Sunday Game on Saturday

So the group only got a little ways into the lizardman lair. Mostly due to having to deal with a couple encounters on the way thru the marsh. The first an easy one with a hunting party of pygmy lizard-newts. The second was with a group of bullywugs. That fight was actually more difficult than I expected. Brendan's battlemage almost lost both his legs to critical hits.

And then Goldy (Noah's fighter) and Harlen (the battlemage) almost threw down after a mutual trash talking binge. I had to have the NPC cleric Friar Donnely (who we all kept calling Mike for some reason) go all Boston Irish-Catholic priest on them. Threaten to take them both out to the woodshed if they didn't get their shit together. That got everything moving along all friendly like again...

After they reached the lizardman lair they only cleared a couple of rooms before we had to wrap for the night. Good session, despite a great deal of crappy rolling on everyone's behalf. Numerous fumbles, but also LOTS of just bad rolls...

Television

So tonight was the premiere of HBO's new series "Rome". Acting was basically good. And the storylines seem good from what I can tell from the first episode. But more importantly they seemed to actually WORK at getting the historical stuff accurate. I mean for the first time someone showed the fucking legions fighting CORRECTLY. Plus its got the violence and gore levels of "The Sopranos" or "Deadwood".

I also finally managed to catch another episode of this season's "Rescue Me". Damn.
