteYou could watch the ultra-dull Dino Dan.
ReplyDeleteIt has more dino facts, but it's Canadian blandness turned up to 11.
Quiet Alec Oh, wow. I'm actually not sure! I don't know of any good, recent "ground floor" dinosaur books. Casey might, though, since he also likes dinosaurs (and, unlike me, has kids).
ReplyDeleteQuiet Alec If you want a book for adults that covers a lot of different dinosaurs, including some that are quite obscure, there's this:

After listening to the Dinosaur Train rockabillyesque theme song I had to pirate and watch Brannagh narrated Walking With the Dinosaurs. Such are the burdens of fatherhood.
ReplyDeleteThe kids are sick of my impression of King Cryolophosaurus.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is addicted to dinosaur train.
ReplyDeleteDon't let your kids get hooked on the (iron) Horse.
