This is not a "D&D" thread. It's in the *TTRPGs General forum, and the question was about RPGs in general.

It does if you're also proficient in an associated skill.

I don't know if this can be generalized across TTRPGs, but I think "adventuring" can be equated to the interesting parts of a story that take a fair amount of telling as opposed to the less interesting parts that can be passed over easily.

Odeh Muhammad Hadalin, the Palestinian activist and teacher who played a key role in the production of the Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land”, was shot and killed by an Israeli settler in Masafer Yatta, a village in the occupied West Bank, near Hebron on Monday.

Our last three sessions were posted about here. It had been several months since our previous session when we finally got around to playing again. In the interim, I had rolled up the next wandering monster the party would encounter in the dungeon, an ogre named Blozug. To telegraph the...

My dad read The Hobbit to me and my brother as a bedtime story, probably shortly after the airing of the Rankin/Bass special in 1977 which, I think, created a lot of interest in us. I was four years old. I started playing D&D soon after a family trip to England in 1981 where I came across the...

As someone who's never read the manga but really enjoyed watching the anime, I'm impressed at how faithful the anime is to the artwork in these panels. Thanks!

Watching the game's progress in the other room, Terrin gets an idea and speaks over his shoulder to the ox handler as one brooding over an injustice. "You think that's fair," he asks, "that they sit on their arses and play games, lording it over us while we do all the hard work and provide the...

"Right," says Terrin in response to the ox handler, a little put out at being overheard discussing the game with Copper. He stays quiet as he continues to unpack the wagon and begins stacking items in the southwest corner of the storeroom while he listens to the conversation at the table...

I think it's a good plan, but I'm not seeing a way in right now. If you do, I'd say go for it, and Terrin will back you up however he can. Eta: Maybe Copper can convince them he wants to play in order to maximize the size of his tribute.

Terrin - Team Infiltrate Terrin climbs onto the wagon and hands a parcel off to Copper, using the opportunity to lean in and say in response to his question, "Never played it but sure I could follow along." He unpacks a lantern and hangs it above the wagon, lighting it to get a better look at...

@Leatherhead , @Neurotic , what do you think? Can we take these guys? Eta: My only other thought is if someone (Copper?) can steal the key to the cage from whoever is holding it and release the drow first, but that seems like a long shot. Let me know if you want to fight, and I'll cast bless...

Team Infiltrate - Terrin Satisfied that whatever lies behind the northern door warrants further investigation, Terrin resolves to return once the drow prisoner has been found (and freed, if possible) and prepares to hand back control of the oxen to the cultist and to follow the wagon down the...

Team Infiltrate - Terrin Terrin holds the oxen in place while the cultist goes to talk to the woman. When she looks over the wagon, he avoids eye contact and momentarily glances over, when she returns her attention to the cultist, to try to notice something about her body language or any...

Team Infiltrate: In case it isn't obvious, it seems like this drow is someone we might want to help free. Eta: I think Copper is already going in that direction if I'm not mistaken.

I'm inclined to let them take us deeper into the mountain to see if there are any signs indicating in which way it might be fruitful to explore for the inner vault.

Terrin stays quiet and observant, peering out from under his helmet at the interior of the cultists' surroundings as the gate closes behind them, and tries to avoid communicating with anyone in anything but the occasional grunt. "So this is what it's like to be finally inside Blackpeak," he...

It seems no plan survives contact with Merrick!😊

"Feed the Beast!" Terrin quickly chimes in, shouting in as rough and mercenary-like a voice as he can summon, and awaits the gate's response.

As the wagon approaches the bend, Terrin passes back among the group, shifting his staff into his shield hand and uttering strange words in a harsh sounding tongue. He gestures in the air and places his hand on Urgan's shoulder. "May my Lady grant secrecy to your departure," he says quietly...
