Attempting to distract the veteran's attention away from both the cage containing the dark elf and the possibility of growing opposition to his actions among the cultists, Terrin reengages with him, feigning cooperation with his inquiry. "I know what you're thinking, sir," he says to the...

I think we should at least try to open the cage holding the drow first? Hopefully, he's an ally! 😂

I'm pretty sure the plan was to take advantage of the confusion to steal the keys from Rowlow and/or free the imprisoned elf.

According to my research, Tavros is a "film only" character dating from 2010.

There was also the Minoton in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger who propels Queen Zenobia's boat.

Seeing the older mercenary approaching, Terrin gulps and tries to look unfazed as he continues unloading, moving further into the storeroom to draw the mercenary's attention away from the gaming table, hoping to give his friends time to execute their plan. Meanwhile, he searches his mind to...

As Copper joins the game, Terrin attempts to goad the ox-handler to anger, having taken note of his hatred towards the cultists. "See what I mean," he hisses as they both observe the table, "they let him play when he only just got here, while you've been here, what, how many years now?"...

I'm in the I don't give the party any camp. The availability of healing potions to the party depends on the edition my group is playing. In 5.0E, potions of healing are on the equipment list so are available for purchase in settlements of town size or larger limited only by the party's available...

Do you mean games that don't change location? Travelling is certainly something that makes it feel like an adventure to me, but it's just one fictional activity among many that could be part of "adventuring". I think whatever activities the PCs are involved in that constitute the focus and main...

Ah, okay, the flat "nope" made me think you were responding generally, that, "nope", a general you cannot ever say they went on an adventure if they didn't engage in combat, meaning that no one can. But you were saying that you specifically can't ever say you went on an adventure if you didn't...

My point is the one RPG you're familiar with is not a valid basis for making the sweeping generalization that you can never ever ever say an episode of RPGing is an adventure if it doesn't contain combat. I don't think that's even true of D&D in which, as you acknowledged, exploration and social...

I think the plan that was stated was to observe the group social dynamic of the players at the table to identify the least liked person (Insight) which both @Neurotic and @Leatherhead have described their characters doing. I'd imagine it would be the lower ranked cultist still remaining at the...

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...
