Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Critical Failures: AWESOME POST in "[DnD 4E Discussion] ITT Wizards fails at the series of tube
I can sorta see A. I wouldn't give them anything more than an in-character best guess, though.
My answer to this question is "Probably something not good." unless it's as obvious as "Well, you'll fail the jump and fall down the pit which you haven't seen the bottom of."
"I'm going to try to calm the Mekillot."
"Ok, success means you can continue your trip."
"What about failure?"
"Indigestion."
"Oh that's not so bad. I can live with a little indigestion."
Context is sorely lacking here, so I suspect this won't endure as awesome. Zed's players want cut & dry parameters for what happens if they fail a skill challenge.
I had players last night tell me that A) they want to know exactly what happens when they succeed/fail at skill challenges ahead of time and B) they want to beancount travel issues.
These are two things that I guess I'll be working in, but I'm not thrilled about it.
Man, I'm going to start a Spelljammer type campaign with my friends with magic storms in space, ships navigating using gravity, and a robot swordsman. Anytime someone asks me how something works, I'm going to look at them like they're retarded for 10 seconds, then continue on.
"I'm a mad god. The Mad God, actually. It's a family title. Gets passed down from me to myself every few thousand years."
Everyone is already aware of how adorable and yet strangely homicidal my mother is. You don't grow up to pull the best damn desert spiky fortresses like I have for nothing.

I'm guessing the indigestion is the Mekillot's (whatever that is) after it eats the dude.
YOU'RE like a giant angry heavily armored cockroach like monster. That eats you. (Sorry, working on my schoolyard taunts)
Proper form would have been "Your mom is like a..."
