Talking to my players, we found that retreat doesn’t happen nearly often enough. Now the reasons are varied, but one thing we all sort of agreed on is that new players often don’t realize that it’s even an option.
Thus, this little video. Let me know what you think!
I had a great roleplaying moment when I gave the party the chance to surrender when it looked like they might get TPK’d. This is a criminally underrated option that results in some really flavorful gameplay.
