The rogue, suspicious that the meal may be drugged only eats a small portion of her own rations. Her big blue eyes roll in exasperation, from behind her blackened silver mask, as her comrades mull over the decision of taking the hacking old man and willowy waif of a girl with them, as they continue to try and evade the red army hot on their heels. [sblock=OOC]Hehe did you guys like that last one? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> People forget that all of D&D takes place roughly in the dark ages. There is no running water or toilets (or toilet paper) no showers or even schools. No such thing as premade armor or clothing except the most basic burlap potato sacks. Bigotry, racism and blind hatred run rampant, and just being a stranger is usually enough for a group of townsfolk to try and kill someone. All food but the most expensive is rotting or infested with vermin to one degree or another, and the average life expectancy is around 30 years for humans.So I think having at least one character with an unenlightened, working class view of the gaming world adds a depth that many players aren't even aware is missing from most games. It gets even better when two characters share that view and can get a good back and forth of paranoid racist conspiracy going. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
