3E Art -- More accurate than you thought

Post by Welleran »

We take you from your normally scheduled talk of hurricanes and Mentzergate (Mentzercane?) to show you this video that Proves, rather Conclusively, that 3E-style artwork weapons of Immense Proportions are perfectly legit, logical, and useable in the FRPG of your Choice.

Nice try, Welleran, but your informercial on cosplay/LARPing cannot compete with live coverage of OJ in his white Bronco. I'm on pins & needles until OJ is able to track down who really murdered Nicole and hacked Frank's account.

I'd like to see one about all the armor that is more dangerous to the wearer than their opponent.
The DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE City of Brass cover is good and bad at the same time. While its very representational of a high level adventure, it sends a clear message to the dumb: Satan is going to cornhole Miss USA with a big red member and theres nothing science or the military can do about it. - Gene Weigel

Thumbs up, man. Thumbs up. I really needed that laugh. 8)
Yeah, many of those will grant 10d6 damage, but you only get, like, 1 attack per 12 rounds, so... :roll:

Those are ridiculous, but it sounds like he's laughing all the way to the bank (and having fun while doing it), so more power to him.

My wife and kids love his YouTube channel. It's gotten one of my boys interested in becoming a blacksmith.

I'm not sure if I want to show my boy the channel. I mean, he's already getting some blacksmithing lessons from a friend. Not sure if he needs the aim of making fucking huge swords. However, might be a lucrative hobby. :shrug:
