Diabolical. I’m thrilled by the idea of it happening to someone else.

I built a one-shot around this idea on a heavily-modded Tiny D6 system, letting people choose which of the 4 they wanted to be with variants like wealthy or scientific Victorian, captain or gunner pirate, disgraced or retired Samurai, cattle driver or 49’er, and so forth. I set it in San Francisco to get some good conflux of cultures.

Of my 4 players, 3 of them chose to be rich Victorians. facepalm

Our player who likes doing this to the DM: “So they’re giving us horses? What are the horses’ names?” Our DM: “…no. You choose.”

Speaking as a player (most of the time) I love making things worse for my poor character. And I send my evilest ideas to my DM. Who then makes them heartachingly worse. It’s great.

I made an adventure for this based on the Tiny D6 Pirates system. They were in 1820s or so San Francisco so we’ve got robber barons, Emperor Norton, and all sorts of weird stuff thrown in. You can also have fun with cholera epidemics and floods and gold rushes.

Lower level and a high-level NPC bard gave the inspiration. Unsure whether he gave it to the NPC I was up against; if so, the guy flubbed that roll too.

We did manage to steal it and that is eventually the plan. Provided we can throw it without touching it.

Like someone with a deep US Southern accent saying geese. Gee-uhs.

At least one of these does look like it’s 3d. I hope they did drop at least one die in here amongst the loot.

Hm. Re-watching (scene inside the wagon starts about 1:27:00) and yeah, as she’s swinging in and we see the floor from a different angle, they are flat. But at least one of them in this pic looks like a d6 with pips.

Missed opportunity here, movie folks :D

Looking forward to this for my character. One more level… :D

“Look, I’m sorry, I just had to check whether a stake through the heart would kill him. It didn’t really occur to me that it would kill normal people too.” ;)

First off the development of that backstory is beautiful.

Also my rogue lost all her dignity to a mimic recently. 2 mimics. I shot the second one and tried to hide from it on a bookshelf but it frog-tongued me. Also lost almost all my hit points.
