[QUOTE="kenada, post: 8449938, member: 70468"] Had an interesting conversation with a couple of my players after this week’s board-gaming session. They mentioned being a bit apprehensive about the town ruins “dungeon” we just wrapped up because they thought it was going to have a ton of political stuff, and they just wanted to kill some monsters.
