Can anyone identify the books in this picture? http://cdn2.earwolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/IMG_3396.jpg Are those Pathfinder books? Is that a Rules Cyclopedia under the DMG? What book is Blaine holding?

That's correct. There is no saving throw, and they "unerringly strike their target."

I was thinking Grand Theft Auto D&D, but those are even better comparisons.

TOTALLY SHITS WHEN I FART Oh my god, I am still laughing over this. Also, I'm digging Blaine's sandbox approach to DMing (at least, it seems like that's what he's doing). I don't know if he's got an overarching story in mind, but right now it seems like he's just giving the group a setting to get into shenanigans in and letting them direct the action through their choices. I like running that kind of game.
