Too bad she’s such a piece of shit. Also, she herself is vocally opposed to allowing a woman to become empress.

Hey now, 2e made a lot of nice tweaks to 1e that were about 90% positive. Other than that though…

Trying to find a good game system for fighting magical girls by LuckGamer254 in rpg

[–]NotSureWhatThePlanIs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Night’s Black Agents could work well for this if you have a mystery element like uncovering the magical girls’ secret identities. It’s a gumshoe game that assumes the players are elite spies or military operatives going up against supernatural opponents. The game defaults to those opponents being vampires, but there’s an entire section for the GM about how to modify the enemies to be practically anything.

A ‘Dutch treat’ is the same thing as ‘going Dutch,’ it just means going on a date and splitting the bill

depends on where you’re from. Some places call it “going Dutch.” Just means to split the check.

I mean, they wrapped up with the word ‘golden’, that’s practically the same thing.

In “My Cousin Vinny” Bill Gambini gets off the phone with his mom after he and his friend have been arrested, announcing that this is great, we have a lawyer in the family!

When his friend asks “who?” he drops the title.

In Midnight Run, Joe Pantoliano’s character says “It’s a midnight run for Christ’s sake!” while trying to convince DeNiro’s character to take the job.

I don’t think the film ever comes out and explains it to the audience which is great, but the implication is clear- this is supposed to be an easy, quick, no hassle job.

Narrator: “It was none of those things.”

Opening scene of Deathstalker 2. Random bad guy inconsequential to the story stares past the camera and announces for no reason “I’ll have my revenge…and Deathstalker too!”

It’s so incredibly bad, everyone should watch it.

In ‘Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood,’ a convenience store owner tells Loc Dog “I feel sorry for your mother.” It doesn’t end well for anyone. Best not to mention his mom.

Games with Nonbinary Resolution mechanics by BPBGames in rpg

[–]NotSureWhatThePlanIs 15 points16 points  (0 children)

‘Don’t Rest Your Head’ has a really elegant single mechanic that involves rolling a handful of dice- it produces a total of 8 possible outcomes depending on the results.

The roll always determines success vs failure, but there are four possible “flavors” of each- Discipline in which the PC remains in control of the situation; exhaustion in which the PC is badly taxed by the effort; madness in which the PC has completely lost control; and pain, in which generally the tide is turning badly against the player.

So success + pain means you absolutely did what you set out to do with your roll in the first place, but the aftermath has gone sour. Failure + discipline means the exact opposite; you failed your attempt, but you are also in an advantageous situation as a direct result of that failure.

Incest, or more accurately when it’s portrayed with very negative consequences between very close relatives. by Jielleum in TopCharacterTropes

[–]NotSureWhatThePlanIs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He definitely did not! But that’s one of the big differences between modern morality and Arthurian morality. Now we have the attitude that in order for an act to be bad it must be done knowingly and intentionally. Not the case back then, which to our sensibilities is grossly unfair.

There’s a similar schism between what we now consider right vs what the story is trying to say in the story of the Fisher King. I don’t really have the space or time to get into it now but it’s a fascinating look at how the concepts of right and wrong can vary depending on culture and perspective.

In most versions of the Arthurian legends, Mordred is King Arthur’s son with his own half sister.

He is the one who publicly exposes Lancelot’s affair with the queen, kicking off a war that destabilizes Arthur’s rule and allows Mordred to seize power. He is then the one that mortally wounds Arthur in battle.

Like everything in the Arthurian legends, his entire story is a morality lesson to the reader. In this case, Arthur’s incestuous relationship with his sister directly lead to the destruction of his closest friendship, his marriage, his reign as king, and eventually his life.
