Drizzt with a spear through his head... I don't need for this to be a punchline to make me laugh with glee and beam in utter joy! |

A githyanki walks into a bar. The bartender says "Hey, buddy; why the long face?" Doc |

Here is my Tavern Joke from my recent AD&D game,
Glad for a chance to relax after the last adventure, Grig invited Gorium, Ali and Talric to share some ale with him at the Orcs nest in Waterdeep. Unfortunately, each found a large fly in their ale. (It must have been the special of the day).
Ali looked into her ale and shuddered. "I have a fly in my ale. Please bring me another ale."
Talric and Gorium looked into their ale, found the fly, reached in and fished it out then continued drinking without comment.
Grig looked into his ale, saw the fly, grabbed it by the wings, shook it over the glass and yelled, "Spit it out, Spit it out!"

An elf maiden, a half-orc in chainmail, and a halfling walk into a bar.
"What is this, a joke?" demands the bartender.

Speaking of riddles - I saw in an older Dragon or Dungeon magazine (older, meaning late 90s) a riddle that had the answer elsewhere in the magazine, and the riddle was part of an ad for a riddle book.
I'm not good with riddles and such a resource would be awesome. Does anyone know the book I'm talking about? Any comments regarding it?

I'm not familiar with that work but I'm thinking there would be a variety of resources available. Making riddles used to be quite popular . Here is a website about riddles you may enjoy: ancienthomeofdragon.homestead.com/riddles.html |

The tricky thing about puzzles and riddles is making them the correct complexity. Too easy and the players don't feel challenged and the riddle sort of wastes their time. Too complex and the players get frustrated becasue they can't solve the puzzle.
It's even worse when you have an age-mixed group like I have. My wife and sister are rabid puzzle solvers, but my daughter is a lot slower at it and gets upset when she never gets a shot at figuring out the puzzle. She once said "why should I even try since the adults can get them so much faster than I can?"
One solution I have is to hand out a puzzle/riddle sheet right before the group takes a break for snacks. I tell everyone that if you solve the puzzle, say nothing. That gives the slower players the chance to solve it, too.
I had an idea of creating a couple of different puzzles -- one easy and one hard -- so that each age group has something more appropriate. Harder to do for me, but maybe better in the end.
Anyone have better ideas?

Great jokes! One of my co-workers who was a gamer brought in a list of "new spells". Evard's black and blue testicles had me in stiches for the rest of the day. Heck I still chortle about it from time to time.

Here are two "ethnic" jokes I came up with (not saying they're all that funny, mind you; just that I've used them in a game to break the tension):
Q: Why do elves have pointed ears?
A: So they can count to 12!
Q: Why do dwarves have large nostrils?
A: Because air is free!
(quickly ducks and runs away...)
