KILL SIX BILLION DEMONS: hell yeah, punch that fuckin fish

What is YISUN?
	Mother
	A lie we tell ourselves to have a purpose
	Bliss
	A paradox with no solution
	Father
	A strong female protagonist
	The weakest thing there is and the smallest crawling thing
	Creator
	Everything in this miserable and hellish existence
	A solution with no paradoxes

KSBD RPG is not so much Dungeon World as it is a heavily modified PbtA.

I still need to play it. I sat in on the playtests but I was at work so I couldn't do much more than catch snippets.

I mean, what you're saying is gonna end up being sorta true/validated in hindsight (in the sense that her decisions will be retroactively justified as non-fatal and likely successful at accomplishing her long-term goals), but, as someone in that situation without the knowledge that you're the protagonist of a story that almost certainly isn't gonna die, just blindly charging into situations without knowing anything is pretty obviously not a smart thing to do. It's excusable with the Mammon thing, because she actually did get help there and she didn't really have any choice but to go there if she wants to accomplish her goal of freeing Zaid, but she didn't even bother asking about the Mottom stuff first, and the fact things ended up okay at all was complete and utter luck. In fact, she literally only ended up surviving because Cio decided to try and save her; at the very least she could have said beforehand "look, I'm going to Mottom whether you like it or not, do you have any ideas less likely to get me killed?", and even if Cio didn't have any ideas (which is likely, since there really weren't many alternative options) she'd at least know beforehand to hang around in case a quick rescue was needed. The drinking game was another good example; there's no way for her to have known that a sorority girl had higher alcohol tolerance than this random demon creature. The Incubus thing was also ill-advised, given that she took his deal before even exploring her other options. I'm not saying she should blindly trust and make friends with others, but it's entirely possible to attempt to work with others to your own benefit while internally remaining skeptical and doubtful towards the people you're interacting with.

I think you're mistakenly interpreting what I'm saying as a criticism of the comic, when it absolutely isn't. The comic owns and Allison's irresponsible behavior makes sense in context*, but that doesn't mean you can't still criticize Allison as a person. I don't want Allison to act differently as a character, because she's more interesting as a flawed character/person, but I can still point out what the flaws in question seem to be. I mean, the author/comic even directly acknowledges that Allison is heavily prone to making terrible decisions.

*Mythology aside, there's some truth to the idea that accomplishing something as extreme as becoming a ruler (from a low initial status) sometimes requires the combination of luck and irresponsible behavior. If the only options you have to accomplish something are ones with low odds, there isn't really any other way.

Allison is being hunted by evil universe-hopping gods (and, by extension, everyone else in the multiverse) with an army of mercenaries hot on her heels, she doesn't know what she's getting into but she also doesn't have time to stop and figure it out if she wants to get anything done before she's enslaved or trepanned. She's been aware of this since Cio's little exposition dump and still doesn't quite grasp how screwed she is if she stops moving to catch her breath (doesn't know about Juggernaut Star, say). Charging headlong into Mottom's palace was a blunder and a product of panic; taking the army she's got and whipping it into something resembling discipline ASAP was just taking command of the situation. I don't think you're criticising the comic, I think you're misunderstanding what is happening in it.

Just a thought but I guess it makes sense that Cio assigned Princess to look after Allison, as Princess is the only one who has a vested interest in not killing Allison until after Allison returns her to Black Devil status. The rest are perfectly happy with sniping her if they think they can get away with it.

I sure hope he doesn't go with that dumbass hairstyle he previewed a little while ago that looked like a Hitler Youth kind of undercut done by a blind man.

The undercut and side cut are the two plagues on modern hairstyles, and I will not rest until dumbasses stop getting them.
