Bonus Note #30

Speaking of playing hide and seek... I bought this Grumpy Cat for my husband several Easters ago as part of a scavenger hunt to cheer him up. Since then this plush has also been hidden around the house in a myriad of locations. My favorite was when I hid him in the kitchen cupboard, and my husband, in his half-awake stupor, opened the cabinet door, grabbed out a cereal bowl, closed the cabinet door, stopped, opened back up the cabinet door, and *then* burst out laughing as it finally registered.

Here he is "hidden" among the tabletop RPG books, plotting evil things to befall our characters.

"Did we beat the DC?" "No." "Did we make our save?" "No." "Did we find any treasure?" "No."
My husband also had to go on business trips with his last job, so if his carry on bag was big enough, I would sneak Grumpy Cat inside as a stowaway. On this particular trip he was only taking a change of clothes in a messenger bag, so I took a photograph of Grumpy Cat attempting to fit inside, printed out the photo on computer paper, wrote "Wish we could go with you! Love, Wiffy and Grumpy Cat ::heart::" at the bottom, hid the printout in his bag in the folder with his travel documents, and clipped a "Secret Note inside, open with care. ::heart::" post-it to the outside of the folder.

If I fits, I sits.
Not so secret anymore, is it?

Here are two joke maps.

The first is from a D&D game my husband ran several years ago: As play progressed, he slowly unveiled what awaited us in the Tower of Horrors, yet at the end of the first play session we still had a large chunk of the map left unexplored. I decided to preemptively fill in the blank areas with things such as a secret door leading to the Bifröst, a tarp ("It's a tarp!"), an in-game reference to Sam & Max's "Just You And Me (And Ted E. Bear)", a day spa complete with a rubber duck filled bubble bath and a half-giant sized massage table, and a room full of magical kittens. We ultimately got none of those things.
What happens when players fill in the D&D map for the DM
Minotaurs. We just got minotaurs. And a redcap shopkeeper.
I don't know why I drew this second map, or what it was in reference to, but it also has secret kittens. Other highlights include an area with a save point and no enemies, an area one does not go, certain doom, lots of big treasure, and one place with "Ehh, okay treasure, I guess..."
Every map needs secret kittens
I drew a clear starting point, but there is no exit.

Day 360: Let the music play down at Scrabble Rock

I had a mousepad that was just a rounded square pad of graph paper, so one day I started doodling a cutesy Scrabble game onto it, using words like "love," "you," "bunches," "have," "wonderful," "husband," "sexy," "sexy," "darling," "hold," "mine," "mine," "kissing," "snuggle," and "keeper." In the corner it says "I won" followed by a heart and a smiley face.

"You lost. I won. By 15 points. Now wasn't that fun!? doo doo doooo doot doot doooo..."

Day 330: I'll always be cry-eye-eye-eye-ing over you

Day 9: Eyeball
"Eyebat"


Sure, sure, a beholder would have been a more appropriate D&D-inspired enemy for this challenge, but I like the weird and weepy abomination that is the eyewing (the original inspiration for almost every TV and video game eyebat enemy that exists today).

From the AD&D 2nd Ed. "Monstrous Manual":
"Eyewings are loathsome inhabitants of the Abyss. They are obedient, loyal, and dumb - perfect servitors for the dark gods and their more powerful minions.

An eyewing's body is a fat, egg-shaped ball covered with matted black fur. The 5-foot-wide body is supported by a pair of five-foot-long leathery bat wings. Each wing is tipped with a set of three razor-sharp talons. An 8-foot-long rat's tail dangles from the back of the body. The tail ends in a small, sharp spur. It has no feet, and has never been known to land.

The body is dominated by the single, bulging, 4-foot-wide eyeball. The eyeball is black with a blood-red pupil. A vile blue fluid continuously leaks from the eye, soiling its fur. Great leathery eyelids squeeze this fluid out and away from the creature. The stench is unbelievable..."


Other fun facts:
1. Their special attack is crying on people.
2. They have no mouth or lungs, and are sustained only by magic and evil thoughts.
3. They have been known to live on the moon.

I've seen so many of these I don't even bat an eye anymore

Nathaniel ran a tragic-horror RPG session where the big bad guys were phasing Grue, whose teeth were the only things you could see in the darkness.
