I think he's referring to D&D settings, where the PCs are, well, murderous heavily armed hobos with access to nigh deific power.
I use black for sarcasm.
Call me Rose, or The Rose Dragon. Rose Dragon is someone else entirely.
If you need me for something, please PM me about it. I am having difficulty keeping track of all my obligations.
