Message: <blockquote data-quote="I'm A Banana" data-source="post: 9364296" data-attributes="member: 2067">Millennial adventurers have trained their entire lives to become elite adventurers, but it turns out all the boomers already looted every single dungeon and don't have the self-awareness to understand why looting dungeons doesn't work anymore.Millennial adventurers are saddled with immense debt from their elite training, but only ever get jobs as hirelings to wealthy old boomer adventurers who expect them to do all the work. They're 40 years old now, still hirelings.Boomer adventurers whine about millennial adventurers being getting "participation points" for just showing up to the dungeon, but they invented the participation points and started handing them out.Millennial adventurers are the first adventurers to be doing worse than their parents generation because all the boomer adventurers used their treasure to lobby the local lords to repeal all adventuring taxes and now the towns can't afford even basic road upkeep, let alone all the heavily discounted castles they were tossing out in the salad days.The one tax the boomer adventurers did pay was the tax that kept the town guard in business, but the town guard is entirely made up of homogenous-looking humans whose job is to chase unruly racial minorities off of boomer castle yards, because they know who would pay their taxes.The boomer adventurers knew about the ancient red dragon biding its time in the distant volcano, but did nothing about it,  because it was kind of a hassle. After a generation or two it has aged into a great wyrm and is now burning the countryside. The boomers are too busy going on luxury cruises to worry about it, though. Millennial adventurers are doing their best to keep it in check, but local lords paid for by boomer adventurer money keep stopping the sensible policies that would reign it it. In addition to the looming red dragon, millennial adventurers have already confronted the necromancer, eldritch horrors from beyond the cosmos, a fimbulwinter, and at least three lesser dragons.</blockquote>
