The cosmic entity had a lot of gall of Cthulhu to turn up to a family jamboree in "Y'all of Cthulhu", which led to a bit of a brawl of Cthulhu, thankfully then the fall of Cthulhu.

Of course the retired adventurers in "Seasoned Heroes" used to have pep in their step, saw a monster or two brought to justice, didn't used to mind when it was chilly, but that was a long time ago. They're still a bit salty about it, though.

And while I liked "NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL SWORDS VOL. d66", in some ways I prefered vol d2024, because at least I didn't have to remember which of the d20, d2 or d4 was the tens. But it was probably too many swords for a compilation.
