This one’s a story with Reverend X.S. Kinesys. Empty chair at the table for a fallen party member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some years ago, I was running a short Adventure!<\/em> arc. The PCs were investigating, as one does. The trail had led them to a dockside warehouse. Rev K’s character decided to scale the outside of the building and peer in through one of the big ol’ industrial skylights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, some bad rolls led to him plunging through <\/em>the skylight. Always quick on his feet, Rev invoked Adventure!<\/em>‘s dramatic editing rules and described landing in a skip of fresh-caught fish rather than plummeting to his death on the cement floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I narrated the narrow escape and Rev pulling himself out of the fishpile, flicking scales and slime off his suit. Rev added the detail of removing a wayward fish from his pants pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EB, one of the other players, slid into the conversation with perfect comedic timing: “Huh. I guess you really do wear a codpiece.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This one’s a story with Reverend X.S. Kinesys. Empty chair at the table for a fallen party member.
