Be nice to the cleric

(from Penny Arcade)

Sorry if the comic is really tiny. Click on it to make it bigger (and readable)

Overheard... part III

• "Pants are the new feet" (Alex)
  "So how many feet in a pants?" (Gen)
  
  
• "Did you just say pants again?"
  

• "Ants ate my pants"
  
  (we were on a real pants kick that night)

• "Don't sneeze on our cleric!"

• "Well la dee da! Maybe I'll just stay dead then"

• "Welcome back, ya lazy slob. Have a good sleep?"
  (Lil, to Divodhiin, upon restoring him to consciousness)

• It's like a kissing booth ... of DEATH!"

• I'm quite thirsty from all this being killed to death"

• "We can be the Super Team of scaring-the-shit-out-of-children-at-night"

• "Wait ... Ledi's going to mate his flying what??"
  

My Little Cthulhu

Being relatively new to the whole D&D world, I know who Cthulhu is and that he's not the type of creature you'd ever want to encounter as an adventuring party, but I've never played a game that has had anything to do with him.

Still, I find it completely and utterly amusing that he's been turned into such a cute little cartoon character! Here are some of the adorable Cthulhu things I've found:

Dreamland Toyworks has a bunch of My Little Cthulhu things, like a papercraft (which I have and need better glue to assemble), complete with screaming victim.

But wait, there's much more!

Cthulhu will keep your feet toasty warm

You can snuggle with Cthulhu while you sleep

Hang Cthulhu on your Christmas Tree to celebrate the holidays

Or even have a My Little Pony Cthulhu-style (scroll down to #10)

*whew* And there's so much more! If I do play a campaign that features Cthulhu, I don't know if I'll be able to take it seriously after all this adorable marketing!

A bit of theatre...

Since this blog is supposed to be all funny things D&D (and not just what happens at our games... although it will be primarily that), I felt I had to include my ALL TIME FAVOURITE video:




Fans of the webcomic 8-Bit Theater (which I love but have never been able to read the entire thing) will doubly appreciate this video.

Enjoy!

Overheard... part II

• "I like the word 'uniboob'. It's so egalitarian."
  "One boob for all!"

• "What's the DC to pick up a spellcaster and ..."
  "And what? Use her as a weapon?!"
  "Use Magic Device!"

• "Sunstroke is just like a ray of enfeeblement"

• Undead are unaffected by mind affecting effects, yes"

• "Have you ever tried to train a squirrel?"

• "A cheaper focus to a friendlier plane - like an interplanar travel ad"

• "Campaign's over! Woo! Off with the robes!"

• "Joel is so cute when he's trying to kill me. I just can't bear it!"

• "Shit on it! Shit on it!"

• "Summon electric chicken!"

• "He's not naked. Calm down. He's just covered in ants."

• "Divodhiin, are you immune to metal?"

• "I'm moving in the direction of pants"

• "Can I get extra healing for that?" (Kat)
  "Only if you don't set me on fire" (Gen)
  "I'm sorry for that!" (Alex, exasperated)
  

Overheard... part I

• "Would it make you feel better if I let you kill me and bring me back?"

• "Didn't you bring haggis once?"
  "That was spinach dip."

• "Aw... it's okay, we'll get you some more spider teeth"

• "This is fun. We should go rod shopping more often"
  "Don't you trust me?"
  "I'll be gentle. I promise"
  "I prefer a more tactile approach when selecting rods"
  "The rod is appropriately attuned"
  "Would you like me to wrap the rod for you?"

• "He's a fine specimen."
  "A specimen of what? Childhood exposure to herpes??"
  "You can just cast Remove Disease"

• "Just ask around. We are not going to whore anyone"

• "Oh my god! He's in heat!"
  "He's always in heat."

• "Is this the same day as yesterday?"
  

Inaugural Post

Welcome to Snorkeling in the Hole!

If you're reading this, no doubt you're a member of our weekly D&D group.

If you're not a member, then I hope you enjoy and things aren't too confusing.


My goal is to post at least once a week (probably on Mondays) and record the funny and often profound things that get said at our games. Taken completely out of context, of course.

Also, if I spot other D&D related things, I'll try to draw attention to them as well. Nothing like game mechanics and such, but webcomics, or humorous apparel that you can by online. There's nothing serious about Snorkeling in the Hole :)

But first, let me introduce you to our D&D adventuring party (in South Park form):

Aethera is our cleric, a water elf, and follower of Calitha Starbrow.


Dallas is the magical fire power, also a water-elf, and spoiled rich debutant


Delilah (or Lil) is Dallas' sister, and the newest member of the group. Also packs a mean magical punch


Divodhiin, our bard. The picture really says it all.


Grimgore, the meat shield ... er, I mean, the brawn of the group. Loves to kill things.


Myrr is our scout and archer. She's a rakasta (hence the cat ears)

Maureen is our fearless leader, shrewd business woman, and a kinda reminds me of Sailor Moon in this picture...

And Ledi, our monk. He's a raccoon-flying squirrel-type creature that no one can adequately describe. Packs a mean punch.
