DM:  “The orc captain fires his bow, and…that’s a hit.  And he rushes, and…hit.  And, bonus move, and…oh jeez that’s a *big* hit.  I’m sorry, man.”

Player, sadly pulling out a fresh character sheet:   “Eh, it’s alright.  I guess in the next act y'all are gonna meet Boromir’s brother Faramir.”

Cowards this is excellent

Level 1: Prophecy proclaims that no man can kill villain; killed by woman.

Level 2: Prophecy proclaims that no weapon can harm villain; pushed down stairs and dies.

Level 3: Prophecy proclaims that villain will be brought low by no mortal hand; kicked to death by angry mob.

Level 4: Prophecy proclaims that no power on Earth shall be villain’s undoing; fatally distracted by sun in eyes.

Level 5: Prophecy proclaims that only power of laughter can defeat villain; beat up by clown.

Level **: Prophecy claims that villain cannot be killed by man nor beast, at day or night, or inside or outside. He is killed in a doorway at sunset by a half-man, half-lion (this is actual Hindu myth)

Level ???: Prophecy claims that hero cannot be killed during the day or night, nor indoors or outdoors, neither riding nor walking, not clothed and not naked, nor by any weapon lawfully made. He is killed at dusk, wrapped in a net with one foot on a cauldron and one on a goat and with a spear forged for a year during the hours when everyone is at mass.

(actual Welsh myth!)

what i’m getting from this is that rules-lawyering is an ancient and honorable tradition

Free worldbuilding idea:

Wizards have the same trust in magic that software designers have in software, which is to say, almost none at all.

“Are you fucking kidding me I worked in a reagrent shop for a few years I don’t trust any of that stuff. Who the hell knows what other components are in the ashes.”

“Yeah I was in the circle that made Alston’s Divine Circle of Teleportation. There’s some pretty nasty corner cases you can get into but the headmaster published it without us. I just take ships. It’s way safer.”

“I call bullshit on that Necromancer channeling spirits of loved ones. What did he say he was using? ‘Medium Conduit Ruinic Circles’? That’s just a bunch of buzzwords slapped together, and they don’t even interact with each other.”

“I’ve been looking at this scroll all morning and I’m 90% sure that the scribe didn’t even look at the standard for pyromancies.”

“Help Desk, this is Gloriline, what did you fuck up this time?” *indistinct vocals* “Dave, I’ve seen the news, and, frankly, I can see the ash cloud from here. You paid for extended support, not enabling support.”

“Look I’ll level with you sir, the only thing that works for the situation you’re describing is apologizing to the deity to whom you’ve given offense. And you have to be serious about it, we’ve had customers try some ‘sorry you were offended’ stuff and they still haven’t come up with a name for the color of the smear they left on the wall.”

(more wizard help desk scenarios popped into my brain almost immediately)

“Mr. Foster, I assure you that we do not discriminate against those with speech impediments. However, if you are going to cast a spell that explicitly requires clear enunciation of the name of an Old God, and your head gets turned into a coelacanth because your have a lateral lisp, neither we nor the spell writers can be held liable.”

As a programmer, I approve of this

@cosmicdwarf

“What do these runes on the casting circle mean?”

“Oh, that? That’s not part of the spell, that’s just comments from whoever designed it. Usually used to describe what’s going on, what a part is supposed to do, that kind of thing.”

“So what’s that one say?”

“Uh…let’s see…‘I’ve only had 6 hours of sleep over the past fortnight, only the gods are allowed to judge my coding.’”

“I’m uh…gonna take a couple steps back while you cast this one.”

“Good idea.”

“Hey, um, Ted, what’s up with the additions you made to this hexing spell?”

“Don’t look at me. The runic patterns I had to build upon were structured by an ancient being spoken of only when no one is listening. I did my best with what I had to work with. Their patterns had an addendum that said ‘TODO: make this work better,’ that was dated approximately 80 years ago.”

“Can we take this part out of this conjuration spell? I don’t think it’s doing anything.”

“NO! That line must never be touched.”

“Oh shit, gotcha. What does it do?”

“.......honestly we have no idea but if we take it out the spell conjures a venemous serpent instead of what you intended to conjure every third time you cast it.”

“Shouldn’t we figure out....?”

“No.”

reblogging for @sogeeked

sir that’s my emotional support hyperfixation

*Magic Brian voice* I’m so proud of zem!!!

Decided to put all the very good adventure boys together. :,,,,,,) I had to squeeze these out before the finale. I’m not ready for the Balance arc to end—it’s been a very rocky year and a half for me, but the show has been such a fun and safe mindspace to been in, and listening to it definitely made things easier to cope with. But the boys do deserve a happy ending, so I’ll just hang onto that for now.
