Does the existence of the Xenomorph Facehugger imply the existence of a Xenomorph Butthugger?

Tarithnesti - The Interrogation

Image
01 Deepkolt 349 AC BACK IN TARITHNESTI "This is the longest cookbook ever!" Grotto thinks to himself as he finishes reading over a few more pages. The recipes themselves are fairly short, but each comes with notes on the etiquette surrounding their uses, to include occasions suitable for serving them, sides that pair well with each, alternate ingredients, and their origin. The dwarf gathers his things then stand watch around the camp. He looks to the skies waiting on the return of Shadow and company. Kysek awaits the return of his kidnapping comrades-in-arms. The smell of Grotto’s concoction gives the elven thief a fierce headache. He distracts himself with his spellbook and realizes he needs to speak with the other spellcasters in the group to learn the spells necessary to make “See Invisibility” permanent on both Dusk and himself. He thinks to himself; even if it doesn’t allow us to attack invisibly; it’d still be a good thing to have. Kysek then stands a watch, joining G...

Tarithnesti - Grotto and the Elven God of... Vengeance?

01 Deepkolt 349 AC TARITHNESTI Grotto looks to the head spymasters, Raz and Shadow. "It seems our allies here have helped us. If it pleases the spymasters, I have prepared a nice warm bed and filling meal for our comrades. Surely they are tired and need some rest. Will you have them follow me?" Shadow says to the goblins “Go with Grotto and he will fill your bellies and put you to bed. You did good.” Shadow smiles at them and encourages them to go on.  Once they have left he turns back to the others and says," Three of us could polymorph into those little murder hobos and walk into their camp and fireball them back into the Stone Age, and then fly back, fighting this way into our ambush. More direct approach but if there are 400 of them we need to thin those numbers.  What do you think?” Ra'ziir replies, ”I am happy to practice some of my more… ‘entertaining’ spells on live targets. Blocking their retreat should be the first priority, and then thinning their rank...

US Archer

Man, looking back, the 80s were frickin’ weird.   Ignore for a moment Glam Rock, Parachute Pants, New Coke, and Flock of Seagulls haircuts and think about the how the Decade of Excess gave birth to some of the most iconic and enduring pop culture icons of all time: Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, He-Man, Thundercats, and the list goes on and on. The character I’m going to talk about today is not on that list. Anywhere. And for good reason. Ulysses Solomon Archer was the product of a merchandising tie-in between Tyco Toys and Marvel Comics.   The series lasted for 12 issues before being cancelled and while the character himself has cropped up a handful of times, most notably with She-Hulk, a team-up Deadpool, and when he applied for a job as the nanny to Luke Cage and Jessica Jones’s daughter, he is one of those characters that … well, could have only existed in the 80s. But, like Turbo Teen , Condiment King , Perry the Platypus ,...

d20 Earth Notes

Image
This is my 50th post on the blog and I wanted it to be something different (and since you seem to like the stranger posts more anyway) I thought I would share this with all of you today. Many years ago, I started toying with the idea of an Earth-setting  that incorporated nearly every bit of pop culture or urban myth I could think of.  I sat down with two of my players and we started spit-balling and came up with what I think is a fairly impressive list of ideas.  Some of these concepts will make their way into  my Play-by-Post campaign and others will linger in the back of my mind (and in my notebooks or on my flash drive) for use one day but for now, I present the following notes for... d20 Earth A.   Races of folklore (non-humans) are fully integrated into society.   Magic exists (in a level equivalent with the Urban Arcana setting) although actual spellcasters are very rare (no more than 50 residing in New York City for example). ...

Smurf Wars

Image
I ran a "side quest" for some of the player in my play-by-post campaign so they could earn some bonus Xp and help me flesh out the world we were adventuring in.  To make things more interesting (or just stranger depending on your point of view), they assumed the roles of Smurfs.  This adventure would take place just after the beginning of the first Smurf movie and is based on the King Smurf issue of the original comic book series. Below, there are sections divided by dashed lines.  These represent the post for the players and sections in parenthesis are my "Director's Commentary" about what I had going on, the writing process, etc. I hope everyone enjoys this - or at least doesn't hate it.  It was definitely one of the stranger stories I have attempted. King Smurf (1828 Grimmlands calendar) The Blue Moon Festival was approaching. Clumsy Smurf was out running errands at the behest of Papa Smurf when he accidentally drew the attention of the ...
