These arrows in her head did not slow Kethe down one bit. The ogre that walloped her with its hammer did, but couldn't take her out.

I think Goblins Henchman​ wanted me to draw an umber hulk in under 10 minutes? I can't find the notification anymore.

The Perfect Crime The church of Wee-Jas (death goddess) tried to have our party assassinated, so last session we busted into their church and killed them all. Everyone thinks they were good guys though, so we have to cover our tracks. This involves my warlock plane shifting our enemy’s severed heads (can’t cast speak with dead on a headless corpse) to the Abyss to be disposed of in a ball of magic plasma that’s inside the eye-socket of a giant skull castle. I love D&D.

One kid wakes up with a swollen eye-lid. She’s got a stye or something. Looks terrible. Other kid has a rash on his face and broke out in hives last night (happens sometimes, sensitive skin or something) but they went away. He had another breakout at school today and the nurse called saying she had checked him for lice because she thought they were bites. Gross little urchins.

TPK in the goblin cave of Mines of Phandelver. Two dragonborn and a tiefling sworn to kill all humans broke into the caves, killed the human prisoner, but were prevented from further murder by the heroic goblins of the cave.

DIY dice look good on the board.

This morning's DIY project: SAGA dice

GenCon events registered! I was pretty far back in the queue, but thanks to James LaManna we will be in Karl Keesler's first session of Kung Fury II, setting the bar for all others. Also got into Stacy Dellorfano's Zaya's Promise, and one of Clint Krause's Driftwood Verses game. Also giving the DCC tournament a shot.

GENCON NERDS What events are you running? I got Clint Krause and Karl Keesler's already. What are the rest of you nerds running?

Hey, this guy is on G+. He sells maps that are great for roll20 or whatever for a buck apiece (and a ton of free stuff). I’ve bought several. They’ve got a simple, sketchy quality I really like. Good detail, but not cluttered. Often available with a grid or without. Matthew Nelson this is where my mine map for Perdition came from.

Just about finished listening to Enemy of God book 2 in Bernard Cornwell’s Warlord Chronicles. It’s so grimdark I love it so much.

Gonna try to introduce 5e to one of my little cousins who is already playing Maze Rats Anomalous Subsurface Environment. But how to keep the gonzo going in 5e? Oh yeah, this abandoned project where the PCs are dino-people. Might start running Phandelver with all the goblins turned into monkey men.

Maze Rats Anomalous Subsurface Environment session 3 TPK! A room full of hostile jury-rigged automatons screaming for new bones killed three of four, and an exploding ancient rifle did in the fourth. The new party encountered Terry and Phil at the foot of the mountain, claiming their treasure map had been stolen and they were recruiting help to get it back. The party agreed to help them, but as soon as they were at the Gatehouse entrance, immediately befriended the bear living there and sicced it on Terry and Phil. Terry, Phil, and the bear were last seen running down the mountainside. Inside, the new party quickly dispatched the rest of the automatons, looted their former party's bodies for treasure, found the entrance to the ASE, killed the automaton guarding the entrance, and entered. The new party is: Crossbot the robot wait, he died, Mad Scientist the Mad Scientist Poppy and Finny, twin Moktars Super Elf Jr., son of the now deceased Super Elf.

The good news: these dudes look great assembled and the Fireforge spears I bought fit perfectly. The bad: these are the only two guys whose hands I don't need to drill out.

Good morning.

Ray read Stay Frosty. Originally shared by Ray Otus 2.2 Stay Frosty by Casey Garske 2017, 34 pages, RPG - sci-fi, military, bug hunt (The numbering – I'm numbering my RPG reads as 2.x until I hit about 250 pages, at which point I will count them as "a" book and start a new count.) Oh, hell yeah. This is a fun little traditional RPG based on The Black Hack , but inverted so that roll ≥ stat is good. (TBH used roll ≤ stat.) You play sci-fi soldiers in high stakes situations. The game covers classes, ranks, gear, skills, crit miss/hit tables, and even vehicles. It's heavily focused on combat, but that makes sense. Most of it is predictable, but fun and good. So what's different/interesting? For one thing, damage spills into attribute damage, which heals more slowly and affects rolls. That seems very smart to me. And in case you were wondering, yes there are psykers. (Yay!) The other unexpected mechanic gives the game its name. Characters have a meter from 1-6 that ...

I love step 1 of the Pokemon card game.

A handsome toad that came out to sunbathe on the deck for a bit this weekend. I like to think all the toads we see on our deck are the same toad. And that may be the case.

Good lord baby birds are ugly.

Well, I'm in it now. Just ordered enough West Wind and Gripping Beast minis to make a six-point Briton warband for SAGA.

Not super excited about running a 5K this morning, but we did it.

Our response when Abby tells us boys in her class are using the school dress code to harass the girls now that warm weather is here. Shorts have to be lower than fingers with arms at your side. Boys are telling girls their shorts are too short or telling them to hold their hands at their sides so the boy can check to make sure they’re within dress code. I said the following were acceptable responses to this: -Telling them to fuck off. -Flipping them off. -Kicking them in the balls repeatedly. -Pulling their stupid basketball shorts down and saying they’re out of dress code (the boys code is mostly about baggy jeans and underwear showing.) -Headbutting. -Murder. -We settled on saying, “Let’s go talk to a teacher about it right now,” and telling the nearest teacher she was being harassed. And telling all her friends they should do the same thing. We emailed the school asking if they knew about this, how serious we thought it was, and what they were going to do about it. They called us ba...

Originally shared by **** We lost a battle. Here's how we win the war. To become law, Trumpcare has to go through 4 additional steps: 1. Pass an amended version in the Senate 2. Go to “conference“ to hammer out differences between the House and Senate 3. Pass in the House again 4. Pass in the Senate again I hope you’ll be there every step of the way, until Trumpcare collapses under the weight of its own cruelty. Here’s what you can do: 11 days of congressional recess starts today. At this very moment, your Representatives are on flights back home to your district. Over the next week they’ll be holding fundraisers and working out of their district offices. As of today, only 5 members of Congress have scheduled town halls. First, call on them publicly to have a town hall to explain their vote on Trumpcare. If they won’t, show up at their district office and give clear feedback. When these members are forced to vote again on Trumpcare, they will look back to the responses of their con...

Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
