Not in a scary way, just someone getting so fed up with that terrible wallpaper they had to try and chew it off.<br /><br />D&D's emphasis on having item gear toolbox is one of the many problems I have with the system. I'll just hand my money to another player and tell them to buy what they think I need. Then read a book for the next hour of loot discussion :pJakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987383774108570495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987461543629921122.post-40309651861867124632017-02-01T10:51:51.099-07:002017-02-01T10:51:51.099-07:00In my mind I keep picturing this as drawn by Hergé...In my mind I keep picturing this as drawn by Hergé (of Tintin fame). The Bradford Players turned their Orient Express campaign into a book; I would die a happy man if this one got turned into a graphic novel with the same look as the Tintin comics. Know of any artists out there with a similar style? :P<br /><br />Yup, that was Undermountain. The PC group was only two players (ergo trying to bulk up numbers with the war dogs), and they must've both been playing humans.

Lovecraft than "proper" horror. Not that there's anything wrong with that.<br /><br />(Also, that D&D game you describe sounds like it must be an Undermountain thing, but what kind of party was that where nobody could see in the dark?!)Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02703036758388903082noreply@blogger.com
