d&d meme stealth is optional animated

Attack of the D&D / RPG Memes V!

Just when you thought it was safe to look at the Internet again, another Attack cometh! Enjoy, or maybe take aspirin. Whatever seems appropriate at the time.

You know there are four other Attacks, right? First, Second, Third, and Fourth! No mortal has read all five in one day and survived! Ok, well a couple of people have. Wait, alright, everyone who has ever tried has. But I bet someone got eyestrain! Like, really annoying eyestrain.

And with no further ado…

Let’s Play Serpent in the Staglands #37

This episode: Lebez finishes as we rough up some ruffians and meet a very… interesting wheelwright. Then it’s on to Orf’s Bridge Consil and we collect a bounty.

Join Shane as he plays through a hardcore computer RPG that has the mechanics and style of a 90s CRPG, and that’s just dripping with beautiful atmosphere!

Thanks for watching!

About Serpent in the Staglands:

A true role-playing adventure.

A campaign within the world of Vol, a fully realized setting inspired by the late bronze age in a Transylvanian landscape, with unique politics, races and gods steeped in history. Featuring a chosen party of five, you role-play Necholai, a minor god of a celestial body who descends to the Staglands for a moonlit festival only to find the way home blocked and immortality slipping away. Seeking answers and aid, you take on a mortal body and the guise of a traveling Spicer. This isn’t a story of good and evil, saving the world or being a hero, it’s about intrigue and your adventure of survival in a harsh land.
