This last sentence proves: Its a fantasy world! I mean, not everybody is a patron…
I’m hoping the Princess sticks around. She’s one of my favorite characters in this, and this new character development only helps that.
My favorite is Roxy. The way she ended her first adventure and immediately turned Rusty and Mimic over to Robespierre just tickled me immensely. =)
I’m a Mimic man myself. He just gets the good lines. I’m also fond of the whole Doogan clan.
Stabs is an adventurer. Looting defeated foes is an obligation.
I mean, to be fair, you wouldn’t want to be one of those shmucks responsible for a bad guy (or girl) getting into jail without being searched, leading them to break out immediately and wreck the castle, would you? Stabs is just doing the prison’s work, on a mercenary basis, proactively and without asking permission or telling them what she finds.
Laudable, really.
It’s DnD; we aren’t committing a home invasion and murdering the inhabitants, it’s a dungeon!
D&D morality: Killing Evil people is Good. Killing Good people is Evil. Nice and symmetric.
And then there are . . . The Neutrals.
Ya just don’t know where you stand with them.
Of course you know where you stand…out of reach.

“Excuse me… Rogue…
“This *IS* my job!”
Just try hiring an adventuring party “for exposure” and see how well that works out for you
You’ll likely end up stark naked in a sweltering desert or a tundra. How’s that for “exposure”?
Don’t be silly. Used undergarments are too much trouble to dispose of. The only people who will buy them are the sorts of people who get irrationally upset that the people whose used undergarments they’re willing to buy have been left stark naked in a hostile wilderness.
You know, it’s still not clear how Tarta thought that changing the genre would help her win. In any case, it didn’t work. She didn’t win.
Really, she would probably have been better off staying in noir. The dame who betrays the detective isn’t invincible, but she’s pretty influential. By abandoning the ongoing storyline, she forsook her progress and had to start over from square one.
The best explanation I can think of is that she was about to lose, so she had to do something drastic to try to get the upper hand again. It didn’t work in the end, but she got further than she would have if she didn’t do it. She might have even escaped if Mimic didn’t come up with that plan.
Changing the genre helped Mimic win. There’s no reason it couldn’t have worked for Tarta.
You know, if The Princess had been a fey instead of a human, rather than Ruff E. Nuff, her alter ego could have been Fairy Nuff.
Boooooo. Boo I say.
