224) Just because I am in a LARP set in the legend of Zelda universe doesn't mean I can break into everyone's house and steal their stuff

221b: And when one of the other party members is a Vatican priest/diplomat/weaponmaster/psychopath who already considers you an abomination.
Considering the priest/swordsman wound up with the blade, I'm not sure you guys are really any better off...

But isn't that the basis for most 'RPG's ? Breaking into other people's homes, killing them, and looting their stuff ?

I mean, isn't a Dragon's Lair the home of a dragon ... which you break into ... and try to kill the dragon ... and loot it's stuff ?

True enough, but in your typical Eastern RPG, this isn't how you win the adventure, it's how you gear up for it.

LARP stands for live action role play. I was implying that I broke into other people's houses who weren't part of the game.

If it helps your case, I almost said that, but I figured it was your place to do so :D

225) Asking the werewolf if he wants a leash will result in death threats. Reminding the werewolf about leash laws results in him scrambling to find one.

225a) Asking the Werewolf if he is equipped with his own pooper-scooper may result in a trip to the Emergency Room of your local hospital.
