[arg_discuss] Topic of the Week Aug. 3: Show and Tell

[Andres M. Quijano]

In The Lost Ring some players picked up a codex (a document) in a library.

One of the players, explaining to the store owner the weirdness of the
situation, proved her that he wasn't doing anything illegal by showing
her the document, which was in esperanto. The store owner, out of the
blue, told him that near the shop there is the local Esperanto
Society.

This wasn't scripted at all, but the players freaked out and started
to investigate that Esperanto Society. We actually did included the
society in the story somehow, but the best part was that we hid one of
the rings (the lost ring!) inside the Esperanto Society!

The players came up with a plan that they were a rock band and they
wanted to make a song in Esperanto, so they contacted the society and
asked for an esperanto lesson, and when we went there (I joined the
players), we almost literally stole the ring

You can see the video that we made with english subtitles here:
