I’m impressing myself. So far so good that since starting a day late that I’m keeping up with the daily schedule of contributing to a hashtag.

Let’s do this thing…

The temptation to roll a d4 and randomly choose from the list was strong on this one.

But I’m going to stick it out and go with throne.

What comes to mind when I read the word throne? Power, royalty, politics, back stabbing, arranged marriages, wealth, court, subjects.

But it’s the fact the throne represents power that resonates the most with me.

No matter which system you play having your party being beholden to a powerful person is a great plot device to have.

How they come beholden can add to the backstory and give the party extra starting equipment, a base, maybe a vehicle of some sort. Or that powerful figure could be an adversary/nemesis.

Also during the campaign that powerful figure could be the driving force, reason the party undertake a quest. Maybe they have been asked to retrieve some valuable artifact as a way to repay their debt.

I know a loose interpretation of the theme, but at least I didn’t go the toilet route.
