Welcome to the Sly Flourish Patreon Questions and Answers thread for July 2024!

Ask your monthly RPG-related question in the comments below!

Every Friday morning I answer every question on this post. Some questions make it to the Lazy RPG Talk Show or fuel an RPG Tip video or Sly Flourish article. Don't be upset if your question doesn't make it to the show – only a handful do.

As you consider your question for the month, please

Thank you so much for helping me do what I do.

Now bring on the questions!!

Bernie here: How do you handle social interactions in your games? Do you use the DMG's rules for them? I have some of your books (Return, workbook, FoF) and I was trying to recall if there is social interaction stuff tips somewhere there. I mostly handle social encounters using 10/15/20 DC rolls, but I was wondering what is your approach in cases of big situations (example, trying to convince a King to sign a treaty with an enemy nation). I know it's a bit extreme of an example, But I wonder how do you handle this kind of stuff

Hello Mr. Shea. I have searched through your database and have found some tips on finding an illustrator, but I am wondering what kind of contract I should use for hiring an illustrator and other contributors for my own 3rd party content? Also, do you just let the illustrator name the price or do you make an offer? Are they typically paid a set fee or do they get a percentage of the sale of the product? If they get a percentage, what is the typical amount? Do you have a publisher you would recommend? I think your books are of a high quality, especially Forge of Foes, but I can't find the publisher. All I see is "Published in Canada" As you can see, I have a lot of questions, but I'm not sure where to turn for answers. Thank you for any help you can give me. I'm looking forward to City of Arches.

Hi Mike, Next month I'm off on holiday to Switzerland to eat cheese and climb mountains. Now, the cost of living in Switzerland is fairly high, so when I get back I will only have funds for one TTRPG treat. My question is this; if it were you, right now, full of Raclette and Fendat Vétroz les Terrasses but empty of pocket, which would you buy: 1) PHB 2024 2) Shadowdark RPG

Shadowdark. It's a complete system in one book with a ton of fun you can do. But it's not great if you're looking for a crunchier more heroic – dare I say *superheroic* – fantasy RPG. In that case, the 2024 D&D book is probably better for that crunchier play. But I love me some Shadowdark if people don't mind dying easily.

That's it for this months Q&A! The new thread will be up in an hour!

What is your experience and take on Proactive Role-playing? The Gamemasters Handbook has an amazing book about this that really seems online with Solo RPG... That can be amazing for groups too.
