Monday’s D&D game went really well. Keith was absent, but only because he was off getting married (congrats!). I think our characters came closer to dying on this adventure than any other. We successfully navigated the Grinning Jester dungeon and ended the session just short of opening what we think is the archon’s sarcophagus. I’ll do the summary later, but here are the highlights: Played blackjack with a ghost, fought a huge warforged and a carcass crab, nearly woke up a vampire, and spun what must be the largest roulette wheel ever built. We got a ton of XP — I made level six and I’m less than a thousand points from level seven. My Order of the Bow Initiate prestige class is so close I can taste it!

Some neat links:

Fairbairn Sykes dagger — Series of photos showing how a Ramanon user made a very ornate knife.

Meat cake! — A really cool way to dress up meatloaf. Lots of pictures.

You are a pirate — An oddly entertaining (IMHO) video clip from Nickelodeon’s LazyTown. That pirate captain should have his own show.

And here are a bunch of pictures that caught my fancy for one reason or another.

    For combat to be challenging, death has to be a possibility. A GM who removes all risk from the game cheapens the experience. So, while the players might usually be responsible for their own demise, I think it’s important to let them exist in a world where accidents and plain old bad luck can be lethal too.
