    Gonna have to extend the signups until Friday.
    sigh

    I think we only need 8 more people? I think? It's been a busy day. I can't believe it's been a week and this hasn't filled up! We're even missing some regulars like @Spoit I think.

    And @Infidel ? You gotta sign up for a specific spot, baby!

    I knew I forgot to add Farts McKenzie to the playable character list.

    Don't forget about little Squick Squelcherton, either. He takes after both his parents, Philiplop and Smegmarion.

    The knights in the capital are there instead of the front line for reasons that I might as well get into right now.

    Roleplaying doesn't require any skill. It just requires unconditional devotion and a lack of and/or ability to repress shame.

    And the more people around you who are doing it, the less embarrassing it is (and consequently, the easier it is to do).

    Wow. So this is how peer pressure feels from the other side.

  • OminousLozengeOminousLozenge Registered User regular
    Yeah, peer pressure isn't always negative. Psychologically speaking, our wiring as social mammals can be harnessed to accomplish positive results as well.

    It's just usually given negative connotations because one's first exposure to the term "peer pressure" is usually some sort of anti-bullying or anti-drugs program in elementary school.

    I doubt anyone pays as close attention to the detail in the [strike]three[/strike]two Knights of Arcadia game storyline, but if you did you might notice two things.

    1. This takes game has the Acquaintance in it, so it must be after the events of the SE++ game.
    2. During the SE++ game, Underlund was overrun by OSA and his demons. To wit:
    He presents you with the dinner, a meat pie made from game the Acquaintance had acquired. He takes a bite out of an apple, and continues. "The rumors are true: a demon now sits on the Underlund throne. It is very dire I am afraid. Sorry, not a demon, no. The Demon King Osa."

    The Acquaintance frowns and shakes his head. "The Underlund oligarchy sought power and were found wanting. And so goes the story of how a country was slaughtered and damned in a single night. But it's a story we all know, the wheel of fate turns the same now as it always had. Where steel, sword, and war were now is replaced by souls, runes, and rituals." He takes another bite from his apple. "A servant suffers his master's hubris, whether in plains of heather or in planes of Aether."

    So how is this possible?

    Did you notice how there are no aristocratic PCs from the Asphodel guild? Most were replaced by actual demons when they wagered the Underlund countryside for power. They had assumed that wagering their subjects would save them from a horrible fate if they lost The Game, but it simply ensured their own demise. The players were half aristocracy and half subjects who were aware of their masters' treachery. The Game was short, the Asphodel contingent lost.

    Magic creates an illusion that the Underlund countryside is not a hellscape. It also protects the main trade routes to the capital and the capital itself from outright demonic incursion.

    But now the surviving aristocracy has entered into a new contract, double or nothing, wagering the capital and all its riches against the Underlund countryside.

    The Acquaintance is interfering somehow and, from his own sick humor, has manipulated the magic at work to ensure that no person responsible for creating the pact is actually playing The Game. They still suffer the consequences in the event of a loss, but they have no control over the outcome.
