Fblthp has Gone Fishing

 

Last weekend I went fishing with a mate. It started like any other fishing trip - I bought bait, snacks, gear and a nice chair. I went to put some bait on my rod and low and behold. THERE. HE. WAS.

Fblthp had somehow ended up in my bag!

I proceeded to do what any stand-up citizen would do when finding a homunculus in their fishing gear. I ignored him.

This didn't satiate his curiosity, as he proceeded to steal my mates chair, sit down and start a conversation, taking in the view and scaring off the fish with his loud gutteral noises.

Whoever taught Fblthp Mongolian throat singing, I will find you.

I decided I'd try to calm myself as my mate caught the only fish of the day, I went to eat some of my packed snacks. He had eaten them before I could reach them. Agitated I went to put more bait on my line and would've proceeded to fish had he not eaten all the bait too.

Annoyed I tried to use him as bait- admittedly this resulted in him singing underwater and scaring off the fish. After hours of torment I told him to "Get lost". As if by magic, he did... a pelican swooped down and flew off with him in his beak. The entire time Fblthp kept waving and looking around in awe.


It's times like these I wish Nicol Bolas had found his way into EPIC Ipswich instead of Fblthp. Admittedly though my life seems uneasily quieter without him...
Uuuugh I miss him already....

The website got a facelift

 It has been busy busy busy behind the scenes here at EPIC Ipswich over the past fortnight. Prep work for the Benevolent Owners shared vacation, juggling the change in the store's layout, new til systems, new television menus, and becoming increasingly popular. This isn't even factoring in the change in menu, or the upcoming events planned. We have been busy and you can trust I'll give you, loyal readers, a store update once we get time. In the meantime, our website has been updated by yours truly. When I first did the original website home page I had the essential elements, with a lot of my working hours, I've been making the website more streamlined and more friendly to our bandwidth. Please note, that the game pages are still to be updated to provide you more information about what we do here. In the mean time, anticipate big things on the horizon. I saw some streaming gear in the offices.... I suspect it will have something to do with videos on the social media end....

What is Adventurers League?

  Adventurers League is a standardised and regulated form of Dungeons & Dragons . It uses the rules as written in the official D&D books, so you don't need to worry about any homebrew rules. Character creation is limited to the Players Handbook and one other source, which means you don't have to worry about anyone making characters that are too game-breaking, as well as all the possible worlds you can end up in are all published D&D settings  To put it simply, Adventurers League takes all of the guesswork out of D&D. The stories are already written, the rules are plainly outlined, and everything is structured. So it is a great place to learn as a player and even as a Game Master  Each session is a short self-contained 2-4 hour story, though some will make callbacks to other stories you won't miss much if you can only come in once a fortnight instead of every week, unlike other games where it always feels like when you miss one session you end up missing ...
