I built a one-shot around this idea on a heavily-modded Tiny D6 system, letting people choose which of the 4 they wanted to be with variants like wealthy or scientific Victorian, captain or gunner pirate, disgraced or retired Samurai, cattle driver or 49’er, and so forth. I set it in San Francisco to get some good conflux of cultures.
Of my 4 players, 3 of them chose to be rich Victorians. facepalm
Our player who likes doing this to the DM: “So they’re giving us horses? What are the horses’ names?” Our DM: “…no. You choose.”
Speaking as a player (most of the time) I love making things worse for my poor character. And I send my evilest ideas to my DM. Who then makes them heartachingly worse. It’s great.
I made an adventure for this based on the Tiny D6 Pirates system. They were in 1820s or so San Francisco so we’ve got robber barons, Emperor Norton, and all sorts of weird stuff thrown in. You can also have fun with cholera epidemics and floods and gold rushes.
We did manage to steal it and that is eventually the plan. Provided we can throw it without touching it.
Like someone with a deep US Southern accent saying geese. Gee-uhs.
Hm. Re-watching (scene inside the wagon starts about 1:27:00) and yeah, as she’s swinging in and we see the floor from a different angle, they are flat. But at least one of them in this pic looks like a d6 with pips.
Missed opportunity here, movie folks :D
Diabolical. I’m thrilled by the idea of it happening to someone else.
