There's a genie in Baldur's Gate II who has a Deck of Many Things, and you can choose to challenge him to a draw-off instead of fighting him. Whoever draws the highest card and survives wins the pot. It seems like a good way to settle bets and beefs for epic and near-epic characters.

It was probably something like a chaotic wizard running a magic shop running a special "free deck of cards with every purchase"

Maybe Decks of Many Things are like the magical equivalent of radioactive waste, they're created as a side effect of the spell you actually want to cast and you know if you keep it lying around your tower then some rear end in a top hat will end up drawing a bunch by accident, so the best thing to do is just make sure it's a long way away when an adventurer inevitably comes across it.

IIRC they're artifacts so some rear end in a top hat god leaves them lying around as jokes at adventurers' expense.

Random Stranger posted:See, there's something cool to be had in the idea of a magical superweapon more likely to drat you than save you. What's it mean to have something like that or to use it? There's a story to be told about someone smuggling ten pounds of raw chaos into fantasy city and nobody knows what is going to happen. But it would require someone with more talent than the Goblins guy to tell these stories since he can't engage with the concepts on anything more than the most superficial level. That sounds like the plot of a couple China Mieville Bas-Lag novels

There's people who are the stereotypical Tumblr everything is politically correct all the time who get so confused when you tell them gyp is a derivative of gypsy and thus racist it's just not ready a thing over here. I don't know when exactly I learned it but it cast a different light on the tour guide for my high school trip that did nothing but complain about the gypsy's in Paris.

What is Yurkon referring to in panel 9? Just the general trope of dead father figures? Because for all the dunking on OotS for overusing dad tropes, it only actually features two plot-relevant dead fathers. And I guess a handful of father figures that were either really minor or really figurative.

Well yeah, there's loads of poo poo dads, but only two dead dads (three, with Durkon), unless you wanna count duders like Shojo or Horace Greenhilt or Penultimate Redcloak.
