“Welcome, welcome, what can I help you with today?” the old man behind the counter smiles as he looks up. “The sign outside says ‘powdered potions’ … how does that even work?” asks the traveller curiously. “Well, let me...
“That diamond dragon, that you said didn’t exist, can only be destroyed with blades made of a harder diamond.” observed the android. “And where in the ‘verse do we get that!?” shouted the human. “Make,” the goblin replied excitedly,...
No matter the style of game you play, you inevitably are going to use a map. Sometimes the GM is showing you a map of the world to give you perspective on your region. Other times you are drawing...
“What’s the difference between gnomes and goblins?” he asks the room. “The smell?” somebody replies. “Their gullets!” somebody chuckles. “Ok, what do they have in common?” he rephrases. “They are small!” somebody shouts. “They are both industrious”, he says...
In my sensors, indisposed In sectors, no one knows Hides the space, lies the snake The dark in my disgrace Boiling heat, crushing depths ‘Neath the black the sky looks dead Call my name through the void But I’ll...
