The unexpected Mimic (fedia.io)

So i've had a dream on a mimic I've wanted to use for awhile, and I finally got the chance to use it last night.

The scene: You come across a chest, a podium, and a book laying on top of the podium titled "How to spot a Mimic".

The first thing my trap checker player did was check the podium for traps. When she had the all clear, she then grabbed the book.

The next half hour of the Mimic being a monster book of monsters was just a hilarity I wish was recorded.

I think this is pretty funny but depending on your players, they might check all 3 for mimics! Some of us were traumatized once and now we are very suspicious…

@plum This is the first time a Mimic I placed that was successfully triggered, and this particular group of players didn't vocalize any suspicions on the book being the Mimic. We ended the session with joking that everything is now a potential mimic, especially that rock over there, or perhaps that Stalagmite, maybe even my sword is a mimic now.

I just gotta patiently wait for the Mimic funny business to calm down before I place another one, muhahahahaha.

Funny. My client seems to think you commented this -102 minutes ago.

Same, seems like it's probably just a bad timestamp

@plum @theolodger

I wonder if it's something funky with how kbin and Lemmy handles timestamps.

I hail from Fedia.IO, a kbin instance.

Fedia has a time problem.

Rather unfortunate to know that it's from this instance. I do trust that my admin, the almighty Jerry, will be able to resolve it.
