I think my gaming group (well two of us, anyway; the rest being either too old or too young to remember them) started the hypothetical questions because we figured Skip's probably seen just about every stupid question on the planet during his tenure.Michael Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13217338828086458862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727301007280965202.post-29404240717312144422009-02-16T18:10:00.000-05:002009-02-16T18:10:00.000-05:00Giant Geko?

I hope this one never comes up in my game. I guess someone should start a blog called "Greyhawk CSI" to tackle this shit.Kevin Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14122665488285424578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727301007280965202.post-70095457681275570342009-02-16T17:05:00.000-05:002009-02-16T17:05:00.000-05:00I remember Sage Advice used to make its April colu...I remember Sage Advice used to make its April column into a collection of the previous year's head-scratchers. I remember one question about what would happen if a mage polymorphed a PC into a glass of water, then drank the water--would the essence of the PC merge with the mage?<BR/><BR/>There was another question in the same issue about the weight of draconians and feasibility of using them as catapult ammunition.<BR/><BR/>At the very least, those April columns were always good for a laugh and an insight into just how zany D&D could get at times.David Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727301007280965202.post-16613289239357182202009-02-16T09:20:00.000-05:002009-02-16T09:20:00.000-05:00How are they going to collect the sample to keep i...How are they going to collect the sample to keep it sterile?
