AHA! That’s the spider I saw at my place in the Oregon Coast Range. I’d been raking a trail, and saw a big black spider with a glossy carapace and thick, muscular legs. I must have raked up it’s tower.

Great idea for a D&D monster. Much larger, of course.

Alternately, use a normal-sized spider, and shrink the players.
You know, like “The Adventures of Paul on the Floor” meets “The Incredible Shrinking Man” – with swords and fireballs.

I was thinking that too, actually, after I posted. I’ve done things like that before, and they can be great fun. I had a fairy ring of mushrooms that shrunk them when they stepped inside. All they had to do to return to normal was to exit the ring, but it was now quite a hike to get out…

Ok, let’s leave them to their spider holes. They can have them.

This is perfect as I first read that headline as them waiting in tiny towels.

I really appreciate the beauty of some spiders and their role in the environment. I have to confess though that my very favorite kind of spider is a dead one. All gods wonderful little creatures and all that but those bastards creep me out. Is that rational? Nope and I live that bit of irrationality quite comfortably. Fuckin 8 legged freaks
