It's like her body is saying 'dance with me', and her face is saying 'SEE BALLS. GET BALLS.'
FTFY. Substitute any other bodypart at your own convenience.
This only makes me more uncomfortable.
It is something people should be able to feel comfortable about.
Of course. I am just uncomfortable.
WHY should people feel comfortable about the idea of a Corgi fetching your 'block and tackle'?

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

No... No. The fear of ball-seeking Pomeranian People is a very real and rational thing to be uncomfortable about. Does that face look like the face of mercy?

As mentioned in the original joke, it looks like the face of 'half-concussed'.

...I-I like FR. :-/
It's what my DnD group played. Then again, I never exactly studied and critiqued the setting's backstory.
I imagine that DM could have made most any setting fun, regardless.

@Mephisto: Haha, that "cache of MacGuffins" idea sounds like one of the plotlines in my favourite fantasy series!

I like it too, as you could probably tell from my defensive rant above. I'd still admit that it's pretty generic, though :P

Enlighten me? It sounds like something I can shamelessly rip offmine for ideas.

Chronicles of An Age of Darkness, by Hugh Cook.
It's kind of a lengthy series, but the first book probably has the most encounters with said MacGuffins. Now I feel like re-reading it.

I'm still trying to remember the fantasy book where the macguffin the hero looks for turns out to be a goddamn nuclear powered tank.

Since my group's been playing Horde of the Dragon Queen, I see it's not too bad, but I'm not sure what advantages it has over any random homebrew setting. If I was playing a D&D setting for the setting itself, I'd pick among Eberron, Spelljammer, or Dark Sun.

Some of them are freely available on his old web site. Granted you've got to do a bit of time travel to find working archives, but I've got something to read now. Thanks!

What about Planescape?

What about Planescape?
Well, those are my top 3 settings. Also, coincidentally enough, I don't think any of them could interact with the Planescape cosmology (by either having a different planar model or being entirely cut off from the planes, in Athas's case).

Spelljammer does by default (except in the Pholgiston, which is cut off from the planes like Athas)

But can you be ever REALLY sure that it wasn't a kittens and puppies spell?
