Poem: Morality and Ethics (A Primer)

  Lawful Good: "Cool motive, still murder." Neutral Good: "It's murder, but he was a bad person." Chaotic Good: "He was a bad person, why is murder a bad thing if it's morally right?" The champion of ethics. Lawful Neutral: "Murder is against the rules. I don't care what your reasoning." True Neutral: "I don't really care, keep me out of it." Chaotic Neutral: "I should be free to do what I want, including murder." Middle ground of self serving. Lawful Evil: "As long as it's within our law and order, murder can be justified." Neutral Evil: "I can sell you information for the next murder, pay my price." Chaotic Evil: "I murder to watch the world burn." The dark side of 'freedom'.

Poem: Road to Adventure

Rolling the dice hearing them clack and bounce onto the tavern tabletop you control their destiny whether or not they live. A world adjacent to ours heroes and villains airships, castles, mine shafts cities and villages other planes of existence. Anything is possible everything is dangerous magic swords and fireballs wizards and dragons relics and cursed objects. Paths drawn by hand a pepper shaker stands in for the big bad antagonist the mundane transformed into the amazing. I miss doing this the cameraderie the creativity the adventure the door is always open.
