V teh krajih ima jeklarstvo več kot 400 let zgodovine, ki se na neki način zgosti v temačnem prostoru, polnem velikanskih hidravličnih strojev in trpkega vonja po prekajenem. V njem zdaj vse miruje, v pravem pogonu pa je sosednja proizvodnja. ''Velike in mračne proizvodne hale delujejo na obiskovalca nadrealistično in navdihujoče

Transcripts available at diceexploder.comOne of my favorite parts about these episodes where I'm highlighting a single moment from an actual play is how many practical lessons I can bring back to my own table by going beat by beat through a significant moment in play. And today, Maia Wilson has brought a particularly significant moment from her show Maia's Game Room in which one character, in desperate straights, is pressured by an NPC to pay for his help with sex.It's an intense moment
