"Nasty, big pointy teeth!"
I almost commented on that, but I try to be nicer in the mornings ;)
Something about it just didn't sit right with me. Then I realized.

Shameful, really.

11,000 total posts! I think we passed it yesterday, or very early today, but just wanted to call it out and announce a prize: one free (near) TPK to a party of my choice!

I realize now I should have announced this earlier in the day, sorry.

Sorry all--wife's pneumonia and six big projects at work have really taken a toll on my time over the past week. She's in slow recovery but work continues apace. Expect routine but not as fast-paced updates from me until next week. (hopefully 1/day for each active thread)

Glad to hear she's on the mend. Being sick sucks!

Yeah, I'm coming down with the same thing I think (doc's appt Wednesday), but honestly her being sick affects me a LOT more than me being sick. :)

As the adventurers begin to move out into new regions, I'm considering adopting something like what's laid out in the article below. Right now I'm just using region-specific random encounter tables that get gradually depopulated as certain things are eliminated or driven out, and repopulated as new things move in, but I'm curious as to folks' thoughts about the approach described. It might generally prove to make wandering monsters less dangerous, but I would probably roll more often (right now I do 3 rolls per day in less-explored areas, versus the 4-6+ daily that many games do for overland travel.

So we might not run into actual wandering monsters as much, but we might come across signs of wandering monsters more often? Interesting. I like it.

I like it too. It seems like it would add a lot of depth and mystery to how encounters start.

It's my birthday! (I always provide a fake birth date to websites by force of habit--I had crazy paranoid live-in-a-hut parents and it gave me some odd social tics). And Sepp Blatter resigned as head of FIFA! This is cause for celebration!

Each active character gets a small metal flask of Brew of Healing. If untouched, it can be swallowed in one draught for 1d6 HP of instant healing. It can also be drunk in a more measured way, providing one HP of healing per sip. Only one sip can be taken per round, and metered out in this way the flask contains five portions.

Happy Birthday! And +1 on Blatter. Now maybe they'll redo the bidding for the 2022 World Cup.

And thanks for the potion!

I think it would take a huge amount of further change in a short window for that to happen, but I appreciate your optimism :)

Did anyone else catch Sunday's episode of John Oliver's Last Week Tonight about FIFA and Blatter? I am not saying his show is responsible for the resignation, but the timing is awfully funny.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Happy Birthday Keehnelf and thanks for the present.

Happy birthday! How old are you now?

And thank you!

I've got a few years on you. You ain't seen nothin' yet. Just wait until 40. It's like the warranty expired and everything starts breaking down. Muhaha!
