OPEN BAR: It's actually about ethics in fictional bars

Fuck you, WotC, for publishing and supporting in organized play an untenable adventure path.

Fuck.   You.

My plays are untenable; it's just a matter of tangibility.

I'm going through Rage of Demons right now, in their Adventure League official play thing.  At 3rd level (the level we are supposed to be at this point in the adventure), we run into Demogorgon.  The actual Demogorgon.  (Demon Prince, CR 26 in case you aren't familiar with the Faerun setting).  I got hit by his thing that casts Feeble Mind on you if you fall unconcious to it.  Needless to say, I failed the save.  So now, according to the league rules for playing through Rage of Demons, I have to spend the next 26 (at least) in game days crossing some underground lake in a boat, and the DM has to make 2 random encounter roles per day because the book says so, and the league rules say you can't skip it, as a vegetable.  And then we have to find someone willing to cast Greater Rest., Heal or Wish on the cheap because we're broke (started campaign with NO GEAR, all the stuff we acquired got stolen in final encounter today) and I sure as hell can't make an Intelligence save to, ahah, save my life.  Not with Int being my dump stat.

Thanks, WotC, for hiring a shitty writer and making it harder to play through.  And this is not the only shitty thing we've run across, either.  26 miles of spider web path, a random encounter every 500 feet.  You read that correctly, MILES and FEET, respectively, with encounters like 12 giant spiders, purple worms plural, magic Chernobyl zones that force wisdom saves or gain insanity.  This adventure is complete shit, I wish it didn't have such a good story so that I don't care if there's a party wipe and no one gets to finish. 

Also, league rules for this adventure say that there's no resurrecting, even if you aren't 5th level+ and have a faction.  Fuck them in the ear.

In the last 7 sessions, ther's been 15 (no hyperbole) casualties including mine, and those are including the NPCs we have to pick up if we get killed.  My GM is fair and not one who goes around intentionally killing people because it's funny.

I don't play league, so pardon my ignorance, but can't you roll up a new guy? It has to be less trouble than this bullshit.

That... um, wow. I'm not sure if that counts as "Gygax-tier" or worse.

[Cain]

I think that is Nintendo SNES tier difficulty.  It may even be Dork Souls tier.

Also, going to a conference in December in Holland.  Dubious private intelligence firm is putting on some training and, well, fuck it.  I've not been on proper holiday all year and I have the money.  I can put it on my CV, at least.

LDW part 2 in editing.  Gonna need some re-write, as the individual chapters - as LMNO pointed out at the time - are too short.  Call it done and ready to convert tomorrow evening.

I'm almost frightened by how great my life is.

I mean, it's been going really well pretty much since I started school (even with stressors like a surprise foster kid and my dog getting sick) but right now... Shit is kind of just amazing. If I get this job, they're going to try to use some funding to send me to a national neuroscience conference, and basically it seems like my ticket to grad school is written. Alty is the best person to come into my life since my kids, and everything in my life feels like it's clicking into place.

All I have to do is keep doing what I'm doing. I feel like I can handle this.
