13 - Darkness
For day thirteen:
Continued darkness! (More darkness, get it?)
Ahem.
How dark in tone do your games get?
Mine can get fairly dark, though I’m probably middling for The World Of Darkness or Chronicles Of Darkness as a whole. I generally aim for a 15 certificate feel rather than 18. My Vampire games often focus on moral dilemmas, but there’s usually some way to do the right thing even if it isn’t easy.
There are plenty of things I’ll line and veil as a Storyteller or GM in general, and would ask to as a player.
Outside of that genre not so much, partially as a break from that. None of my Buffy games have ever approached the Angel season two existential crisis for example, and my Star Wars games have never gone Andor.
If I want to go bleak - still with some hope - I’d only pitch that to some of the players I know.
13a - 3, 6, 7
Where, Optimistic, Person
Rolling Optimistic led me to share this.
Angel’s crisis ended with the episode Epiphany and this humanist lesson:
“If nothing we do matters... then all that matters is what we do. Because that’s all there is. What we do. Now. Today.”
“The smallest act of kindness is the greatest thing in the world.”
