World Anvil’s World Building Summer Camp event ends next week. Since I didn’t start it until a couple weeks into July, I knew I wouldn’t have time to write entries for all the prompts, but I thought maybe I would be able to do 10 (which would get me a badge for my WA profile)….
So I included some throwaway (and mostly completely made-up-on-the-spot) references to the City of 10,000 Daggers (mostly its history) in the Dumb Tables at the end of Tales from the Lusty Minotaur, some of which I do plan to write up details about at some point.

It’s a Dumb Table kind of week. I might convert this to a script at some point, but for the time being I’m going to do it the old-fashioned way. Just follow along and roll on each table to generate your plot. Figuring out what the elements mean is your problem. Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr…
In every con game, there’s at least one guy who wants to play the badass action hero who spouts one-liners and plays by his own rules. Sometimes there’s more than one. At some point, we were talking about this and decided we should run a game where everyone was the badass action hero who spouts…
