Boy, wait until they find out that magnetic north isn't true north. Unless it is in the Stickiverse, I guess.

For whatever reason, I’m now wondering if the opening of the next book is going to feature an homage to the destruction of the Blackjack in FF6 when the Order is within spitting distance of the final gate.

And there's also been an FF6 reference when Elan and Thog were looking for an airship.

And I wasn’t thinking of another party split so much as them having to then hoof it the rest of the way through the Arctic... And whatever else lurks within it.

I kept reading that last post as Regalingualius posted:For whatever reason, I’m now wondering if the opening of the next book is going to feature an homage to the destruction of the Bojack in FF6 when the Order is within spitting distance of the final gate. And now I am imagining a OoTS/Bojack Horseman mashup.

Jesus Christ Gygaxquote:In order to provide a playtest environment in which to develop these rules, Gygax designed his own castle, "Castle Greyhawk", and prepared the first level of a dungeon that lay beneath it. Two of his children, Ernie and Elise, were the first players, and Ernie rolled up a wizard, Tenser.:99 During the evening, the children fought and destroyed the first monsters of the Greyhawk dungeon; Gygax variously recalled this as being some giant centipedes or a nest of scorpions. During the same session, Ernie and Elise also found the first treasure, a chest of 3,000 copper coins (which was too heavy to carry, much to the children's disappointment). Couldn't even let his kids get rich

3000 pennies is heavy, but not impossible for two people, so it was even more bullshit. Edit: Even assuming they weigh an absurd 10 grams per coin, that's still only 66 pounds. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Nov 18, 2019 |

Plus Gygax wasn’t going to let you just add that to your inventory, best hope you brought some burlap sacks or could find an empty urn laying around or whatever

Len posted:Jesus Christ Gygax Yeah so Gygax's kid was one of the very first character of all time. And he is a Wizard who also wants to be a fighter. Which led to him getting spells to make him fight good. So the dichotomy of a Wizard who also has martial powers has always been around in this game. Also I think his daughter played a druid or something. Even if she was playing a fighter of an Elf they still should have been able to take that treasure chest.
