One with riddles waiting for you to decipher them, treasures to be unearthed, and gemstones to be claimed. What we are talking about is a legitimate treasure hunt that has been ongoing for nearly 40 years across North America. We’re also not here to talk about actual criminals and crimes. I honestly don’t know why any of you read what I write here for NoE.

Plus, there is the statute of limitations, the lack of hard evidence (I ate it), and only my testimony to go on – and I’m not all that reliable or trustworthy. I mean, I lifted a kiwi once from a local grocery store when I was seven, but we’re not gathering today to talk about that. Most of us don’t get the chance to do any of those things in real life, though. Picking the lock on a chest, coming by an honest-to-goodness treasure map (complete with an X on the spot and everything!), or just, you know, stealing. But we can come by treasures other ways, too. One of my favorite parts of any RPG is the looting…which usually involves dead bodies – a product of my other favorite parts of any RPG: combat.
