They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!

[drakyndra]

So, I was going to post this last night. And then I fell asleep.

Whoops.

In any case, Wednesday was D and D again. And it was as entertainingly weird as ever.

One piece of advice - don't doze off in the middle of a game. I somehow ended up (well, my character...) in a nurses outfit, trying to access a room which contained 5 men chained to their beds.

We had an interesting discussion on the logistics of running through a dungeon with an 11 foot pole.

We had some drunken sailors arm-wrestling a cleric. And the cleric won.

Oh, and we had a crying paladin.

A coupld of D&D quotes:

fa11ing_away: "So, to the nearest ale and whore houses!"

mercdaemon: "They're taking the silk to Isengard!"

If you don't get that one, check out They're taking the hobbits to Isengard! Trust me on this one, it's marvellous crack.

The iPartment has discovered that our internet usage doesn't get listed immediately, and thus during peak times (aka from 8am to midnight), it's slowed back to dial-up speed. Woe.

And even more woe: The next months switch doesn't kick in until Monday. Which means that instead of getting my Doctor Who and about noon, I shall have to wait until after midnight. All that time, and I won't even be able to look at my flist! *emos*

Guess I shall be getting the books out then.

Also, it is bloody cold.

Oh, and xwingace? Sorry I'm taking so long, I've been caught up in stuff. Or sleeping. I'll try and get something to you tomorrow.

Oh, I dunno. I've had some marvellous fun playing this game. Especially the first time I ever played it, at a gamesmeet of Pratchett fans, when I (at level 4) got an eighth level monster and managed to beat it, by myself, by stealing equipment from the player next to me.

And when the guy tried to get me back for it, everyone else in the game jumped on *him*, apparently becaise guts like that had to be respected. Was a laugh. (Okay, I lost the game anyway, but that's not the *point*)

I agree that Munchkin can become tedious if everyone becomes *determined* not to let a particular person win, because that can result in long strategy negotiations which are just boring.

Ah, that was me. Sorry.

No, no. Munchkin is tedious when you have read all of the cards and laughed at them.
