Carrying another helmet would ruin the disguise, but walking into a northern camp with the wrong colour of duct tape on your helmet can be dangerous.

For those who missed the earlier issues: At the Pennsic War, each side wears either red or blue tape on their helmets to show which team they’re on. My team has traditionally been red.

When Vindalf is really mad, he swears in Dwarven.

Much later, I decide that the helmet Vindalf is currently wearing has a back story.

In WW2, at least two prisoners escaped from maximum security POW camps by doing exactly this. They secretly made German officer uniforms and walked out the front door. There was one sentry who tried to ask for ID, but they just yelled at him for not saluting. Bluff check: Natural 20.

Hey, why aren’t the arrows on fire? All fantasy arrows have to be on fire, if you believe movies.

The best moment in movie battle history was in “Timeline”. The enemy *doesn’t* set their arrows on fire! The use of these “Night Arrows” is clearly cheating, and everyone is offended!

So, with the medical tent selling a hand full of laser swords, to raise money for bandaids etc., at Pennsic: how many lightsabers could be out there?

We failed to take into account that some nerds might bring their own from home. Turns out, that the group from Australia brought a bunch of high quality FX lightsabres with them. So we begin our raid on their camp, and just hear several, much better lightsabres igniting from all directions.

It was a calculated risk… I failed maths twice…

Arwen’s return would be a much bigger thing if I hadn’t cut her from the re-issue. Her original appearance just wasn’t that funny years later. In short, they met last war, were a thing for like two issues and then she left to join the Navy. Now she’s in colour and everything!
