That is A Thing. In literature, it's called catharsis, thanks to those ancient Greeks. It's a healthy thing to do, so power to anyone who derives a benefit from it.

I know exactly how you feel! My prolific solo RPG output earlier this year corresponded to a period of great stress. The more stressful things became, the more I found an outlet in solo RPGs. When I'd had a tough day, I'd put my characters through hell, and through their resilience, I'd find a little resilience of my own.

I've been finding that this creative outlet (of writing and drawing in my RPGs and games) has been a wonderful stress reliever over the last few months. My job is not remotely creative, but I have found something incredibly freeing and enjoyable in trying to express myself creatively in gaming. It's been pretty amazing for me đ

Two of us is hardly a quorum; canât help wondering if those thumbs are âreadâ, âapprovingâ, or âinterested but quietâ. It seems these listings stay in place for a while, so hereâs hoping for more active interest!

The magistrate inspected their documents and told them to wait until an emissary was sent for them. Shortly after, a delegation from the Red Dragon Lodge escorted them ashore and led them directly to the Lodge itself. In the Hall, Boswell Peddywinkleâthe head of the Lodgeâwas waiting for them. He invited them to dinner and had it served directly in the Hall.
While discussing business, the group made it clear that they were primarily interested in money, and thusâbeyond regular tradingâthey were willing to offer other kinds of services. Boswell advised them that, should they need alternative kinds of âbusiness,â they should also visit the tavern called The Cutlass. He greatly enjoyed the wine and paid for their entire load of ten casks with gemstones worth 2,650 gold pieces.
In the evening, they took a walk, and Chylnoth tried to locate the place where he had once met his smuggler contact. Chylnoth managed to find the house marked with the Safehouse symbol, where his contact, Emryn Daweâan agent of the Harpersâwas waiting. She told them that the slaversâ contacts were Ragnar and his associate Hazard, who lived at the Seven Sails Inn. They explained to her that the slavers were likely holding Lady Gold and her guests in the dungeons beneath the ruins. Emryn responded that that very morning a caravan had departed from the ruins. To learn more, she said, they would need to make Ragnar and Hazard talk. She also pointed them toward two individuals who could help them and possibly get them out of Luskan: Aruph Thunderfist, found at The Cutlass, and Whisper, found in Rat Alley. Gatsu, Arlan, and Chylnoth decided to visit the brothels in hopes of finding Yvonne, while Ashling, Nara, and Nevyn went to the riverbank to look for a natural pool of water where they could perform a divination ritual to locate where Lady Gold and the other prisoners were being held.
As Ashling, Nara, and Nevyn approached a sewer outlet near the riverbank searching for the pool, they were spotted by a group of thugs rummaging through the muck who attempted to rob them. The group quickly subdued them, and the thugs surrendered. Their leader, a half-orc named Korat, offered information in exchange for his freedom. He explained that caravans carrying prisoners had been seen arriving and departing from one of the buildings in the old ruinsâand that at this very moment, a caravan was camped outside the ruins. They then performed the divination ritual. Ashling saw Hlam inside what appeared to be a closed wagon, with Lady Gold nearby. A second ritual revealed Zorla inside another wagon, with Shyrrhr next to her. They asked Korat about Feudor, Federer's cousin. Korat replied that Feudor had been lurking around the ruins until recently, but he had not seen him for some time. He believed Feudor had joined the Coin Spinners gang, located in Rat Alley inside a desecrated ancient temple of Tymora.
Meanwhile, Gatsu, Arlan, and Chylnoth visited the brothel âWink & Tickle.â Inside, a group of half-drunk patrons were harassing a waitress. Gatsu stepped in to defend her, but the harassers refused to listen, and chaos erupted. The troublemakers were quickly killed, and a priestess was captured. Her name was Notkhade, and Gatsu threw her into the river. They asked Madam Bela whether she had ever seen Yvonne, describing the girl, but she said she had never seen her at the slave market and did not believe she was in a brothel. Yvette then explained that she herself had been saved by Madam Bela, who had bought her at the slave market. She had been captured with many other girls and held prisoner.

As soon as they docked, one of the sailors leapt onto the pier and fled.

Iâm curious as well â Iâm approaching 40 years in the hobby, and while Iâve often heard about people like this, and people criticizing this kind of behavior, I donât recall ever actually meeting one, and Iâm starting to suspect itâs all a myth. đ
(Terrifying sudden thought: what if Iâm actually one of those people? đą)
