D&D! Episode 6-1: The Difference Between Bandits and Adventurers

Joey and Palla make their way through the dungeon only to find it being destroyed by metal monstrosities.

The rest of the party hassle harmless bandits.

This week's talking point, what do YOU consider to be the difference between bandits and adventurers? (the real answer is there isn't one)

Bandits have just given up and admitted they're robbing the dead. Adventurers haven't yet.

Adventurers are the ones who signed the proper permits and knew the right people before they started murdering things. Bandits are the ones who signed the wrong permits and knew the wrong people. When you set out on a journey from your home for gold and glory it's honestly a coinflip as to which way you could end up.

Piso mojado, dirtbag.
Bandits are usually largely indistinguishable from one another and stick to a relatively humanoid species, whereas adventurers can be all sorts of weird things, like snakes and bulls and rabbits, or rocks, or Palla.

Actually Bandits rob people when they're still alive as well, but as Joey Hoofvsz will one day say, "Robbing the dead is actually the most heroic thing you can do."

Bandits go after merchants and travelers, generally controlling a set territory.

Adventurers, having far less of an attention span, travel the globe, kill anything that looks at them funny, and take everything that isn't nailed down so they can destroy the economy of the kingdom town by town by flooding the market.

Who are the real monsters?

Don't be gnoll-racist, especially in DnD Babies, where skelemans are our friends and gelatinous cubes are not terrifying bosses.

Low morale causes the golems to dance in panic.
Adventurers do inane errands for people they wander across in hope of monetary profit or artifacts.

Bandits just gently caress poo poo up in towns, forests, caves, or tombs in hope of monetary product or artifacts. Note that Adventurers also can do this, but it's almost always with the pretense of helping some person that said they should do so.

In the case a Bandit is working for another person in earnest, the said person is usually hugely influential and/or promises huge amounts of profit.

Long story short a Bandit is an Adventurer with their priorities straight.

No, the quote was actually mine, Wolfshirt in LP13A, his character is a gnoll named Shuckles. LP13A's also really really good.

Yeah but if you kill them and take their stuff, you're robbing the dead. So honestly Adventurers are never NOT robbing the dead!

Speaking of DnD podcasts, the iphone version of the original "Legend of Kod's gold" campaign has dissapeared. Long live the podcast. :smith:

You mean iTunes? Yes, but luckily a while back some enterprising fans pooled their resources and made this complete LPDND archive! Pretty cool, huh?

Well. Except for the long-lost Session One, but I promise you're not missing much, as exclusive as it sounds.

I'm not entirely sure if it's complete.
If anyone has something that isn't there, but should be, just toss it over to me and I can add it.
