View From the Bushes

Well once again I'm writing this from the D&D table. This time it's the "work" campaign. Like most D&D campaigns this one is composed of a pocket protector (I think that's the correct term) of geeks. The DM confessed to me as I showed up that if it wasn't for DireKobold that he would be totally screwed. I guess that means I've sold one person on the idea, now I only need to sell 57,896,234 more and I can buy that personal sub I've always wanted. Actually I decided what I actually want is a mini. The S class has a 163 hp engine. Do you have any idea how fast you can go in 50 lb car with a 163 hp engine?

But I digress, back to the campaign. The DM appears to be running the first Adventure Path module ("One Day's Journey into Night" by Wil Upchurch). Though so far I don't recognize anything. He opened the session by having halfling kidnappers who ride worgs attack the party. Wil has put together some (One of the players just said, "What I don't need is another dying person who can't tell me where my stuff is!") interesting creatures, just wait until you see the final bad guy in his next adventure, but I don't recall any pink bathrobes (another DM embellishment?).

In other news it turns out that the emperor Caligula wasn't as bad as people always thought, telephone psychics are a scam not merely for the callers but also for the psychics, which is somewhat surprising. Also in the news Strom Thurmond is dead and it's not too late to sign up for the Third Annual Nigerian E-mail Conference.
