Let's roll some dice, watch some movies, or generally just geek out. New posts at 6:30 pm ET but only if I have something to say. Menu at the top. gsllc@chirp.enworld.org on Mastodon and @gsllc on Twitter.
TL;DR: Walkers makes potato crisps. They had a promotion where you could win a prize if you found a heart-shaped crisp in one of their bags. Everyone is supposed to carefully eat their crisps, pick out the heart-shaped ones, and one person with the best-shaped one would win the prize.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “They’re ‘chips,’ not ‘crisps’! And it’s called, ‘soccer’!” Yes, I know the Brits should all be blasted into space for all their egregious mangling of our language, but that’s not my current concern. These stories are probably not the only ones. This has probably happened to quite a few people, and even more that don’t realize they ate one. This was predictable, leading me to speculate they were hoping everyone would screw up and eat the heart-shaped chips so that Walkers never had to pay out the £100,000 ($120,183.50).
No, the chips don’t weigh 100,000 lbs. It’s just more English nonsense.
I, for one, would be pissed off if this happened to me. I could do a lot with that money.
Walkers should pay me $120,183.50 for this advertisement.
Sundays are now lazy days for me. I post either someone else’s work, or something silly. Usually both. Today is a meme created by Alex Tate over on the Facebook group, Tiamat’s Tavern. Alex granted me permission to reproduce it here.
The thing is, I’m with Jesse on this one. I get the need for dungeon fodder, but there are a lot of options for that. Besides, simply denying PCs the opportunity to flank a low-level NPC isn’t particularly overpowered if you find other ways to adjust the NPC to maintain balance. So, I have no problem with adding a bit of realism to my game even if not required from a gaming perspective. In fact, I prefer it.
