I\u2019m often amused by the anecdotes from other players who inhabit crazy gameworlds that are bursting at the seams with preposterous creatures. They think nothing of doing a dungeon where an Ogre will inhabit an unadorned room next to a Black Pudding, who both live next door to a Dire Bear and an Earth Elemental. Stories like this make me laugh because I can\u2019t help but picture what life must be like for these monsters in the dungeon as they sit around waiting for adventurers to show up. Talk about \u201cThe Odd Couple\u201d. Actually, that\u2019s a pretty cool idea for a comic: A sitcom-styled story about a bunch of freakish monsters who inhabit a trap-and-treasure laden dungeon, learning to love and laugh\u2026 together.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/?p=58720&amp;preview=true\">&#8211; Shamus, <span class=\"subhead-box\">Jul 6, 2007<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It feels a bit grim but i&#8217;ll admit it&#8217;s a bit funny the three year anniversary of dads death fell on fathers day this year.
