Geocities Homepage King posted:BeingaGM.txt i will say it is tremendous fun to just roll with whatever stupid poo poo your players do. our group seems to have an unwritten rule that every session must end with the entire party and any NPCs in the vicinity getting drunk. which is, when you think about it, pretty in keeping with the setting.

I've never run a PBTA system before (just D&D 3.5E + 4E), but I fell in love with it while listening to The Adventure Zone season 2 and reading the Dungeon World rules. My plan is to come up with a list of factions, people, places, a few hooks, and see where it goes. Although I'll probably set it outside of the Red City in a more rural-ish area to keep it manageable before setting them loose there. Not sure if it'll be another world or a more backwater place in Throne, but I intend for them to be guided to the city eventually.

Assuming they didn't all already read the comic.

Isn't it explicitly stated that humans were the only true mortals? Vash may be around for a long, long time. e. Found it. Bottom of the page. "Humanity. Aesma's mistake, and the only true mortals."

Angles don't have the emotions. All this ideological civil war is based purely on differences of the logicals not any kind of strongly held emotionals. I'm very rational and intelligent. Criticism me not or I will react with violence which is a common passtime among us beings of the purest logic.

Vash is a goblin; and this tower isn't a jail. He's just going to sit in a cell for a few days before his trial. Then he may go to jail, or be released, or whatever. It's no longer our dynamic duo's business unless they decide to round out their brand of two-fisted street justice with some attorney-at-lawyering.

In throne that conflict would have ended with Socrates neatly de-gloving all comers via the Ante-Fist Principles of the Ungleamed House or something like that. That comparison has cemented Autie Maya as Throne-Diogenes in my mind, I am okay with this. Edit: oh gently caress I just remembered Maya's teacher NM.

Zeno strolls into the center of throne and declares that no man can truly be punched in the face, and attempts to prove this with maths. Several local toughs debate the logic of his paradox before settling by suplexing him through a table, bypassing it entirely
