  • Interpretation: “Pursued by government assassins” is referencing your desire to be socially accepted

    “I proclaimed that I wasn’t afraid” is referencing the anxiety you feel day to day about being accepted into a community.

    “The people I was with” is referring to all your internal struggles and thoughts pushing you to just go out and accept those around you. There is no fear and you will be accepted for who you are.

    “Guys in suits” section is about your anxiety taking over and murdering any good thoughts about reaching out to others and forming long lasting relationships that are mutually beneficial to the survival of human kind.

    “I watched in horror” is you not fighting back but allowing your anxiety to control you as hope dies in front of you.

    “Right then my partner”… wait a second, this is Lemmy. Stop bullshitting me. i

    Our group views TTRPGs as a way to experience a story or world. I know some people like to minmax or love rules and that’s great. But for us, while all worlds have rules, if the rules don’t lend themselves toward fun or progressing the story in a manner that makes sense, then I either adjust, change or don’t enforce them. I also will mix and match rules from different systems that I’ve enjoyed.

    As for what rules, you already mentioned a few. We also utilize potions as a bonus action, but I don’t limit them. I do this because they like boss fights that include big hits and having the capability to heal helps ensure I’m not unfair during a fight.

    We also utilize a karma system. I give out karma during sessions for excellent role play, ingenuity, making everyone laugh and for birthdays etc. They can then use this karma to buy certain enhancements from a genie prior to encounters. Enhancements include different things such as adding +1 to a die roll, rerolling, rolling with advantage, or even a long rest (super expensive). This has helped keep people engaged and gives some combat helpers that minimizes the impact when they are on a negative rolling streak.
