Topics of Discussion – Re-Alignment

3 Alignment system

• DCC and new OSR systems
• Basic D&D – Moldvay & Mentzer do this (Holmes did NOT – he had the AD&D setup)

It’s How You Use It

• Guideline
• Railroad for morality
• In-world or in-system impact to shifts of alignment
• Excuse to be a dick

How to be a group with mixed alignments?

• Guardians of the Galaxy – what they were before and what they became together
• Develop the bonds and connections and goals that the group agrees on (ie. the “quest” they are on)
• Those that act “in character” in a way that harms the group get booted out “in character” – adventures aren’t stupid.

Die Roll – 2-4 misc points we want to bring up at end of cast. Should be short and sweet, could be a plug, something to check out, etc. Limited time to spout off.
