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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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.

Don't get me started. There are pages and pages of stories (the Reasons know most of them, too) revolving around this "book".

Isn't this the wrong thread to talk Trek fic?

It's like I don't even know you people.

(and, uh, we have that book)

So, who's up for Fantasy Grounds?

I'd like to jump, or technically, XO someone not in the brig to jump the ship, but I don't relish losing population. Anyone have a Strategic Planning? Are you willing to use it to increase the chance of avoiding casualties?
