Episode 2498: A Labyrinthine Plot

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

Good characters (and their players) should feel the lure of temptation sometimes. There's litle point declaring yourself morally "good" if you don't face some challenges to that stance. Moral dilemmas are good fodder for stories and adventures - there are plenty of examples in fiction and real life to draw from. Just look up a list of moral dilemmas, pick one, and adapt an encounter or background event around it.

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

Ohhh, I think I know what Pete's campaign was now. And how it was twisted from the usual way we'd see it. Pete really should have seen this coming.

And wow. I don't think I've been quite set up for a multi-layer joke that got me like that in a long while. This is just as bad a pun as finally understanding the joke of how Twoflower described earning money in The Colour of Magic. And that was completely in my native language!

Transcript

GM: Jim and Annie should be here soon, I think.
Rose: So Pete, you’re not seriously considering joining Kylo Ren?
Rey: That’s a bit rich coming from the elven advisor who convinced Jim’s guard captain to go behind the back of your superior and approach the evil priest to propose an alliance.
Rose: You gave us a situation and wanted us to take control and become powerful.
Rey: You got in cahoots with the evil high priest!
Rey: You were playing the Hand of Evil. Running the place like some sort of... dungeon keeper!
Rey: You were paying goblins and kobolds to defeat adventurers who tried to clear out the caves!
Rey: You recruited a minotaur!
Kylo Ren: Yeah, that was amazing!
Rose: Theseust decision I’ve ever made.
Kylo Ren: Maybe it was a bit too Pasiphaë-gressive for Pete.
