The standard

RPG hooks:

> Orcs and taverns

f you've ever wanted to get into tabletop

role-playing games (RPGs), then you
better get your hook right. What are
RPG hooks? They are basic story lines,
used in times when you need a jumping
off point or inspiration to begin for the
game. A situation is laid out, and you
run with it however you'd like. These are
meant to inspire ideas and are in no way
locked-in details. To give you some ideas
to for your next campaign, I'll help by
providing you with some basic hooks in
this new column. Here’s a fun standard:

You and your companions sit at
the table at the local tavern. What once
was a bustling city bursting with coin
and opportunity has now dwindled to
a drawl flophouse. While others have
grown content in getting fat on meat
and wine, many have not. Adventurers
and mercenaries seeking coin have
since left the city, leaving an eerie,
quiet feeling amongst the streets.

This is the topic of discussion
amongst the tavern dwellers, including
you and your companions as you
take your morning meal. Halfway
through, the sound of the castle bell
tolls through the city. You count the
rings. One. Two. Three... an attack!

The denizens of the tavern react
ina variety of ways. Some are quick
to panic, while others make for their
arms with haste. You are part of the
group that chooses the later. You and

 

your companions arm yourselves and
make your way out into the city.

Guards and soldiers rush through
the streets, all moving towards—or away
from—the Western Wall. Swept up in
the rush of the remaining mercenaries
pouring out into the streets, you and
your companions find yourselves by

April Fool's Day Prank

f you happened to desire a little

“adult entertainment” this past
April Fool’s Day, you might have
gotten the shock of your life.

Known for their off-the-wall

brand of humour and philanthropy—
remember the “whack off for whales”
stunt?— Canada’s own Pornhub decided
to treat its vast number of viewers to a
little fun and

quote of the message was “No need

to manually share your video to your
friends and family ever again because
this new revolutionary sharing feature
does it for you! Automatically!”

Now, of course this was all a prank,
as any user that clicked the button to
reverse this “feature” was informed.
But the damage was done; boners were
killed, and previously moist panties
became dryer than a desert at high
noon. That’s a very unfortunate thing,
but definitely worth the laugh—or

that they had linked their PornHub
account to their social media accounts,
and that any and all videos that they
watched would be automatically shared
via social media . In fact, the direct

beats out last year’s prank, when they
became CornHub. You can probably
guess what that prank entailed—yep,
endless videos of corn on the cob. Just
what everyone wants when they're
enjoying some “private time.”

the Western Gate before you know
it. While the gate is closed, the
devastation is obvious. Bodies litter the
area. A token observation notes both
humans and orcs among the bodies.

An orcish attack is not uncommon.
Many orcish tribes roam the area around
the city. But as the gates to the city

open, you spot the cause behind the
panic—Hill giants! A whole tribe of them,
wreaking havoc with the orcs. Giants

and orcs are both selfish creatures, so

the two working together is unheard

of. There is some greater power here.

But there is little time to think on this.
The gate opens and the charge begins.
