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.

ReplyDeleteThere's a Stuff You Missed in History Class episode about these beasties that will scare you silly.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look that episode up.
ReplyDeleteI know the people who did the exhibit and wrote the related book. Highly recommended.
ReplyDeleteI've seen that exhibit, I think. Where are you? Chicago? Cleveland?
ReplyDeleteChicago at the Field Museum.
ReplyDeleteI think there's a movie about it too. With Val Kilmer maybe?
ReplyDeleteAnd Michael Douglas. I remember liking it.
ReplyDeleteThe Ghost and the Darkness. William Goldman wrote it, and there's the story of a better, lost version in Which Lie Did I Tell.
