ParanoidObsessive 10/12/18 3:22:27 AM #15:	Nichtcrawler X posted... ParanoidObsessive posted... That's like half the plot of The Bard's Tale: Which part is? I know the player based the character on something, but the DM separately came up with the multiple Legends, even allowing a separate party to kill one during a one-shot. (This one was more evil and the player was low-key freaking out about that, as this was before we learned out of character about the multiple Legends) I basically linked to it. In The Bard's Tale, the Bard keeps coming across people (mostly dead people) who were apparently told they were the Chosen One, and who then dropped everything and went off to rescue a beautiful princess (and basically got violently killed). Every time a bunch of little goblins come out and sing a song about it (a reference to the Oompa Loompa songs in Willy Wonka), singing about how much the Chosen Ones suck. And the Bard usually makes snarky comments about how stupid they are (and then loots their corpses). The flip-twist in the end is that the Bard has essentially been the only real "Chosen One" the entire time, in spite of the fact that he hates the idea and doesn't want to be. Doubled down on when it turns out the princess he's supposed to be rescuing is actually a demon, and freeing her will basically doom the world, so being "Chosen" is pretty much the worst thing ever. That being said, because The Bard's Tale is such a sarcastic, cynical parody sort of game, the Bard has the option in the end to free her anyway and doom the world, but basically getting rewarded for it in the end. While if he does the "right" thing, he saves the world but absolutely no one gives a shit, he gains absolutely nothing from it, and from his perspective the entire game has basically just been a pointless waste of his time. Or he can go get drunk with some zombies and give up all pretense of being responsible for making the choice at all. But yeah, basically I was referring to the idea that someone who is absolutely convinced that they're the "Chosen One" just keep meeting other "Chosen Ones" who are all equally convinced, kind of undermining the entire concept of being a "Chosen One" at all. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:910391248] in My newest ...
