New Year's Eve 2009 - Dungeons and Dragons and OMG FIRE!

Posted January 1st, 2010 by Jeremy Reimer

For the second year in a row, I was determined to make a fondue. I took extra care this year to not load the oil into the pot before I had the fondue fluid lit, but unfortunately I didn't count on the fondue fluid container collapsing just after I lit it, resulting in an exciting moment:

"Jen: I'll have to call you back OMG fuck! fuck!"

(Jen puts down phone, runs to kitchen, opens cabinet and gets fire extinguisher and hands it to me as I stare dumbly at the burning tablecloth)

(I leap to action, ripping the plastic safety cord from the fire extinguisher and pull the trigger)

The noble tablecloth gave its life to protect the table, and ourselves:

Fortunately, the damage was minimal, and I was able to get the fondue going:

After the fondue, it was time for Dungeons and Dragons! I haven't DM'ed since high school, and I remember sucking and being a terrible DM back then, so I was determined to do better this time!

The Wizard was a little drunk already, and not even that clued in that she was in a dungeon, so I decided to have one of the goblins throw a javelin at her shoulder to get her attention!
