    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.

    Oh, and when I see this picture I get Don't Go Into That Barn by Tom Waits stuck in my head. :P

    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.

Correction in comments, I'm still mad

Correction in comments, I'm still mad Ok, I found out the 5e allosaurus from Tomb of Annihilation was only CR2 and was outraged, so I made a comparison of a D&D character and allosaurus specimen MOR 693. Then I compared the allosaurus to a polar bear, also CR2. The bear has 5HD and the allosaurus has 6HD. So, I take it back. CR 2 is fine.

From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
