- Sat, 00:09: Finally finished all the conversions for my Keep On the Borderlands game. Some of the encounters in there are just plain mean. XD
- Sat, 00:11: Most are survivable if you follow the maxim of “When in doubt, run away!” But it’s definitely not an adventure that will go easy on you.
- Sat, 00:12: Fortunately, with six players (some of whom are longtime D&D veterans), I think the group can handle it.
- Sat, 00:13: Hey, you took on a 5th level assassin and three gnolls at 1st level last time, and survived! https://t.co/bgwB7zk2Nt
- Sat, 00:15: Old Bob was a 5th level rogue (assassin), yes. https://t.co/BUbcTs9sSy https://t.co/Nz2hcckojW
- Sat, 00:17: Don’t panic! Because of the math of 5E, a 5th level rogue is still only CR 1 by himself. (CR 2 total with pets.) https://t.co/5N2giyK0hH
- Sat, 00:17: And also, don’t blame me! Gary Gygax wrote the module. I just updated the stats. XD https://t.co/5N2giyK0hH
- Sat, 00:22: Hmm. Just realized that writeup had an error in it. Bob only did 1+3d6 damage with his unarmed sneak attack, not 1+5d6. Still plenty. �.�
- Sat, 00:25: Taking 11 points of damage or 18 hardly makes a difference if you’ve only got 8 hp. ;P https://t.co/zWvYAyGtRE
- Sat, 00:29: 5E doesn’t do overkill. Being strangled by a maniac isn’t going to reduce anyone to a fine red paste in any case. ;P https://t.co/LzQcZxs0pM
- Sat, 00:31: So anyway, it’s official: the highest single CR in the adventure is 13. But there’s little chance of “stumbling” into it.
- Sat, 00:31: I didn’t say “no” chance. ;) But it’s not unlike waltzing into the main thoroughfare of Goblin Town. https://t.co/MUjG0LNfs4
- Sat, 00:32: Well yes, I didn’t actually calculate the CR of attacking the Keep itself. Don’t make me do that. ;P https://t.co/vLxOIv4jJ4
- Sat, 00:33: Survival Protip: Don’t try to eat gnoll spears being thrown at you. https://t.co/1Fe6q4VQDc
- Sat, 00:35: Note: Attacking the Keep is totally doable if you really want to. More than one campaign has done it. BUT the LG paladin may have issues.
- Sat, 00:44: Anyway! Having sent my players into fits about the horrors that await them, I think it’s time for me to hit the hay.
- Sat, 00:44: G’nite world, and have an awesome tomorrow. :)
- Sat, 09:56: Wait, did someone say it’s @goatmagician’s birthday? Have a happie, Goaty!

- Sat, 10:28: RT @bengoodridge: As a published novelist and student of deconstructionist theory, the spelling of "Froot Loops" offends me. ...Oo! Free p…
- Sat, 10:34: RT @banditloaf: Get your official flight caps on, the Wing Commander II anniversary livestream starts at noon PST! https://t.co/4HnpFl7ljC
- Sat, 11:08: Why is Disc Fam acting like “The Fault In Our Cutie Marks” doesn’t exist?
- Sat, 11:20: RT @BillCorbett: A: How can we get millennials on our side? B: Tell them that they suck, again? A: Brilliant!
- Sat, 11:30: Ooh, map ep! Las Pegasus! #MLPSeason6
- Sat, 11:38: Aaaaand the FlimFlam bros. Here we go. #MLPSeason6
- Sat, 11:39: https://t.co/1SgiS0QQez #MLPSeason6
- Sat, 11:46: Hmm… Gladmane the psychic vampire? #MLPSeason6
- Sat, 11:47: Whoooaaaa… toxic social manipulator episode! That’s heady stuff for a kids’ show. #MLPSeason6
- Sat, 11:51: Those two used compulsion magic. Gladmane is a very realistic villain kids might meet. https://t.co/l964pgI20r
- Sat, 11:52: Yeah, AJ, putting the FF Bros in charge of Las Pegasus will be a great thing. Really. #MLPSeason6
