Hi, recently I pledged my service to the eldar gods, specifically cthylla daughter of cthulhu (its 2016, ok) but the problem is the pulsing vein-like slug growing under my eyesocket is not only making it hard for me to pick up chicks but also I'm starting to hear screams and see stuff that I'm pretty sure my mind wasn't supposed to comprehend, its starting to cut into my social life and plus I've started hucking up fistfulls of maggots with human faces who demand I find them hosts in a demented chorus of voices. How do I keep it 'real' I guess is what I'm asking? haha

Just keep The Rules and you will be fine, fool.

Everyone, just Keep The Rules and we can all go about our respective evil wizard businesses.

I've taken the liberty of inscribing The Rules on everyone's eyelids, there's only a handful of them and they're mostly about courteous driving techniques and social justice. Basic stuff, really, but they must be maintained at all costs or we're all gonna have to get used to non-Euclidean geometry when the Seals are broken and frankly I can't deal with that poo poo like I used to, I have a very sensitive stomach.

Nah, just reinforce it with stone or metal up the middle. Raise a spirit of an OH&S inspector, its done wonders for my lair and thanks to their knowledge I used my dark powers to posses a bunch of his contemporaries, their workplace practices ensure I'll have fresh, working age corpses to raise forever even in supposedly first world conditions, Mwhahahaha!

i feel very safe in my black tower where i sit around and cast spells all day.

i have enough food to last forever and i locked the front door so no one can catch me unawares.

i put the key to the door inside one of my skeletons who is a slightly different color and slightly stronger than the rest.

i put him on the trail leading up to my black tower in case i ever accidentally lock myself out.

For my own reasons I like to stay as close to True Neutral in my alignment as possible, but I tend to automatically *do the right thing* by others whenever I'm asked for help, and so sometimes as aa result that makes me come off as more Good-aligned than I really want.

I've finally worked out a system so I can reach my evil quota for each day:

Avoid people at all costs so they can't ask me for help.
Beat myself up in the nether regions until reagents come out.
Wear offensive, dirty, or abrasive clothing. Accessorize to look mostly like an rear end in a top hat to anyone who doesn't know you (which should be everyone).
Don't call your mother back and make her worry for over an hour.
Smoke weed every day and get loud whenever drunk.
Think about doing a crime really hard.
Become a mooch upon society and post on dead comedy forums.

Any more pro-tips for minor evil acts?

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
I accidentally left the secret exit that leads back to the entrance of my dungeon so that I don't have to backtrack open, and adventurers entered my loot room and took everything. I didn't have all of my art pieces and magical equipment listed out or appraised for value, how should I go about contacting my dungeon owner's insurance to try to get at least some of the value back from what was stolen? :smith:

e: Most of the equipment was cursed, iirc. Does the insurance fully cover the loss of cursed items, or do they devalue them due to the curses?

Oh they covered this in one of the optional workshops last year but you might have missed it because they had the soul swapping seminar at the same time. It's important to turn towards an (imaginary?) audience and say "...just as planned" in a low, sinister voice with your fingers steepled and an evil grin on your face. It won't get any of your poo poo back but it makes you feel a lot better. Doesn't matter if anybody sees you do it, doesn't matter if it's actually true.

I wouldn't even gently caress with the insurance if you don't have your ducks in a row, I mean consorting with nether beasts and eldritch horrors is one thing but those insurance guys are bad news.

Do you have the Wizard Plus plan or the standard Evil Overlord package? Because I believe Plus covers cursed objects. (Although I hope you extended the coverage to liabilities because, get this, if the adventurers suffer physical or mental harm from use of the objects (which they stole), the adventurers can come back and sue you for damages.) Fortunately you can remove the deductible from your taxable income if you're on the Plus plan, up to 2000 gold coins if you're in good standing with the Evil Magic-Users Society. The Evil Overlord plan might cover cursed weapons (not armor, accessories, art, etc.) but even then the deductible can't be written off. There might be a loophole there regarding the lethality of the objects in question which could merit their reclassification as weapons, but you'd have to consult EMUS or a lawyer.

Edit: wait, are we talking curses or hexes here? Ugh hold on *conjures tomes labeled "Legal Glossary of Enchantments Vol 4" and "Arcane Insurance"* you might want to summon a chair

Depends - are the curses yours? In most cases an accursed items' value is lowered by a percentage based upon the power of the curse (usually 95-99%), since the corruption of evil souls trapped within the material fabric of a luxury item like a gold ring or a fine silk robe or a pair of fine leather boots will obviously try to invalidate any insurance claims made against them if there hasn't been any prior identification, and besides curses tend to void the authenticity of the authenticity certificates, SO - unless you can prove that you could've removed the curses yourself (which obviously you can't since the item's gone- those fools!) then I'm afraid you're up the Styx without a Charon to paddle. I know it really makes no sense since the curses themselves seemed like a pretty decent theft prevention measure when you cast them in the first place, but unless you put a tracking charm into your curses's serial hex then you're probably hosed getting any of this back. Sorry man :(

I enchanted a pair of boots with "flesh to stone" and left for some meddling adventurers to find (isn't it weird that adventurers are always rummaging around putting on old clothing they find?) hoping to add to my sculpture garden

anyways I accidentally cast "stone to flesh" and now anywhere that guy walks he leaves a perfect footprint sized sirloin steak. Last I heard he gave up adventuring and opened a steak house

I resent the term "evil".

Yes, I was stealing bones from the graveyard. Yes, I overreacted when the local constable confronted me. Yes, I may have ordered skeletons to rip him and his people to bits, and yes, I still have his skull. It whispers secrets to me when it isn't busy sobbing about its endless torment.

But I am a multifaceted person. Nobody ever talks about my volunteer community service, or my donations to the local library.

Question for all you wizards out there, when it comes to the decor for my mountaintop wizard tower, what should I pick for my lamps? I'm trying to decide between skulls with nightmarish green flames of fire that burns but does not consume in the open mouths and eye sockets, or mysterious crystals with an eldritch blue glow.

Thoughts?

I'd go with the blue crystals. OSHA inspectors get their tits in a twist about open flame, even if it's the arcane kind.

^^^ This, plus weatherproofing a skull for outdoor installation is a NIGHTMARE, not to mention all the cleaning you have to do with skulls! The only bonus to putting skull lamps outside is that do they attract large swarms of rats, bats, snakes and spiders to live outside your home.
