Man its been quiet around here lately…
Of course, I also stopped writing a new post every day for some time now and, well, we’re still smack dab into the holidays. So I kinda know why!
All right, for those who remember, we had a contest last week about Dice!
I’m happy to announce the two winners:
Best Story comes from
When we were much younger, teenagers, one player had a d20 he always said was his lucky d20, talked about it a lot.
One session he was faced with a save or die and he holds up his lucky d20, gives a speech about it, and rolls a 1, his character dies. He excuses himself (game was at his house), comes back a few minutes later with cling wrap and a hammer, wraps the d20 and smashes it apart. Then he grinds the bits up into a powder for about an hour in a mortal and pestle.
He took his other d20s and lined them up on top of some gaming books and told them he was about to teach them all a lesson and poured the powder into his Mountain Dew and drank his “lucky” d20.
He said he was sick for two days but it was worth it.
Yuk! Talk about complex hydrocarbons! 🙂
Also, since we had 12 other stories, I’m going to whip out my neigh unsued 12 sider and roll:
clatter, clatter… 12
Our last entrant, Brian, wins!
I’ll contact both by emails and we’ll arrange shipment of the Dice bags to you shortly.
Once again, thanks to Game Master Dice for the prize and for being a sponsor of the site.
Goodman Games adventure update:
I’m now 3500 words into the adventure and am working at the last encounter. I’m a couple of stat blocs and a few paragraphs away from being done! I have a good feeling. It’s linear (it has to be for a 5k adventure) but I think I wove enough Rule of Cool and creepiness to make GMs want to play it.
I can’t say anything about it… but just try to picture what would have happened if Lovecraft had tried to write a James Bond Deathtrap scene 🙂
Tomorrow, part 2 of my Campaign log and then, if I’m near a ‘puter on new year’s eve and new year, I’ll try to tackle a year’s review and new resolutions post.
Peace!
Glad to see you posting again.
I hope to see much more content, soon 😀
Congrats to the winners! (I’m still trying to remember a cool dice-related story :P)

Best dice story ever!
That is one I will be telling to my group. My group has been known for abusing some dice: smashing a few with hammers, dipping some in paint, but never has anyone consumed one.
Bravo to that story…I have not laughed that hard in some time.

I feel adding a “Don’t Try This at Home” note might be a good thing on this. Unless your dice are made of ham, consuming them is probably at least somewhat hazardous to your health. 🙂
