The Gaming Den

If he can also fire through the hole, Lucas will set down his lantern and the oil flasks and get out his sling, then join the others in shooting at the vegepygmies.

Anyway, having read it, I stand by my Fuck You. Okay, I am really confused could you elaborate on why you still say that. Yeah, fine. She identifies some traits as being viewed by society as traditionally masculine or feminine. She notes that "strong women" are often presented as visually...

Lucas digs out several of the flasks of oil from his pack. "Good idea. But we can also burn them out."

Anyway, having read it, I stand by my Fuck You.

Holy shit. Fuck you and the movement you rode in on.

Lucas winces at the wail, and covers an ear with his free hand. The noise drives him back against the wall, and when the fruits hatch, he is the first to head back through the tunnel.

Shouting over the ringing in his ears, he says, "I have oil, let's kill it with fire!"

Sorry about that. I missed AH's prior post because it went up at the same time as my last one. Caught up now, though there's not much for Lucas to do yet.

Lucas also stays back, keeping his distance from the strange fruits and long vines. "Ugh, that stinks! Good thing it can't reach us."

Just take 20 levels of Beguiler instead. It's an illusion/enchantment wizard except better and super beginner friendly. You don't have to worry about picking the right spell, because you have automatic access to your entire spell list at all times. No dumpster diving needed, the class just has every...

Lucas holds his lantern off to the side when the Bro comes in for a hug, careful not to singe the creature. Still a little light headed from the spores, he follows through the hole.

Lucas is a lightweight when it comes to spores, bro.

"Stairs that lead up? Like a stairway to, to heaven, man. We should go up those stairs. Yeah. Up. Stairs. Upstairs." Lucas starts giggling to himself, but is otherwise ready to follow the others to the monolith.

"Whoa, I can hear him. But he's not talking. Can everyone else hear him?" Lucas asks.

I love it when people force the entire universe into two groups: their own faction, and the grotesquely evil faction that everyone who doesn't agree with them swears allegiance to. If people really wanted to stop rape, they wouldn't be trying to change how men behaved. They'd be trying to change ho...

"Y'all know what you're doing. Just tell me where to go, and I'll follow." Lucas says.

This might help.

"But what if they don't want to fight us? They've been down here all this time, they might be friendly." Lucas says. "Wait, no. That sounded better in my head. Yeah, let's go."

Lucas jerks back at the noise, causing his lantern to shake and everyone's shadows to slide and jump across the walls. Once he recovers, though, he is glad to see another skeleton destroyed. He attempts to peer over or around the block, to see how much of the corridor is blocked.

Oh, I wasn't talking about rules disputes. I mean genuine house rules, like "draw a free card whenever you play a land" or "players start at 50 life" or "graveyards are only for creatures". People had some crazy takes on the game back in the day. But when the pro tour g...

Tournaments are a big part of moving players from "oh I played that" to "oh I spent a fortune on that" which is obviously important. But the importance of rules seriously will spill over into casual games. Back in 1994, different magic groups had a huge variety of personal house ...

"Um, okay. You can all go ahead, then. I'll follow with the light." Lucas says, still not getting any closer to the skeletons than he has to.

Lucas waits patiently while the others work on the trap and the inscription.

You can give people bigger numbers at higher level if you want. If players can get an AC bonus from magic spells OR a shield, then not everyone will have a shield. That's true even if the bonus starts at +2 and rises to +10 with levels. But if they can have a magic spell AND a shield, then everyone ...

(Yeah, Lucas entered the room as soon as the others showed it to be safe. No way was he waiting alone in the hall.) "Is there something out there?" Lucas asks, wondering how the door came closed on its own. He listens at the door to try to hear if there is any noise from the corridor. Then...

Lucas follows the others, with his lantern. Since he doesn't want to dissolve in a puddle of acid, he waits for them to check the room before joining them at the shrine.
