Podquisition 292: Queasy
Just because someone's feeling queasy that doesn't mean we can't talk about games.

I recall playing a D&D game with some buddies, and one player was fairly arachnophobic. We started exploring this cave, we start noticing webs. Larger webs. My buddy who was scared of spiders starts getting nervous. We enter a big cavern and the DM is like "from the roof descends... shit.... uh... Giant Poisonous Lizards". Cue fight with the lizards that could entangle us and had venom attacks (mechanically spiders, just using Lizard minis). Now "Web Lizards" are a meme.
That's a good thing to do for a player. I applaud your DM's awareness and willingness to accomodate!
I hope you feel better soon Jim. 馃檪 Sounds like it's been an awful week.
Mark Heap had his jaws surgically replaced with those of a cloned T-Rex so that he could chew the Upstart Crow scenery into oblivion and I love him for it. I'm honestly wrong-footed by the notion that it's a bad show because when I first found it I was delighted by how reminiscent it is of Blackadder and Thin Blue Line. It feels old but comfortable, like a well worn pair of slippers. It might not be to everyone's tastes but I'd heartily recommend giving it a chance.
