I love comedy adventures. Come to think of it I've never had a gaming session that didn't degenerate into hysterical laughter at some point in the evening. And we're running standard modules. But our characters have names like Rusterford Shackleford and Perra Panteese.

I just told someone that Ahsoka (Anakin's girl padawan in Clone Wars) was short for Ahsokin Panteese.

I am not sending these articles to my two biggest gaming pals because both of them are GMing for me and I don't want to give them any silly ideas.

I changed my mind. I want to fight a groundsquid!

I bet that origami golem can give you a mean papercut!

He mocked the Ragamuffin pretty soundly, but I always thought it was kind of cool. There's something a little creepy about a fluttering, animate cloud of fabric shards that swoop by on the wind, surround you and possess you.

He seems to be opposed to animated fabrics of all kinds.

I think in some of those cases, he's letting his fine sense of the silly to blind him to some creepy/scary possibilities.

I'm running the Shackled City Adventure Path (in 3.5, not 4E - that conversion would give me a migraine) and the ragomoffyn plays a big role in the first adventure.

And it totally freaked out the party. It almost got the cleric. Who is of Kord, so is freakishly strong, as well as the walking first-aid kit.

Yeah - they may be mockworthy to some, but not to my group of players. :)

Oooo, Shackled City!

I thought about writing him (with links!) to point out that the Japanese have a demon who appears as a floating piece of fabric, but A) those were old blog posts and B) I'm not sure saying "but the Japanese think it's scary" was going to be a strong argument with him.

(Although, dude, Japanese horror is SCARY)

I totally adore Shackled City. I've tweaked it (I mean, what DM is ever 100% satisfied with anyone else's writing?), but I love the slow buildup of pace.

My party thinks they're just doing nice things for town, getting a reputation, becoming slowly more and more wealthy and accomplished. They're suspicious of one plot twist so far, but not enough to divert off the rails (which I'm prepped for).

When the reveals start to happen, they're going to PANIC.

And I will LAUGH and LAUGH and LAUGH.

30 Years of Very Stupid D&D Monsters

I love that article. I had a tagline from it for a while.

Is the Gelatinous Cube in there?

Of course! As are the rules for using it as a combat mount.

There's one little-distributed supplement, the Book of Erotic Fantasy, that includes a comeliness score for a gelatinous cube. And... it's positive. 2, I think. Who's scoping out one of these things and thinking, "I'd hit that"?

Just have them pursued by one relentlessly - albeit slowly - until they pass out from exhaustion (or ennui; I'm not choosy), and have them slowly GLOMMMMMMMED to death.

I once hid one in a mist-filled corridor. First row just walked right into it. Good times, good times.
