So in our next #dungeonsanddragons session, all we have to do is keep the children alive for 12 rounds as venomous snakes with way too much HP use their acid venom to melt our only exit open. And also there's an army outside, and even if we snuck past them there's that Roc that could absolutely spot us. We've just got to keep the kids alive for a minute and 12 seconds.

We are so fucked. At least the kid I want to be emperor is somewhat safe.

Four sessions ago, we collected the evidence and the suspects before the Empress Dowager (emperor is a mommas boy. His mom is the one who gets shit done) and explained the whole plot. However, when my restraints failed the situation began to escalate. Lady Konflict managed to flee, summoning the local legion of the army to murder the other children herself. I beat Consort Lilled to death with the snake painting. A fun time was had by all

The first thread of clues wasn't available for us to pursue until a new player joined who could lie without having an anxiety attack. They and I conducted an undercover investigation which revealed that all the more recent murders were part of a plot between the Lady Konflict and Consort Lilled. We were looking for a necromancer, but Consort Lilled helpfully clarified that for us by attempting to kill us with necromancy. #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #rpg #dnd #xuanhuan

I feel compelled to tell you all about how badly our #dnd campaign is going. Just when we think it can't possibly get worse, it does.

Background info: we are in a setting heavily inspired by Han dynasty China mixed with heian period japan. Our party is an official body of advisors formed to investigate the murders in the imperial harem. Over 50 children were alive before we arrived. 12 remain.

Okay, based on the title, though I suppose you can google if you really want to know more, which #novel should I read next?

Me está resultando curioso una wenovel #Xuanhuan que estoy terminando el peso que le da al karma. No es que sea la primera obra de este género o el xianxia que toca el tema pero creo que es la que más he visto jugar con ello.
* Gente que da su palabra no puede romperla porque para cultivadores que han avanzado mucho en la senda de la iluminación cualquier exceso de karma puede ser desastroso.
* Fantasmas que te ponen condiciones para quedarte con los tesoros de sus tumbas como "tendrás que pasarte 100.000 protegiendo mi mundo" o "pilla a uno de mis descendientes como aprendiz y ayúdale a cultivar hasta X punto".
* Gente lanzando hechizos para localizar a familiares o enemigos porque tienen una relación kármica.
