Dear all,

Thanks to StatsChat<http://www.statschat.org.nz/>'s D&D link yesterday to h=
ttp://lewisandquark.tumblr.com/post/165373096197/a-neural-network-learns-to=
-create-better-dd

I've decided my upcoming session *will* contain a Wall of Storm  and maybe =
2 or 3 other on the list.
However, despite the oversufficiency of NPC (& PC?) goblins, it probably wo=
n't have a Shield of Farts.

Regards, Michael
