Project Update: Day Two: The Art of DnD--Debts & Diplomas!

Greetings, Warriors of Warranties!

Thank you all once again for helping us fund on Day One! Now that those nerve-wracking 24 hours are over, we can focus on unlocking the Achievements (please share the project!) and taking peeks at the book!

I mentioned in a comment on an earlier update that one of the best parts of writing these parodies is getting to look closely at the classic books and reimagining some of the amazing creatures there. And a big part of the fun is seeing what artists do to put a new spin on them!

For example, consider Blibdoolpoolp. With a name like that, you just know it has to have some pun-ishing entry in this book. Behold, the Billdogopoof!

I love how Jeff Witty hints at the original name on the t-shirt. And that dog!


Here's a peek at some crucial data on this fiend:

BILLDOGOPOOF: MISPLACED BILL/MISTAKEN AUTOPAY

FREQUENCY: Uncommon to Common, depending on the PPC and their organizational abilities. Not sure? Their spouse or partner is sure to know!

NUMBER APPEARING: 1-4. Check the day of the month and cross-reference when auto-deposits and withdrawals hit. Of course, if the PPC could do this, the Billdogopoof probably wouldn’t appear in the first place.

ACCESS CLASS (AC): Distressingly high, particularly if you have two-factor authentication.

MOVE: Now that bills no longer depend on the postal service, movement is infinite. Bills and late-fees can follow a PPC wherever they go.

HAPPY POINTS (HP): With our AI overlords taking over most customer service tasks with cheerful, vapid responses, contacting a bank or credit card company is mostly a matter of menu options. This means the Billdogopoof is impervious to pleas for understanding or even exhausted sarcasm: 24 HP.

HAPPY DICE (HD): 4d12. Missing a payment is tough, and so is the Billdogopoof.

% IN LAIR: 100%. The Billdogopoof is always home. It just happens to be YOUR home.

TREASURE TYPE: Your wages.


[And there's more in the book!]

Terrifying, I know! Well, that's why we wrote this sourcebook: so your players, friends, and family members can learn what they're up against!

So again, thank you for making this book a reality, and please help spread the word!

With Compound Interest,

Martin at Gaming Honors
