[fun and games] RPG RPG #1

[yhlee]

[This is as IC or OOC as you want to make it, and takes place in a mysterious timeline of its own.]

Remi shows up one day in the common room of the Wasp with a GM handbook and a bunch of character sheets and quickstart guides, wondering if anyone else wants to play Prisons & Pangolins, a hot new RPG that he got an advance copy of. He is really good at min-maxing; he is also prepared to GM although if someone else wants to do it, he's happy to let them have at it.

[I suggest that people start off by describing how their characters come in, what they're wearing, etc. and introduce the game-in-the-game characters they want to play. I'll start with an example.]

"Maybe there's something wrong with the local calendrical environment that's skewing probabilities."

"Only three of us have rolled at all," Sasha points out. "You'd need a much bigger data set to detect any anomalies."

In the meantime, she's glad rangers get two hit dice at first level.

Remi laughs. "Statistics is for the weak," he says, with a half-mocking half-bow in her direction.

"I'm sure you can persuade the printer to make you loaded dice, if you exert yourself," Sasha tells him sweetly.

Remi either ignores or doesn't catch Sasha's tone, and brightens. "That could be a fun exercise," he says. He snags a slate and starts perusing different specs for machine-printing regular polyhedra.

"Certainly possible," Remi says, although if he (as a Nirai) has detected anything grossly amiss with the local calendar, he's keeping the details to himself.
