She rightly recognized that, unlike the other posts in my Orcish Lowlands series, the gargoyles were kind of half-assed thrown in to the post. That is because they weren't gargoyles at all in my campaign, and I made the decision to censor myself, to avoid explaining a strange aspect of my world, in the interest of keeping the lowlands "generic" enough to be easily used as presented on this blog. I will not do so in the future, ans making that decision feels very liberating.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648499022366444265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210223820598148815.post-50505080793418983142010-03-14T21:56:34.749-07:002010-03-14T21:56:34.749-07:00No, am serious.

Certainly, not the players. They'll be more interested in clubbing the little buggers skulls in. Likewise, the DM could rule that the forest is sending up magnetic resonance that has opened a wormhole to the elemental plane of earth and include xorn, earth elementals, stone giants, etc., etc. that are have located themselves there because of it's attaction. Again, WHOCARES? Carl already did the hard part which is producing a set-piece for which play can occur in. The play is the thing, not Timeshadows obsessive need for boring, trivial background fluff.

Which practice may be a little trusting in this day and age, but I am willing to live with the risk of anonymous flamers, spambots or trolls if it means that someone who might not have done so otherwise posts a legitimate comment.
