| - | Miyama: In my own attempt to make you feel better, might I tell you about the laughs I've gotten from the Arduin Grimoire?

| | | | |
| - | Auphamim: Sure.

| | | | |
| - | Break Miyama: The Arduin Grimoire was a 1st Edition optional sourcebook that was well known for its random table, which inevitably thinned out characters thrrough rolls of 1s and 20s.

| | | | |
| - | Break Miyama: Though there were 1st level randomly generated strengths and weaknesses (for example, my fighter rolled a result such that he knew ten languages at level 1, and other such incredibly powerful feats), it's most well-known for its critical hit and critical miss tables.

| | | | |
| - | Break Miyama: And for some reason, the characters rolled a lot of 20s....when fighting each other.

| - | Break Miyama: I kid not when I say that the in-party fighting all started with a fetus in a jar.

| | | | |
| - | Auphamim: Nevermind.

| | | | |
| - | Auphamim: Managed to solve it.

| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: Somehow.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: Solve...?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: Yeah. Imagine windows' theme becomes 3.11. Or something.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: Creepy.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: ....
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: *shudder*
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: Indeed.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: So, moving on...
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: As part of the final portions of the battle, the party kensai was left blind and mute due to arrow related injuries.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: They got his voice box and eyes, all because of that critical hit table.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: In last-ditch effort, our blind kensai picked up a pebble and tossed it at the paladin holdig an orb of annihilation.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: ....care to guess what the die result was?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: Death?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: Oh, it was so much sweeter. Natural 20.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: We rolled on the critical hit table...
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: "Victim's heart explodes. Instant death."
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: Due to a pebble.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: ...XD.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: What?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: Yes.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: A pebble made the paladin's heart explode.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: Even through full-plate.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: It was glorious.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: Interesting how a pebble can do that.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: Sounds like FATAL, though.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: As he fell, so did the orb of annihilation.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: The orb shattered, and proceeded to deconstruct the universe at a very rapid rate. XD
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: ...wha?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: The kensai was the only one left alive, and he was sucked into an alternate realm.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: The rest of us had to roll for new characters.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: >_<;; That's ridiculous.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: It was here where I rolled up Miss Reilina Sylpheed, the monk girl with no stat less than 14. Three 18s.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: ...I don't know if some god loved or hated you all.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: From then on, I decided if I rolled ungodly high stats, that I would play as Reilina.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: But that's a bit outside of the current tale.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: Further escapades resulted in that blind/mute kensai hitting on an old inkeeper in order to stay for free.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: ....you can guess how that turned out.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: "....dude, HOW the hell are you going to hit on her if you can't speak, or even see her?"
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: In order to demonstrate, the player stood up, shook his hips slightly, and nodded in a most Elvis-like manner.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: ...the kensai slept in the stables that night.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: Fast forward, past fighting killer rabbits.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: My friend Tydraad rolled an 18 for Str, which, according to the tables in 1E, meant he could literally carry a ton without problem.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: My other character, a samurai, insulted Tydraad.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: Tydraad promptly stabbed him, and killed him in a single stroke.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: As punishment, the DM caused a portion of the cave ceiling to fall on Tydraad.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: "....how much does it weigh?"
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: "About one ton."
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: "...hey, no problem, I can technically carry that..."
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: "Did I say one ton? I mean one hundred."
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: And so Tydraad was dead.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: I quickly erased my samurai's character sheet and lent it to Tydraad, who used it because his previous one was rendered unreadable.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: Thus, he created a Templar character.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: ....shortly after, we were informed that the entire thing was a dream sequence, so reset back to before, but with all kept experience.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: ....
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: ....it was tough explaining how my samurai turned into Tydraad's templar, as Tydraad would then still be alive...
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: I'm dragging on.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: There's more to it, but I won't bore you with the details.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: Go ahead.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: Not bored, just listening.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: Reading?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: And then came the iconic "and/or", as mygaming group refers to it to this day.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: It's an entry on that critical hit table that reads "Breasts and/or genitals ripped off from the attack - shock for 1-8 rounds, followed by death."
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: ...XD
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: ....we landed the and/or on a giant slug.....
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: I don't know how.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: I don't know why.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: But we did.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: Thinking back to the pebble incident, one could land the and/or with a small rock, or, dare I say it, one's bare hands. ><
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: >_>... Interesting.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: I'll think more widely when DM'ing now on.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: I wished I had scanned the Arduin Grimoire.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: It's pure comedic gold.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: And that's about it for my tale.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Auphamim: Interesting.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Break Miyama: To think I was introduced to D&D through THAT mess.
