"Mama! Können wir mal eine Rollenspielrunde machen in der Welt der Römer? Mit Elfen und Zwergen, aber sonst wie bei den Römern aus dem Museum?"

🤔
Wenn wir die Griechen zu Elfen und die Germanen zu Zwergen umfunktionieren, Midgard-BTTR mit umbenannten Charakterklassen drunterlege, dürfte das funktionieren. Fehlt noch'n Plott...

*geht im Keller nach Asterix und den SPQR-Krimis graben*

Würdet Ihr mit Eurem Kind (8, denkt sich bereits eigene Abenteuer aus) eher Dungeons & Dragons oder Das Schwarze Auge spielen? Habe beides nicht vorliegen, selber früher nur DSA gespielt. Gerne auch ausführliche Kommentare mit Euren Tipps.

Eden: Crude jokes aside, you two really are inseparable, huh?
Liam: Guess so. I’ve just gotten used to having no privacy.
Kait: It was a very boring privacy anyway.
Eden: Heh. Like some feral kitten rummaging your underwear drawer. Figuratively, I hope. I assume there are still lines.
Kait: [puts on a comically wide grin]
Eden: … No.
Kait: They’re very comfy boxers!
Eden: Liam, you need a spray bottle or something.
Liam: All property is transient. Only experience and knowledge are eternal – and even those only when shared with others.
Kait: That’s why the monks kicked him out. Too much even for them.
Liam: Ha-ha.
Eden: At this point, I think that might just be a defense mechanism.

#PennedPossibilities 60. MC POV: What’s more important in a friend: someone who makes you laugh, or someone who’s always there for you?

Liam: What an oddly fitting follow-up.
Kait: It's also complete bullshit, like as if this is supposed to be mutually exclusive.
Liam: I think the idea is a hypothetical one – if you *had* to prioritize one over the other, which would it be.
Kait: Now it's not just bullshit, it's also kinda cruel.
Eden: That is true for most hard decisions, especially those regarding allies.
Liam: Did you deliberately decide against saying "friends"?
Eden: Yes. I … don't consider many people such, you might have deduced by now.
Kait: Yes, let's talk about Eden's bizarre corpo royalty envo and not this stupid question.
Mari: I kinda would like to hear what your answer to this would be, though?
Kait: … which is why I will focus on that now, stop distracting us, Liam, and not everything is about you, Eden.
Liam: [rolling his eyes]
Eden: [grinning into their drink]
Kait: I think important is always being there to make me laugh. No. Shit. That's a cheap cop-out. Eh, fuck it, I have enough comedy for ten, doesn't mean shit if none of you are there when I need an audience, though.
Liam: That is certainly a way of putting it.
Mari: [smiling] No, I think I get it.
Kait: That's because you're really smart. Let's skip to another question, ok?

#PennedPossibilities 57. MC POV: What is the worst emotion a being can feel?

Kait: Boredom. Wait. Is boredom even an emotion?
Eden: I guess?
Liam: You getting bored is usually worse for everyone else.
Kait: Way to belittle my suffering.
Liam: Last time you got bored, it ended with a riot, three buildings on fire, and us leaving the planet under RedLink blaster fire.
Eden: I thought that was pretty normal for you guys.
Mari: It is, unfortunately.
Liam: She gets bored a lot.
Kait: First of all, this riot led to Ascendant eventually improving worker conditions in HabZone 14 …
Mari: … which, admittedly, was the mission goal.
Kait: … secondly, the *last* time I got bored, I restarted your VoidQuest run, because your build was garbage.
Liam: So much for not touching my saves.
Kait: I was doing you a favor there.
Eden: Well. Let’s just hope this doesn’t get boring for you.
Kait: Guess you’ll just have to keep me entertained. [grins wide]
Liam: Eh. This establishment is used to the excitement of Kait being bored.
Mari: This is a very odd sentence. Worse that it makes sense.

#PennedPossibilities 49. MC POV: What is something that you’ve learned as of late?

Kait: You can use a Ghostrider hack to pop the security clamp on a Spacedock.
Eden: Wouldn’t that be … highly illegal?
Kait: The only crime there were their insane docking fees.
Eden: Sure, but … you’d still need to clear the hangar.
Kait: That’s the beautiful part. Ghostrider works on hangar doors too.
Liam: Or, more precisely, the motors driving the valve.
Eden: But … how do you even leave a station without guidance?
Kait: Good old-fashioned experience. [smug grin, slow swirl of her drink]
Eden: You … but – [points at Liam] aren’t you supposed to stop her from doing stunts like this?
Liam: She doesn’t fact-check me, I don’t tell her how to fly. It’s a trust thing. Also, if you think manually slipping out of a Spacedock during full operation is insane, wait until you see her fly in combat.
Kait: Hell yeah!
Eden: You two are deliciously unhinged. Hope you don't mind if I file a ticket to patch that glitch in all Allure Nexus stations.
Kait: Nah, fair’s fair. Just means next time we’ll have to shoot our way out of one of yours.
