I never think to comment on these (and there's nothing particular about this post that made me want to do so) but I would like to note that your blog is a useful and fun resource for adding fluff to a game -- one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a little hilarious. Dungeon Dozen has the highest ratio of Usefulness to Ease of Comments. So, I'll leave the same comment I always do.
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent stuff. There's a lot of humor in there, too. I especially love #3 and #12. And the psychic, rolling, hairless rat ball will haunt me for days to come.
