Coober Pedy's a pretty cool place. It blows shit up looking for shiny rocks and doesn't afraid of anything.

I distinctly remember it being the only place in the world where you could buy dynamite at the grocer's. On the same shelf as beer. Also, very dorfy in that almost everything's underground. Although that didn't seem necessarily such a great idea when you're sleeping in an underground hostel and the walls are shaking slightly with a muffled thump every time somebody was blasting. And a number of signs were pentalingual (IIRC, it was English, Greek, Serbo-Croatian, whatever the local Aboriginal dialect is, and something else....German, maybe?)

Teamwork is actually kinda cool if it's the kinda work where the work is actually split. Less work for me, wheeee!

Probably because, if you're going to be giving everyone dynamite in a city full of underground houses, you want to make damn sure they can read the signs saying "There is a house here, try not to blow it up".

Or alternatively, "The guy who lives here is an asshole with lots of shiny things in his house, please blow it up."

One of my friends has been running a D&D campaign this semester, and he had one player drop out after the first session. I've been observing this campaign for a while, and thought it looked fun. I expressed interest to him, and he agreed to let me join now. We worked on my character for several hours late Saturday night/early Sunday morning, getting him up to level 11 to match the rest of the party, and getting me acquainted with the game mechanics. Tonight is the first session that I will be playing in, and my character is awesome. Star Pact Warlock, with the Master of the Starry Night Paragon Path. The way my character gets introduced?

Mook rush. Me versus a bunch of weak enemies, so I can show off to the rest of the party. Yes. Hell yes. Hell fucking yes.

EDIT: In fact, that gives me an idea for a minimalist RtD that I want to run at some point. Maybe over Christmas break.

Random piece of Knowledge, Keep in mind if you say Serbo-croatian out loud someone will come and beat the ever-loving shit out of you. Just keep in mind. It's Serbian, AND croatian. Different.

I'll be getting into a D&D campaign full of my friends next weekend. My character concept is a lawful neutral Dread Necromancer who is a priest to one of the gods who judges the dead. Each clerical domain has its own language, too, apparently, so my Dread Necromancer priest knows "Inquisition" as a language (that is, the verbal embodiment of "Do what I say, and answer my questions, NOW") with 5 ranks in intimidate. He also has Tomb-Tainted Soul, so he can use his own touch attack to heal himself. That is, he holds his hands like he's praying, and he recovers HP. Oh, also Disguise for my eventual undead minions, who will appear to be my followers. I'm just a priest, guys, for real, NOW STOP ASKING QUESTIONS.

Should be tons of fun.

"Are you sure you're a priest?"
"Almost positive!"

Yeah, yeah. That's shorthand for "Cyrillic alphabet, wasn't Russian."

It will be kind of complicated, because he took an oath of honesty (for flavor), so he won't be able to lie (which extends to cannot misdirect information). He can still refuse to divulge information though.

Shameless self-quote,  but holy fuck, LilLilDeuce, the guy who made the asdfmovie songs, asked that guy to 8-bitify some of his songs.
Just to give you an impression of how good this is.

Meanwhile, my character is Chaotic Good. "I'm helping you, I promise!" "PLEASE STOP HELPING ME I'M FINE!" "But, this one spell will fix everything!" "MY EYES ARE ON FIRE AUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "There, now you can't feel the pain of your severed arm!"

Except that chaotic evil tends to be a stand-in term for "LOL I NO WAT WOOD BE FUNNY I CAN BE RANDOM AND VIOLENT LIKE DAT ONE GUY FRUM DA WEBCOMX". Actually playing chaotic evil as chaotic evil rather than chaotic stupid takes a delicate touch and more than a little insanity.

Lawful evil is the corrupt king, overlord of all, the judge, jury, and executioner.
Neutral evil is the walking dark, a force of nature, a force of horror.
Chaotic evil doesn't know it's evil, it just wants to see what color the inside of your bones are.
