    Correction: With the culture comment I mean how the most "exotic" fantasy games get here is being set in Japan and everything else is DnD Europe of Olde.

    An elite army + badass leader = always foiled by the epic arrival of a group to save one of their own. Not just save - but take out the entire army anyway.

    Speaking of armies...

    That one Military General that is an eccentric and "unique" person whose eccentricity is the sole reason he wins so many battles. And even though going out of your way to be a unique, different individual in the military would probably get you kicked out. This guy get's promoted to the highest rank in the whole damn army because he's just too "unique" and unorthodox to let go.

    Also let's not forget the one seven guys who all have robes or other garments that completely covers Themselves. Only to throw it off and reveal that they were covering some badass looking armor or something. Cause ya know... looking badass in public is against RPG law. Unless you're saving the damsel in distress or whathaveyou.
    I should spend some time enlightening you, massacres occur at your beck and call, worlds destroyed, reborn, alight with the screams of the dying.

    Overcome by power and deceit
    My domain!


    Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

    A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor.

    Prepare to die.

    Oh, you're an alcoholic? Yet you are perfectly well-behaved aside from comedic relief? What's that you say? You can snap out a drunken stupor at the drop of a hat for a kick-ass fight scene? Or is it that you were pretending to be drunk to lure the enemy into false security?

    It's because most drunks are played by fifteen-year-old kids who have never actually tasted alcohol in their lives.

    I feel like it defeats the purpose, though. Why get your character drunk if not to give them an excuse to do stupid shit they would never do?

    Oh, wait, that gives me an idea!

    Characters are allowed to act completely inconsistent and out of character and do outrageous things they would never do if they have the excuse of drunkenness.


    Hey guys, if you like my dry, sarcastic wit, y'know what might be a good use of three bucks? Buy my book.

    Not to mention the amount of alcohol is either Teetotaler or Frat Boy. No middle ground here, either.

    An elaboration on this point, that one bad-ass sergeant in the police force who got where he is with partially illegal tactics but is too awesome to fire.

    Everyone wants to be the cowboy cop, no one wants to be the bookish guy that keeps him in check and gradually learns to loosen up

    Female adventures/warriors never seem to get their period while traveling, adventuring, or in any situation where a pad would be unreachable, really.

    or how about the fact that they didnt have pads. It was rags they washed out. hence the term "being on the rag"
