    In Stars &amp;amp; Wishes, my players had asked for an action-adventure session. Come the actual session: they ran away from threat #1, then choose the safest option from a range of options, then avoided threat #2. At each stage, they choose the most boring option! Fortunately, thanks to the dice, things then went spectacularly wrong, and we had accidents, attacks, injuries, and failures galore. #TTRPG

    I was downtown and decided I wanted to go to a florist. The storefront for the first one that Apple Maps sent me to was long gone; apparently now they only do deliveries. The second one was actually just someone&amp;#39;s house. Again, apparently they only do deliveries. The third one was a storage bay in an industrial park. Guess they only do deliveries.
