@Edwin Voskamp's - @Edwin Voskamp's AD&D Famous Last Words

I collected a list of AD&D Famous Last Words:

  • Well, I think that's the last of them.
  • Hey, what do you suppose this lever does?
  • I couldn't find any traps.
  • I disarmed the trap.
  • That's not really POISON gas.
  • Come on in. The water's fine.
  • Sure glad that's over with. I'm taking off my armour.
  • Okay wishing well.
  • I hope the bridge holds up.
  • What Landshark?
  • Things COULDN'T POSSIBLY get any worse.
  • Of course I trust the thief. He's in our party.
  • What does the mark on that door mean?
  • We really didn't need a cleric anyway.
  • I'll drink it.
  • I think I can make it.
  • Oops.
  • This is a really wimp dungeon.
  • Why did our torch flames turn blue?
  • What? No, I wasn't reading your module. I was just looking.
  • I go up to the lich and try to pick its pocket.
  • Geez, what an ugly ...
  • That door wasn't trapped the last time we were here.
  • Brak? That's a stupid name for a Barbarian.
  • A wizard, huh? I throw my drink at him.
  • I don't need to read the instructions.
  • It's a troll. So what?
  • This looks like a good place to set up camp.
  • The'll never find me here.
  • Does a 3 save?
  • Push the red button first, then the blue button. No wait -
  • We'll go in. We can handle anything.
  • What do you suppose that rushing noise is?
  • Oh no, not again.
  • Nothing ever happens on the first level.
  • Shh! There it is again.
  • Naw, the DM won't hit us with anything till we get to the dungeon.
  • A vampire! Ha, ha, where's my mirror?
  • If the merchant doesn't like it, I'll just run him through.
  • Giants. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
  • I've never seen a ballista before. What's it do?
  • Hey, you in there! Come out and fight!
  • I'm a cleric. I can turn ALL undead.
  • What Luck, a Demon Prince! If we kill him we get a horde of X.P.
  • Oh, we won't die, the DM won't let us.
  • It looks like some kind of mold.
  • They're just kobolds.

Here are some of the ones I've heard in the campaign I played in, DM'ed by the incomparable Nick Homden;

  • Death before Dishonour! ATTACK!
  • I don't care, I won't retreat, no matter how big or powerful they are.
  • I don't need any help.
  • Duck!
Bullwhip Cracking
I attended a bullwhip handling seminar given by Gery L. Deer in Ann Arbor, organised by a friend of mine who had seen Gery perform at a local Science Fiction convention. Since I have practiced diligently and acquired two more whips: it is boatloads of fun!
Tekumel Published
With two friends I have developed a new RPG set on Tekumel for Guardians Of Order, a Canadian RPG company. It is out!
RPG Updates
I have been running my new game settings, based on my serial campaign concept, as well as have complete websites: ShadowWorld Mainline, ShadowWorld WWII and Grand Design.
I am working on a new current day ShadowWorld setting, with a new, entirely different cosmology.
More ...
Underworld is now ShadowWorld
Underworld, though laying claim to prior use, was renamed to ShadowWorld in the summer of 2002, to avoid confusion with earlier published role playing games with same or similar names.
It was moved to its own website.
