ParanoidObsessive 06/05/18 9:42:34 PM #65:	Oh, and to elaborate on something I just said there: ParanoidObsessive posted... ~~HE'S basically benefiting from the Power of Narrative that has always helped the heroes in the past.~~ This actually reminded me of a concept/quote from the Discworld tabletop RPG, where "Narrative" is literally the most powerful force in the universe: "A character who tries casting himself as The Brave Peasant Lad Who Outwits the Troll may find he is actually playing one of the Twenty Poor Peasants Eaten by the Troll Before the Knight Comes Along. Or he might even be the Devious Little Human Squashed by the Troll Hero (troll stories aren't very subtle)." Basically, the heroes thought they were in the story where the brave heroes overcome an evil genocidal space tyrant, but it turned out they were really the obstacles the brave visionary hero Thanos had to overcome to achieve his goal and "save" the universe. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:902620644] in Geekmaster...
