Summer’s almost here, and that means it’s time for another summer of Paducah’s weekly Downtime After Dinner events. Since there has been some recent controversy surrounding the festival, I tracked down event coordinator Paxton Stooge and asked him a few questions about what we can expect this summer.

Lately, several members of the Hex staff have been discovering or re-discovering classic pulp sci-fi and fantasy. I picked up a big ass book of Conan stories a few months ago and have been slowly making my way through it; a few of the others have read or re-read the John Carter of Mars books (which are in also in my reading pile) in the past year; and all of us have been fans of the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser books for quite some time. Not surprisingly, the subject of Sword & Sorcery fantasy came up at Hexcon South, the staff retreat and flood preparedness workshop held just outside of Nashville during the first weekend of May.

For this month’s FSYNS, we thought we’d combine all three, because there’s nothing funnier when you’re stoned than religion. So without further ado, here’s some funny God-related stuff that should keep you giggling in between taking hits and wolfing down chocolate bunnies.

The mentor is a character, usually older or more experienced than other members of the group, who uses his experience to prepare the younger heroes for their ultimate mission or destiny. In addition to acting as an adviser and sometimes teacher, the mentor often acts as the conscience and voice of reason for the group. It is traditional for the mentor to die (or at least retire) once he has taught the younger heroes everything they need to know, but this is not strictly necessary in an RPG setting.
