Traumatization of my children continues with Coop’s viewing of The Iron Giant last night. Everything was fine until the deer got shot.
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.
My kids were fine until the Iron Giant went berzerk at the end.
ReplyDeletei can nearly bring my children to tears just by saying "superman" in an iron giant-like voice. my oldest is 17.
ReplyDeleteHit them with Animal Farm and Watership Down, and send a therapist's kid to college... Throw in Wizards early enough, and pick up a psychiatrist's kid, too!
ReplyDeleteSee, if you had Ol' Yeller-ed them early enough, they would be immune to everything else.
ReplyDeleteKenneth Cummins no Plague Dogs? what is this, amateur hour?
ReplyDeleteHe recovered after the deer, but the picosecond the giant’s eyes turned red, he said, “What does it mean when his eyes turn red?” Then there was much wailing and I had to ask if he wanted me to stop the movie or if he could promise to keep it together. He absolutely did not want to shut it off and we negotiated a two-minute break to collect ourselves before starting again.
ReplyDelete“I never want to see a movie with a dead deer again!” So Bambi is out forever.
This is the kid who totally blindsided me by saying he never wanted to watch Guardians of the Galaxy again because of the mom dying at the beginning. He was obsessed with talking about cancer for a week.
Luke is traumatized by the destruction of Cloud KooKoo land in the Lego movie. He made me promise that they went back and rebuilt Uni-Kittie's home after the movie was over. I swear he cried for 2 days.
