“M-O-O-N, that spells ‘sword!’”

Unknown Armies is kind of like this. Most magic requires obsession, and you don’t get a lot of well adjusted, friendly, people who also, say, collects all many of coin and money (money is power) but won’t spend any (that’s giving away your power!) There’s a bunch of schools of magic but they’re all built on an obsession and paradox. The book is really well written, too. (At least 2e is. I didn’t spend much time with 3e)

Well, now it is

The lack of dnd-style multiclassing in Pathfinder was something I struggled with at first, but honestly now (especially with the “free archetype” optional rule) it’s one of my favourite underrated things about having switched. It’s not as flashy as the 4 degrees of success or three action system, but it’s a really great system.

ah yes, ROG

Loved seeing them back in the 1990s

The average person has one testicle, so who knows?

Plastic man was/is always the boss

Asking someone to write fantasy without putting their own lived experience into the writing would be counterproductive anyway. Good characters should have a little bit of yourself in them

I know you kid, but rolling without the DM asking you to is a dick move and a faux pas at a table. You really shouldn’t do that. Same thing happened with Critical Role and the “roll for scry” moment. It puts the DM in a position where they might have to confront you, deny you the roll and sour a moment. It puts pressure on them to allow you to do something, which players often abuse - someone spins a tale of doing a quadruple backflip, landing on someone’s head, attacking and bumping the dude into lava, rolls before the DM can say “there is no lava nearby but…” and puts them in a really awkward situation, especially with high rolls.

What an interesting position. So, ultimately, you feel that, if you can’t personally shatter the laws of reality and time, then you don’t have “agency”? I literally cannot even imagine trying to DM for you. I feel so sorry for your past DMs. The story’s either collaborative, or it’s not, and it seems you are just completely unwilling to collaborate within the confines of a given world. You don’t want to play RPGs, you just want to write fanfiction.

Gotta get the pommel engraved with some ancient runes that spell out BMF. 🤌

I’d say it’s an Oath of Devotion, but this being a rogue, it’s Oath of Redemption.

They being the culture. Hence the funny looks!

The original Boblin comic did have the party interrogating him for an hour, but it wasn’t out of suspicion. https://i.imgur.com/KEgaxr0.png
