    That reminds me of a place in one of my stories, a farmhouse converted to an orphanage that was a half step off prime because the unseelie monster in the high-tech dungeon basement cycled through orphans trying to connect them to its vampiric network to give them superpowers, and only a handful survived.

    gregory blair That actually happened in my campaign. Someone rolled on the Exasperation table from A Red & Pleasant Land while in the farmhouse and found a secret door. I decided it led to the basement, where the thing's brain was barely visible poking out of the dirt floor. They spent a long time just stabbing the shit out of it until it died - I forget the math, but I think we averaged everything out and learned it would take hours of attacking to run through its HP. There was also the scarecrow to deal with, so leaving wasn't quite THAT easy. I still think of it as one of the best games I've run.

    That's pretty wild Justin Stewart​! I like the idea of the Exasperation table leading to something unexpected.

    gregory blair I love that one! Someone did a pretty funny parody of it on Youtube called Scissors. Don't have a link handy, sorry.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

Life is short and unfair.

Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
