Me, sitting here seeing someone in the party attempting an insight check after having 1-on-1 conversations with half the town:

Joe Biden Yes GIF by The Democrats


Its funny cause usually players do WAY TOO MANY insight checks

Dude still has to go see Barthen for that money and maybe gotta drag T'anks to the Smithy to get her something better than the bow she's not been doing much with.

;)

Plus it's a Smithy. Must go to Smithy.

There's so many unexplored buildings.

And Dragmire has his info too before he passed out in the street.

For the encore, Dude has an amazing idea!

He performs a rousing Bardcore rendition of Never Gonna Give You Up.

The crowd, despite having no way of knowing who or what Rick Astley even is, descends into madness and begin beating Dude to death.

Using only wooden spoons and semi-hard, day-old bread.

It is a slow, agonizing and yet somehow still almost delicious death for our once proud Tortle!

Maybe the bard can improve on this hastily written ballad


We're no strangers to blood
You know the rules and so do I (do I)
A full contingent’s who we’re taking on
You wouldn't defeat, any of our guys

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand

Always have our weapons up
Never have our spirits down
Always gonna run around and chase you
Now we’re gonna make you cry
You’re gonna want to say goodbye
This is not a lie, we’ll hurt you

We've heard of Red Bands, for so long
Phandalin’s been aching, but you're they’re shy to say it (say it)
We all know- what's been going on (going on)
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Always have our weapons up
Never have our spirits down
Always gonna run around and chase you
Now we're gonna make you cry
You're gonna want to say goodbye
This is not a lie, we'll hurt you

Always have our weapons up
Never have our spirits down
Always gonna run around and chase you
Now we're gonna make you cry
You're gonna want to say goodbye
This is not a lie, we'll hurt you

I noticed Jump has been online since the updates but hasn't said anything... I know he's said he's not a big RPer, more about combat and stuff. So there's a chance he's just waiting I think, maybe?

...so, should we wait for confirmation or do we think I should make my post?

Thankfully T'anks doesn't appear to believe in or worship any gods.

Unfortunately she has mentioned, in passing whilst inebriated, that she's open to eating Klarg's remains.

I caught myself!

One thing I feel like I'm very much not good at (at least compared to DMs I watch for entertainment) when DMing at a table is setting the tone and flavor of what's going on. Setting the scene and whatnot.

I'm MUCH more comfortable with that stuff when I'm able to write it all out, so that has been a very pleasant change for me in this format.

I call this the Zero Escape effect.

DS version is best. Suck it, haters!


I think it takes an immense amount of pre-planning to properly convey in spoken words what kind of environment and tone a place has. Being able to do it on the fly would be quite difficult - especially when also interacting with a group of people cutting in every couple of words/sentences. 🤔
