kobold

“He's a kobold...you know, invisible. Gets very upset when people assume he's not there. So, you can't.”

In a typical game, online or off, the game master will present the players with a situation — an encounter with a kobold, say.

“This chump is so broke that he has to bum rides to Greyhawk, just so he can kill kobolds for copper pieces! And he’s calling me a poseur!”

“In Germany, kobolds are house sprites that brewed in the cellar at night,” he said recently.

That's just not at all a chill thing to shout across the room while drunkenly playing cards / watching football / looting a horde of kobolds in your weekly D&D session.
