Well considering that according to game cannon that the Master dope up the zents it's hard for them to tell what is Real Real and Drug Real.

Which leads to some how shall we say *entertaining* moments when one of the Zents freaks out at the controls of his mech which leads to ten digit range property damage values.

But at lest the general public is saving massive amounts of money on urban renewal costs even if say *urban renewal* is largely unplanned and semi controlled.


So far all my mine have done is trip over the pencils and dice on my dining room table.



So you are saying that they are *drop* troops?

If a gaming miniature trips and falls in the middle of the night, and nobody's awake to hear it, does it make a sound?

You'd have to ask the hard core gamers that have been awake for that last week or so straight.

Well, now the castle that's being defended by two Battlepods and a Spartan destroid is also host to a miniature plastic pony, a small kitten plushy, all atop various towers, and is flanked by two godzilla-sized cat plushies. As conversation pieces go, it's one of the odder combinations...and that's just from the perspective of the castle defenders....

And you thought garden gnomes led interesting lives....

there actually is a miniatures game where the scale is 1:1.. Fairymeat. a game where you control cannibalistic fairies hunting each other, wit hthe 25mm tall mini's being 'actual size' rather than scale. the first expansion added gnomes, which could be represented with the smaller lawn gnome figures..

In one of the Rifters there -is- a recipe for a fairie dish consumed by orcs and other monsters, that gives them temporary flight capabilities. Faerie Wing Soup, I believe.

#32 :Mega-Steel Chef'. It is indeed Faerie-Wing Soup, and it renders the eater immune to fear.

Thanks also give that there is a " Defense Against The Dark Arts " it's safe to say that there is other kinds of magic being taught at MCHS#69 so with that said or that some of the Nerd Boys have created a rift machine it's a safe bet that the more *enterprising* students have been jumping to fantasy worlds and capturing the Wee Folk and feeding them a steady diet of FOL and then selling them to other students so they can lick them and get a buzz going like some people use to lick toads in Pre Rain times or selling them to the cafeteria staff as " Fairy Fries " also " Fairy Licking. " is *VERY* popular at the Sisters Of Repentant Woes. :twisted:

No toddlers in my household...and the vacuum cleaner's not likely to be a threat either...

Anyways...

Meanwhile, on a table in a household somewhere in the Real World....

A small spider drops a thread down to a lighthouse sculpture where a Gray Company Regult is standing on the (wooden) rocks. standing silent sentry, covered with a fuzz of dust.
Spider: "Yo, Zob."
Regult Pilot: "Hi, Spi."
"How's it going."
"Nothing doing. I stand here gathering winter dust and watch out the window. The usual. You?"
"Spin a web here, spin a web there, eat a moth, avoid the swatter. The usual."
"See you around, Spi."
"Know where to find you, Zob."
