  1. What Are You Listening To?

    I was about to advise that she do exactly something like that but Don Edwards beat me to it. This is a good strategy. I highly recommend it.

    Anyone deliberately charging into that cloud to get at Raven. DUH. Yes, that would be just ONE of many, many reasons it isn't tactically advantageous to blind oneself by charging into an enemy smoke cloud. I once ran a game of D&D where several casters on different sides were casting spells. It was extremely chaotic. In one spot we ended up having spells of Darkness, Blade Barrier and Silence landing right on top of one another in rapid succession. This was entirely unplanned by anyone and thus no-one (apart from me, who could hardly believe my own eyes) knew exactly what had happened except for the caster of the Blade Barrier who stood inside the dark and silent area and so couldn't warn anyone. In the following round two player characters charged into the darkness to get at the caster and both got horribly mutilated by the Barrier. They staggered back out, bleeding and terrified, unsure what had happened as I of course had not specified precisely what sort of thing they had stumbled into. There was of course only one thing for the rest of the group to do and they did it. They charged into the darkness to get at whatever thing had so badly hurt their friends. (No, they didn't win that fight, why do you ask?)

    Maybe they get automated updates from Snapchat?
  4. Story Friday 22, December 2017

    I have to admit that it takes a special kind of stupid to overconfidently charge into a cloud of darkness a wizard just created. Me, I'd much rather throw something in there that would make remaining inside it a bad idea. A grenade, maybe a handful of caltrops... I just don't see the tactical value of deliberately blinding yourself.

    And tomorrow we should have FIVE GOOOOLD RINGS?
  6. Story Wednesday December 27, 2017

    Hrm. He got at least a hint in this situation, but I'll still agree with your point. That wasn't enough to really predict what Susan would act like during a time of actual crisis.
  7. What Are You Watching?

    Batman, of course.
  8. Story Wednesday December 27, 2017

    I don't think so, no.
  9. Things You Find Amusing

    Of course not, he saved time.

    I dunno if I would really call slavery a 'job.'

    Big talk from the Pharaoh who based his entire kingdom on a pyramid scheme.
  12. Computer General Discussion and Tech Help

    You just gave me a horrible flashback to a time when I was happy if I got like 3.5 KB/sec. The net has come so far in the last twenty years.
  13. What Are You Ingesting?

    It is only for special occasions.
  14. Story Friday 22, December 2017

    Easy!
  15. What Are You Watching?

    Not the worst idea. Personally, I am watching A Certain Magical Index.

    Or witches. As Terry Pratchett clearly states, a witch should never position herself between two mirrors.
  17. Things That Are Just Annoying

    At least that way the Prof will have suffered no worse than a close shave.

    PLAYTESTING!
  19. What Are You Watching?

    Ouch. I hope they will all recover okay. :/
  20. Things That Are Just Annoying

    If so I hope they didn't get away with more than two bits.
  21. What Are You Watching?

    You have not missed much. But Pharaoh is correct; this is what was alluded to. It wasn't actual Latin.
  22. Things That Are Just Annoying

    I wonder how much a natural or declared disaster costs since one was credited to your account.
  23. Things You Find Amusing

    For me it captures the spirit of Christmas: peace, love and mutual acceptance, which was the entire point of the music of the Wyld Stallyns.
  24. Things You Find Amusing

    There is that Christmas movie supreme, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
