They're going to Nesme, so I need to make everyone extra jerky. Which shouldn't be a stretch for me. <br /><br />brandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507192624540239249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544605318041410797.post-17000007961157720672013-10-08T20:45:08.954-05:002013-10-08T20:45:08.954-05:00First of all, that 70's movie was awesome. Se...First of all, that 70's movie was awesome. Second of all, the Book of Vile Darkness was actually a thing before the movie was athing. Its an actual D&D 3e splatbook. So the poor naming proclivities really reside with the Wizards of the Coast People who thought that was a good title backin '04. Because it wasn't. And still isn't.<br /><br />I agree that it could use some sprucing up. I like your suggestions. Tome seems an easy addition. Tome of Vile Darkness. That's already 100x better. Now just replace Darkness with something like Depraved, and Vile with something like ...Malevolence. (Thanks thesaurus.com!). A little swappado and you've got <i>The Tome of Depraved Malevolence.</i><br /><br />If that doesn't get the parents calling into the network to ban your movie I don't know what will.Coryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175851469275651744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544605318041410797.post-73256188172236156962013-10-07T21:15:35.606-05:002013-10-07T21:15:35.606-05:00Whelp. Now I gotta watch it.
So I have to ask. ...Whelp. Now I gotta watch it. <br /><br />So I have to ask. Book of Vile Darkness? Really? That's what they chose to call it?<br /><br />They need to fancy that up. Librurm. Tome. Anything. Just try a little bit. <br /><br />Off the top of my head:<br />1. Liber Demonica<br />2. Tome of Ebon Dreams<br />3. Cartogrofee D'Mortus<br />4. Journal of Dr. Arvon Grimkoph<br />5. Blood Tome Volume IV<br />6. Fragment from the Scroll of Shadowterror.<br /><br /><br />But nope, it probably went like this:<br /><br />Writer 1: So we have these adventurers looking for the Book of Darkness.<br /><br />Writer 2: Not scary enough. How will the audience now it's not just regular darkness?<br /><br />Writer 1: I guess I could call it the Book of Darth Sidious Darkness.<br /><br />Writer 2: Don't get cute. Let's just call it the Book of Super Dark. That'll get em. Oh, and throw in some boobies. And some magic missile, and a longspear of backbiting. Everyone likes those.<br /><br />Writer 1: How about we have a wizard get snatched up by a dragon, like that 70s movie?brandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507192624540239249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544605318041410797.post-56570660713448418782013-10-06T20:29:10.455-05:002013-10-06T20:29:10.455-05:00Of course! Thank you! That was bothering me. He...Of course! Thank you! That was bothering me. He's a Goliath. I knew it must've been a recently-introduced race, I just couldn't remember which. I was sitting there thinking...are they trying to represent a Warforged? No, this is definitely not Eberron... what is this guy? A Goliath. Right on.<br /><br />And oh yeah, I really liked the Bag of Holding trick. And how the water kept bubbling for a long time after he threw it in there.Coryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175851469275651744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544605318041410797.post-63822215917513893272013-10-06T19:49:38.007-05:002013-10-06T19:49:38.007-05:00It's a Goliath, Cory.

I didn't remember that either, but the witch calls it out, and then in our game today, the GM reminded us about the tattoos they have, which made it click for me. He definitely got the Paragon Bag of Holding for that guy...<br />Darth_Cibeoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661400501081213390noreply@blogger.com
