Accessible Dorkery?

I wonder if escitalopram gives people more memorable dreams than they would normally get.  I seem to be having them, including one that woke me up at half past 4 this morning with the notion that I should remember it, and that I had accomplished something.  I have not remembered any more than that, surprising no one.  This morning's dream involved a riverboat trip with Fenris and Anders from Dragon Age 2.  I need to cut back on the video games, clearly.

Today I get to pick up the piggehs!  The German name for guinea pigs translates, directly, to "sea piglet," which is the cutest thing godsdamned ever.

So last night, I was reading a pdf made from threads where some guy was reading the D&D 2nd Ed Monstrous Manual.  I love RPG bestiaries, even (especially) for games I never played or never want to play, and when I was not a gamer, I owned that book (I think it's, appropriately, in mom's basement).  The 2nd Ed bestiaries were kind of unique among D&D supplements in that they contained a lot of interesting trivia about their monsters, instead of just their stat block (an increasing problem in later editions) - meaning they actually had things interesting to non-gamers (3rd and 4th edition, not so much).  Little tidbits like what things you can turn into armor and which burrowing terrors are good for the soil.  I think I made it as far as the Cs.  Anyway.

This kind of inspires me - I love that stuff in games, and the system that I am working with doesn't really have stat blocks, and I am eying the notion of making a bestiary for the game I am currently running (a horrible, terrible game that takes a lot of it's cues from Adventure Time - there was a Queen-themed volcano dungeon with a golden statue of Freddy Mercury bearing the motto "volo eam omnia, et volo nunc" which my players regarded as pretty much the most memorable gaming experience ever, though I think I missed an opportunity in not introducing the Fat Bottomed Princess).  So maybe I will try putting together a sample entry and see how it goes.

Not this morning.  I am serving two masters, and they are getting to be more than a little demanding.  Back this afternoon, maybes, with pigs!
