* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the ''Thieves World'' videos, Spoony mentions that he could easily have played off the flask of acid, if it hadn't been a CriticalHit. If Brendan/Martin had just rolled a normal hit, it would have tagged Tempus in the chest, which would have hurt a bit and annoyed him but wouldn't go any further than that. Had it missed, he would have just sidestepped the vial (and laughed at the poor S.O.B. who got hit instead).

Accidentally Accurate has been renamed per TRS thread.


* AccidentallyAccurate: In "Nightstake", Spoony says that for his ''Vampire'' game, he made up a sort of "black ops" Catholic order called the Order of St. Benedict V, then admits that he's not Catholic and just drew inspiration for the name from Benedict Arnold. There actually ''was'' a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Benedict_V Pope Benedict V]], but on the other hand he was only Pope for just over a month and didn't do anything of note other than having the Papal Staff cracked over his head.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Spoony thinks this was in effect in the book for "The Apocalypse Stone". To summarize: A demon who's pissed off at the party sets it up so they enter a friendly-looking tavern and eat some pork buns (or rather, [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies LONG pork buns]]); however, the text encourages the DM to fudge things so the players don't actually eat them. The fudging doesn't make sense ([[VoodooShark and would actually makes the players more suspicious]]) and completely contradicts the rest of the story (which has the demon leave a note for the players where he reveals the buns' "secret ingredient"), so Spoony figures an editor threw in the text as an "escape hatch" without the original writers' knowledge.

* AccidentallyAccurate: Tandem the Spoony would boast of being 'the Greatest Swordsman in the World' just as part of his AwesomeEgo character and it wasn't intended to be serious. When a sword specialist got offended by this and repeatedly got him into duels in an attempt to disprove it, though, Tandem managed to '''always''' beat his opponents by sheer luck, effectively ''becoming'' the Greatest Swordsman in the World.
