Encounter: party guarding a gate to some horrible nether realm. They are very bad at their jobs, frequently letting horrible things come through, but always do their best to catch them and cram them back in the hole.

  • Berk: friendly, reasonably intelligent, and hard-working (for an Ooze, which isn’t saying much); has one of those spell-books that allow him to cast a few spells way above his level, but has no idea what he’s doing
  • Drutt: his obese spider familiar
  • Boni: a relatively amiable demilich that tends to provide sarcastic commentary more than actually doing anything
  • the worm isn’t a character, it just wandered into the shot and was eaten by any one of the other three moments later

Sup my randos:

Just noticing that if current patterns continue, I’ll be hitting 10,000 followers in the next week or two–which is crazy to me, since the blog’s less than a year old. Thanks everybody! I’ve been trying to think of something cool to do to celebrate, but in the meantime:

  • please send in stories about the items getting used! I know they’re sometimes unbalanced, incongruous, dangerous, incompetently forged, and/or don’t make any damn sense; just tell your DM I’m some kind of gnome tinker-god or something.
  • I’d like to invite everybody to check out the first month’s worth of posts, back when I was impressed that I had over a dozen followers and was getting multiple notes on almost half the posts! There were a lot more items with no obvious uses (or tags) back then, so I’m working on adding some descriptions to make them more interesting.
  • I keep thinking about adding a Patreon or something–I mean, if all of you gave me a dime it would cover half my monthly bills–but there are just so many other people out there that need it worse than me I’d feel bad taking it while I’ve got a full time job with benefits and all. If you feel like you want to donate, just give it to your local homeless trans teen or asylum-seeker legal defense fund or something.

and finally, since mobile users can’t get to the main site, here’s another Random button, since y’all seem to like it when I post those.
