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, for one, welcome our cephalopod overlords.

Yeah, yeah, Paul. Back to your cell now or you'll be getting the "treatment" again.

ReplyDeleteOmg so delicious! I hope they conquer Lake Michigan, too!
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that, toward the end of the dinosaurs, a small, smart-ish dinosaur named Struthiomimus had a population boom. The explanation presented at the time was that as living conditions became tougher, intelligence became disproportionately useful, more so than other abilities.
ReplyDeleteThe argument concluded with the idea that the human population boom may be the same phenomenon - alternating ice ages make for brutal living conditions unless you can adapt, and that takes brains.
I hear octopi are pretty smart.
