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.
Paul Vermeren there's some fascinating Goblin stuff in here too.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading Communion as a tween, and thinking he should have followed all those rape and kidnapping prevention lessons we got as kids. I mean, abduction is abduction, right? =)
ReplyDeleteRelated to that thought, the article touches on how abduction phenomena might be related to 80’s white flight, fear of home invasion, stranger-danger, etc, which I hadn’t really thought of before.
ReplyDeleteScary and still deeply weird even from a publishing POV. What happened to that guy?
ReplyDeleteStill writes books as far as I know. He and Art Bell created the story for that disaster movie "The Day After Tomorrow" about global warming bringing an ice age.
ReplyDeleteHe's got a podcast!
