[Fun and Games] RPG RPG #2

[zuhrovet]

Ankat gathers all of the Prisons & Pangolins players, and any interested observers, to begin the first game session.

"Each of you has chosen to leave the city, in search of treasure, renown, or a moderately impressive death. You have made your way to a small, dull village at the edge of a big, scary wilderness. You find yourself at a big communal table in a dirty inn. The sign outside was the White Rat. That's definitely auspicious. Tell us who your character is, what they look like, and how they react to the other travelers!"

[A note on mechanics: Sasha and Remi are naturally inclined to bicker about the rules of Prisons & Pangolins. This does not mean that you, as a meta-player, need to know what the rules are. In fact, it doesn't even mean that rules exist! This process is still free-form and consensus-driven, and dice only matter inasmuch as some of us like writing descriptions of very pretty imaginary dice.

You are welcome, of course, to have your character wander by and observe without making a character for them.
If you want to introduce a sudden Zehun or something instead, by all means, go for it: we're not being precise about time or continuity.]

Ankat raises his eyebrows. "There is a penalty for changing alignment, yes. To begin with, you lose access to your prior alignment language, and are incoherent in the new one."

ahahahaha I'm just waiting for Ankat to kill Remi via cat

Remi looks grim. "I'll--I mean, my friend will keep that in mind before doing anything rash. Do you give warnings, or is it zero-tolerance mode?"

we might have to race for first alignment shift

"It depends on the egregiousness of the offense. In borderline cases, you can regain my goodwill by doing pushups. We could all stand to be in better shape."

"Fuck you," Sasha says, cheerfully.

"You can modify them," Ankat tells her.

"No, seriously, fuck you. Anyway, my character is neutral good and staying that way."

Remi narrows his eyes at Ankat. "You're not...former military by any chance, are you? Because I--I mean, my friend probably doesn't want to break their fingernails." He looks like he's doing some very serious calculation.

"I am current security forces," Ankat says, in a tone that does not invite further discussion.

Sasha adds, "There are always knuckle pushups! Though if your friend is the moth, they don't have nails, or knuckles."
