FWSH goes the Devil's Dew (only more caffeine goes caffeine).
"Behold! The Table of Transformation!"
And what's on the table?
"The Devil's Worship: The Role-Playing Game"
Hilarity ensues, including the Tick not understanding how dice work. I did a quick Google search and apparently I'm the last living role-player who reads the Tick. You heard it hear first! [MORE]
