D66 Things Guards Say When You Pass A Stealth Check (Fantasy)

This is a D66 table which is too long to fit into the alt text. It's 36 different things a Guard might say when you pass a stealth check. Here's a selection, anyway:
“Huh. Guess it must have been the wind.”
“Blimey, the size of the size of the rats ‘round here!”
“I must be tired.”
“Don’t bother. This place makes all sorts of weird noises.”
“You’re hearing things! You ought to lay off the whiskey.”
“Guess it was nothing.”
“I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that.”
“Go on, get out of here!”
“I’m not checking it. You check it.”
“Come on, who’d try to sneak in here?”
“Ugh. I hate this job.”
“Any more noises like that and I’ll be forced to stand up and take a look.”
“I don’t feel like getting shanked in the ribs tonight. Just let it slide.”
“What you mean, ‘strange noise?’ Sounds like a perfectly normal noise to me.”
“My doctor said I’m not supposed to investigate mysterious sounds after 6pm.”
*aimlessly whistles a sea shanty, and dreams of their true purpose: sailing the mighty ocean*
“Ohhh, my aching back! I can barely stand up straight, let alone search for intruders!”
“Geoffrey? Is that you? I’ve told you not to do the hiding thing any more. It’s dangerous.”
“I think someone must have left a window open somewhere.”
to themselves: “Don’t be scared. Shh. There’s no such thing as ghosts.”
“Probably just a harmless drunk. They kip in here sometimes.”
“Hey, your shift’s over! It’s my time to guard. Let me have this, Sylvia.”
reading aloud, weeping: “Dear Erik. I am very sorry, but I must leave you. I’ve found a new lover. He wants to start a family. I can’t wait for your promotion any longer.”
“No, no: my grandfather told me about a time he investigated a nearby disruption. I’m not going to make the same mistake.”

Finally ready to show my game that uses
@mrmotarius.bsky.social MiniAdventures tileset

His pixel art instantly clicked with me. The moment I saw it I knew I had to make a game with this tileset.

Added some more polish to the game (yes, to the floor, too).

Due to overwhelming popular demand I taught myself how to make and edit video!

Here is how I made my procedural pixel art tentacle, keen to hear feedback as this is all very new for me. Cheers :)

Bit of admin, maybe of interest to both people MAKING STUFF (games yes but you've seen the mag (you have seen the mag, right?) we cover a lot of odd stuff from games to LPs to fantasy tea bags) & people who might like to WRITE ABOUT THE STUFF the above people are producing...

So, for the former
