What's up with vindictive gamemasters? Seriously. . .

And so it begins. . .

I'll refrain from making the usual pun about Wednesday rolling around yet again. With this new Saving Throw, our Points of View curator returns with another story about his psychic dwarf's battle against a zombie giant. JC Carleski returns with a followup to my guide on choosing dice when creating a tabletop RPG. For submitting a guide, JC earns himself a golden caret:

^

Submit a guide and earn your own golden caret! For that matter, submit anything good, and you have a chance of earning a golden caret for your efforts! You know you want one!

And with that done, it's time for the meat of the column.
