Just wanted to bring this back from the first page and marvel at the fact that not only did the OP killed a thread by posting an image that can't be beaten, but he's so far continued to do it over and over again for a month while still showing no signs of slowing down.

ShadowCatboy posted:Oh this I gotta hear. Long story short, our cleric gets ganked by a beholder, after ransacking the place we decide to get back to town. Cleric's player whines and cajoles us to haul his carcass back, and the treasure too, since our DM was enough of a cockbag that anything left behind had a percentage chance of getting stolen by the local scavengers (Goblins, Kobolds, whatever), which seems rather reasonable in hindsight. Anyways, being that we're all veteran grognards of first edition, same thing happens: No one trusts anyone else to carry their share of the loot, no one is strong enough to carry the cleric AND the cleric's stuff (honestly, we wouldn't have heard the end of it if we left any of his poo poo behind) AND their share of the loot. So we chopped him up, Sin City style, complete with someone saying "Yeesh..." Halfway back to town we're down to one third HPs (remember, we lost our walking med kit) from fending off scavengers and various predators because we smell like an abattoir. We're getting pretty pissed off about the whole thing, really; mainly because the Cleric's player keeps whining about the cost of a Resurrection spell and how it had better not come out of his share, but be distributed fairly as per our group's charter (seriously, we had a group charter and everything. Made it a lot easier all around). I had the head (I was an Invoker, so lowest strength), so whenever he was being a douchenozzle I'd give it a healthy kick into the bushes. That usually shut him up. It got so bad with him complaining we jumped at the chance to leave him behind. We came across the same farmhouse and barn we passed on the way to the dungeon, I remembered the flavour text about the fine crop of vegetables so I asked the DM what veggies were there. He made an offhand remark about carrots and cucumbers, so we went up to the house and made a deal with the farmer: since he grows carrots and cucumbers, there's a good chance he pickles them. Sell us a barrel of pickling brine and a wheelbarrow. We got back to town, Rezzed the Cleric and all was well. After that we called him "Father Vlasic" from then on.

Because of this thread I can no longer listen to political news without imagining the candidates as anything more than a bunch of nerds, scarfing Cheetos, chugging mountain dew and bitching about which version of D&D is best. Thank you so much for that.

Now I know nothing of the politics in USA, but even though politicians being jerks seems to be a universal constant, this thread has actually made the candidates seem somewhat likable. Also they've worked as a quick lesson in the views of every candidate, in case I happened to care one day. Thanks, ShadowCatboy!

I bought onthecampaigntrail.org. Does anyone have a place to host this gold? I can whip up a quick page using jQuery that'll let you play the GIFs in order using a couple of buttons and maybe a list or something.

Lars Blitzer posted:We got back to town, Rezzed the Cleric and all was well. I assume that you know of the famous death of Frederick Barbarossa during the Third Crusade? The emperor was leading the forces of the Holy Roman Empire to the Holy Land, but he drowned when crossing a river. The emperor's son put the body in a cask of vinegar and told the soldiers and knights that the emperor would continue to lead them on to victory. The German contingent didn't like the idea of being led into battle by a pickle, and they deserted. The son, Frederick VI, wanted to take the emperor on to Jerusalem, but the body didn't keep. The skin and muscles were buried in Antioch, the bones in Tyre, and the internal organs made it as far as Tarsus.

Brother Jonathan posted:I assume that you know of the famous death of Frederick Barbarossa during the Third Crusade? No, but I was aware of Admiral Nelson's death. He died at sea, and they preserved his hi9s body in a barrel of rum. DFurinhg the voyage home sailors had drilled up from below the barrel, thinking that no one would worry about the level of rum left. When the ship got back to port the barrel was empty. Everyone had drunk the rum Nelson was pickled in. That's why rum is sometimes referred to as "Nelson's blood." Edit: Please forgive me. I'm drunk and had a lovely young lady sitting in my lap for most of the night.

Brother Jonathan posted:I assume that you know of the famous death of Frederick Barbarossa during the Third Crusade? That's pretty awesome. I'll have to look him up sometime. What I was thinking about when I first made this was actually Qin Shi Huang Di, the First Emperor of China. He died while he was touring China, so to hide the stench of his body they carted around rotting fish in front of and behind his carriage since it was summer. Not to mention those old urban legends of the dead guy being preserved in wine, though apparently it's not all that much of a legend! Elijya posted:Will we ever see other personalities? Perhaps Bachman at some point? I've been thinking about it. Five players is the uppermost limit of how many I can handle and it's almost too busy already. But I have definitely been thinking of including either Palin or Bachmann as a guest player when one of them goes on vacation or something, mainly because someone else mentioned that this is getting to be a bit of a sausagefest.

Mindbleach posted:Do you need the whole body for a resurrection? I was under the impression the head was enough. It says "Some small portion." Most DMs I played with can be sticklers, so to be better safe than sorry I usually haul the whole body back. It also says "regardless of condition" so really, if someone in the party has butchering or taxidermy skills dragging along a bag of bones would do. But like I said the DM was a cockbag, so we didn't want to give him any wiggle room.
