Maybe I should've said "I may not rescue the Scarlet Empress solely so I can lay her".

That's not fair. I didn't fudge any rolls, and everyone agreed with the idea of your amnesia, which wasn't even my idea... It was the other players. I simply agreed that it was getting very out of hand. :smallfrown:
FTR, that was also the first roll he succeeded against your jumping at him. Please don't take your irl problems to the forums it's offensive. Thankyou in advance.

What? That's the kind of character you WOULD want in a political intruge game. Give it to a child that is often near an enemy ruler, political opponent, etc. And there, sitting right with the child, and by extension, the ruler, you have the perfect spy.
Or, you know, a portable bodyguard for an allied ruler that the child wants to take with them.

*points at thread in Other Systems*
A few things. You know the sun? Yeah, it's actually a giant glowing battle station. Isidoros is a pretty cool guy if you can get him to take a form that won't destroy everything just by standing there. Adorjan is bat**** insane. Malfeas is REALLY ANGRY, but if you can calm him down, he's not such a bad guy. The Unconquered Sun is a prick who ordered some guys to kill his creators so that they would stop making his job harder and he could play games in the Jade Pleasure Dome. Solars can be anything from superpowered Hitler to Beowulf to Asakura Yoh (I know because Shaman King is influencing my latest character). Infernals can be anything from superpowered Hitler to Beowulf to Asakura Yoh, and even more since they have powers beyond "jump really high, punch super hard, speak really inspiring words". Abyssals are goths with superpowers, and almost all their powers are directed at killing things. Lunars are shapeshifters, who have a totem animal they can turn into and can take more forms by eating the hearts of creatures. Unlike other exalts, Lunars start castelessm and if they don't get the silver tattoos, they might eventually turn into a chimera. Lunars are also bondmates to the Solars, paired when the exaltations were created, so one Lunar shares eternal brohood/love (depending on whether they're the same or different genders) with one Solar. Alchemicals are communist cyborgs from another world. Dragon-Blooded are like the elemental benders in Avatar: The Last Airbender, except there's currently about ten thousand of them and they run the world, with this jaw-dropping beauty of a Dragon-Blooded nobody knows the name of running the world (she disappeared five years ago). In Exalted, there is no "good" and "evil", there is only "better" and "worse", and it's pretty really almost entirely subjective. Except for the Dragon's Shadow/Ebon Dragon, he's definitely "worse".

It does, but you have to tread the world, searching for the 300 most attractive women in it.
Wait, does that make it better or worse? Well, it makes it better and harder, so you won't complete the goal within 150 days of wandering through a metropolis and seducing girls.

I'd go with proud. Sengoku Rance is an awesome game. Although I would like the main hero to be a bit more likable.

As DM.
* I make not make the party encounter any form of spider themed monster if they include one player who is Arachnophobia out of character.
* Especially if it's a none combat encounter.
*Having the spider drop down from it's Web, start singing "I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it." in a bad Jamaican accent while moon-walking a circle around the party is absolutely out.
**So is having the party leave the Arachnophobia players high Cha bard a note as there leaving saying "Come back any time." If he offered no violence to the party and clearly wasn't doing in any manner that can be construed as an actual danger to the character.
All of the above actually happened this week at an IRL gaming session I was DMing. In my defense, I didn't know we had an Arachnophobic player in the group till after she freaked out from the note. (She was freaking out before hand but she does that from time to time for reasons as yet not explained so I didn't think it important. )
