Not A Write Up: 7 December 14 9am: Craft d20: So Sue Me

  • GM: Michael Seidman
  • Neal Tanner
  • Joshua Kronengold: Tia
  • Me: Ran
  • Gregory Dowing: B -- that's all I can read in my notes.
  • There were two other women whose names I didn't catch, and I've no idea who they played.

I'm not sure d20 is the best system for Craft, but I do like the world. It's the world of Max Gladstone's Craft novels, where magic and religion have a strong economics component, and the legal system is utterly intertwined with magic.

In the first of his books, a god has died. The god will be brought back to life. These are the facts that no one disputes. The question is: Who is at fault? Did the god overextend his power, trying to take on too many worshippers with too many needs, or did an outside party commit some kind of mayhem?

I don't recall enough about the game two years ago to do more than give some of the good lines here. The PCs were working for Endec, representing the plaintiff in a different case. The plaintiff, our client, was worms. Possibly sentient or divine -- I think the lack of clarity on this point was the issue. The defendant was the Kell Conglomeration, which had been doing something or other nefarious which we put an end to. The wrap up involved splitting a god into two so that worms got a rock-like being, while dryads got something more like Lego. Josh may or may not remember more.

Such quotes as I remember, likely without context:

Entwives are totally dryads. (I think this was on meeting a dryad named Eldenbery, and I think the dryads were the ones asking help for the worms.)

On dealing with a clerk: Just tell me that this isn't Clerk Kent. (I am NOT the one who gave that line of dialogue.) 

So do you have any other concerns?
... ... ... where do you guys get your coffee?
Down the street.

Do we want to knock?
No! This is more of an intimidate.

Would you like to have tea?
Please say yes.
Tea would be very nice.
It is holy tea -- it is the blood

And the bit I remember, because I was involved and it was the showdown.

Neil (an NPC villain): You should have filed a succession plan.

My PC: Oh, I did.

Neil: Then this will hurt less.

Things did not go as Neil would have preferred.

GM: Neil is dead. I don't mean a little bit dead. I mean completely dead.

Someone, possibly me: I do hope he filed a succession plan.
