Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

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".

move out and draw fire

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

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?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I do have have purple 4, and very happy to use it to help us out of this jam. But is the jump and kill people rollable? I thought if you jumped early, it was death no matter what?
