D&D/Pathfinder
Jul. 21st, 2012 12:06 amI was in a really crummy mood for some of this week, so I really appreciate that one of the groups I game with was okay with me asking to hold off running running, and I really appreciate Songcoyote running at such short notice. I wound up really happy with a couple of things I contributed this evening (the idea of disguising the ambush site such that the hobgoblin troops who found their dead kinsmen would be looking through the woods for 20+ heavily armed elves rather than a mixed group of five adventurers, and the discovery that the gnoll word for "victory" translates roughly as "dinner").
But the thing that makes me disproportionately, ludicrously happy is that we talked to a weird little frog-person in the middle of a swamp.
There are some things which kind of make my D&D bucket list - defeat an archdevil/demon lord/god, cross a narrow bridge or rock outcropping above a long long drop, deliver a St. Crispin's Day inspirational speech to outnumbered troops, visit a tavern frequented mostly by weird monsters, fight inside a cathedral, throw a sword to impale an enemy, visit someplace where the ordinary rules of gravity don't apply, stand alone against impossible odds for at least a short while, talk to a unicorn/kirin/powerful good aligned dragon, travel on some sort of skyship/astral ship, encounter a beholder, go through a maze. "Talking to a weird little frog person in the middle of a swamp" definitely makes the bucket list.
