This lil kiwi’s all set to go off adventuring! Ready to solve puzzles and do magic and maybe learn how to correctly hold a sword when you don’t have opposable thumbs or hands or arms. You can do it, little buddy!

This lil friend is also going to be a sticker in my September shop update, dropping at the top of next week!

A thought on #DnD - style #ttrpg where the player characters can be classified as "professional treasure hunters" either deliberately (they go into dungeons in order to seek treasure) or accidentally (they find treasure while they go into the dungeon for other reasons).

The absurd amount of valuables the player character find has ample precedent in European #folklore (click on the link for a few examples), and indeed, the whole concept of treasure hunting has precedent in the "Magical Treasure Hunting" craze of Early Modern Europe.

However, folk tales are almost always "one-shots" - the person who finds the treasure either gets rich and lives heavily ever after, or they feel regret for the rest of their lives because they missed their one big shot at riches.

In contrast, TTRPG usually feature ongoing campaigns, and thus the PCs will usually delve into "dungeons" and similar treasure-laden sites again and again. So the question the GM - and indeed, anyone who does #worldbuilding for such settings - needs to answer is:

"Why would the player characters continue to risk life and limb even after finding riches?"

What are your thoughts on this?

Am starting a new DnD game soon, as a player for a change. Am still building my character, but I know it's gonna be a druid. Talking to the GM

"Can I specify the species for when I wild shape?"
"Sure"
"Cool, my spider form will be Atrax robustus"
"Excellent"
"How does my bite work?"
"Here's some stats"
"Does that take into account the venom?"
"Uh? What spider did you pick?
"Sydney funnel web"
"Ah crap"

Morning Twters!

Sorry I've been so quiet, I've been mostly unplugged from life, and resting at my sister's. Been drinking my lovely (link below - the Coven's Comfort is a wonderful morning brew!) and cooking and generally having a lovely time. Will be sad to leave, but after a panic about the August bank holiday (which is a week earlier than I thought it was!) I'll be headed almost straight to my brother's to house and kitten sit for them for a week!

"I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I'm assuming we don't know about the theory of relativity?"

"Roll for knowledge of theory of relativity."

[nat 1]

DM: "So, I don't know enough about the theory of relativity to explain how your character doesn't know about the theory of relativity."

i've got a headache from laughing. help

Afternoon, Twters!

Great afternoon playing #DnD again, it's a steep learning curve but there's a lot of laughter and a great deal of fun. 🙂

I've spent most of the last 2 days in bed with dreadful #fatigue but I'm hoping tomorrow will be better and I can take the laptop (and myself) back downstairs.

Hope you're all having a smashing end to your weekend! 😘

Afternoon, Twters.

Rotten swollen jaw & gums still sore, but it's no WORSE than when I saw the dentist on Friday so I'm disinclined to return unless the X-Rays are going to show something that they can treat (she suspects infection but there's no evidence other than that swelling). I'll go back on Wed if it's no better, as it will have been a week by then.

In the meantime, paracetamol & salt water rinses.

I did have an awesome first #DnD experience on Sunday, though; it's not all bad!
