oakenguyLa, fun weekend! On Saturday ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heavenscalyx, one of my ol...er...one of my friends who I've known for the longest time celebrated her birthday by DMing a good old-fashioned D&D first edition dungeon crawl! It was amazingly fun; the combination of adventuring on high cliffs and players on massive sugar highs created some fascinating problem solving.
Oh, and the food! I need to get the recipes for the ginger cookies and that amazing dip, and the cake! The birthday cake had a bottom layer that was basically brownie dough, with a truffle ganache, and then a top layer that was a burnt sugar cake. The whole thing was then frosted with a vanilla glaze, and then a hex map had been marked off with dark chocolate, and the top was decorated with little miniatures and fire elementals made out of burnt sugar! It was both the best dessert and the geekiest single piece of art I have ever seen.
For the record, I played Astoundo the Gnome Illusionist, who was basically an unholy cross between the Mayor of Munchkinland and Gob from 'Arrested Development'.
