I think initially as I watched the film, I knew that something evil was in there. That sort of excused the fact that there was a thrill in going into a place of unknown dangers to get some loot. The thieves seemed pretty scum-like until one of them inside the house realizes that there are prisoners in there that he wants to help escape because it's the right thing to do. <br /><br />So to answer Trey, yes and no. Because "adventuring" I don't see as necessarily having the intent to do good (although it often is in our games). My own players are almost always in it just for the money. But considering they're not evil, there's also a sort of visceral thrill in entering an unknown place in search of treasure, be it a house (and I'm certainly not condoning burglary here!) or a dungeon. In the case of a dungeon, there's the potential for an even more unexpected danger and evil there.ze bulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603716850479808633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326833531919898477.post-5308316200056175832010-05-22T07:31:19.769-07:002010-05-22T07:31:19.769-07:00I think the wallets are a great detail.

We give monster lairs treasure-- but hints at where it came from, torn clothes, a moldy pile of coinpurses, would make the whole thing more ominous and make dispatching said monster feel justified.

Sounds good.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.com
