Creation Corner: Flavoring Up Thieves’ Cant
Creation Corner: It's so easy to let game mechanics feel, well, mechanical. But they don't have to be! D&D and other RPGs draw from rich sources, and if we know a little more about them, we can find ways to use the extra detail to enrich our games.
In this episode, we consider the 5e Rogue class feature of thieves' cant, and its shadowy origins as revealed through English literature from the 15 and 1600s. We'll look at how it was used, other specialized speech and writing designed to allow direct communication with others while in public, and then consider some ways to use these facets to drive rewarding roleplay at the table.
Here are links to the references and resources Rhett used in today's episode, in case you'd like to do some digging on your own:
