Sometimes it's about sending a message.

My only complaint about Pokémon Legends: Z-A so far is that it hasn't arrived yet and I can't play it until tomorrow.

Frogue.

Accidentally bought Pokémon Z-A.

Guess I gotta accidentally play it.

Those are 2 and 3 for me. #1 is How It's Done.

I've been holding this in for a while but I'm ready to say it.

"Golden" is only, like, the fourth best song on the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack.

My best friend and I were just talking about this show yesterday. I was over his house for D&D and he had the DVD on his shelf.

Where does Count Duckula fall in this?

If they make it back there (see my recent post) and solve the puzzle, they will open a door leading to an undercroft of the noble's house where someone is trapped.

Update: A day before the heist of the noble's house with the local thieves guild, my players took it upon themselves to case the joint.

Bard found a secret entrance, druid mouse-shaped inside, failed the puzzle, got sprayed, blew their cover, and only made it out due to bard's distraction outside.

Will my players press the buttons in the correct order or will they take 2d8 poison damage to the face?

A D&D puzzle with five circles containing pictures of animals: from top clockwise - bee, wolf, snake, spider, crow.
The picture has a woodgrain appearance. There is a small black circle in the middle.

That's it 😊

You a hear a click... and the door swings open in front of you!

But what dangers lurk on the other side?

sparcus 🎮 @sparcus87.bsky.social · 1d

One of my players is a science teacher so I'm thinking he'd go the food chain route (asking that was your thought process too), but that's not it!

Take *rolls* 5 damage!

You got this. 🤜🤛

It's such a cute little game. A perfect palette cleanser between some bigger story-focused games
