Today I learned the word Picaresque!

adjective: picaresque

relating to an episodic style of fiction dealing with the adventures of a rough and dishonest but appealing hero.

//

The context was “If you run multiple sessions do it picaresquely, where each session is a self-contained episode.”, talking about running a TTRPG campaign for young children.

If I was not in to Tabletop RPGs I do not think I would ever have an excuse to use this word. That said, I am and I run them for my kids semi-regularly so I will for sure be using this word whenever anybody asks me about my hobbies from now on.
