We...
-killed the Mad Unicorn
-went down to the dragon's turf
-looked down to Hell
-sent a lich down to Hell
-survived!

And to top it off, I successfully caroused at the Blue Rabbit and didn't join the Church of Satan or fall in love with a married woman.
The Blue Rabbit is a dangerous place to carouse... but so worth it! I love playing in Jeff's game on G+ and would kill to play in person with him. Jealousy abounds ;)

I hate you guys
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

And unfortunately my time here at Gary Con has run out. I depart the Lodge early in the morning.

Managed to get one last game in tonight- a fun (but short) Tekumel session. Our party of mostly unremarkable misfits barely managed to even make it into the underworld and were on the whole pretty inept. Hilarity ensued and then we managed to get locked/sealed into a burial crypt. The session basically ended with the survivors being sent to hell.

Second time today my character gazed upon eternal damnation. Fun times! More pictures and anecdotes late Sunday after I'm home.
Still searching for that walking treasure chest...
