After millennia of collecting the tolls to cross the river into the underworld, Death still can’t afford to properly play 40k, and loses as a result.

I like to think he is not here for you just yet, he is expecting to lose the first learning game(s).

Love this simply for using the most superior version of Death, and I'd honestly love to see a bit of him getting to experience the actual gameplay next.

This is Why Being A Horrible Coworker Really Only Bites Your Own Butt
Chartreuse 397U.
“Huh. Well, well.” Snark bounces off the Renaissance fresco on the ceiling. “Say, Kati, that’s not quite chartreuse, now, is it?”
A solid beep. The drone stops.
Annoying. “No, I suppose not,” comes the reply. “What are you doing?”
More snark comes her way. “You think that’s acceptable? Garbage in, garbage—”
“Garbage up your ass, Simeon. Please be quiet.” Another solid beep, and the whirring resumes. Far below the drone, Kati continues: “It's a non-problem, fixable at post, we talked about it. Can we just leave it?"
Simeon can’t decide between a laugh, a grump, or a huff. Something between the three. “How about no?”
He presses a button on the keyboard again. A third beep.
“How about we let it stop?”
Kati's patience wears thinner.
“How about,” he begins…
“…you let,” taking a step closer…
“…the experts do it—”
“For God’s sake, Simeon, you want to solo this whole project?” Kati snaps. “Fine, Simeon, okay. Obviously you know more.” She spits a glare at his face. “Sorry the Polish guy only had a Pantone sampler. Sorry I couldn’t go with your kit.” She strides towards her laptop.
“Wuh—”
“You want your London pal with you, right? Go right ahead.” A briefcase clicks shut, and heels echo on floor. “His jank-ass Old Street startup can obviously do better. Seriously. I'm sure it'll be period-accurate.” She slips past him.
He reaches out for her silhouette. “Hey, come on!”
But Simeon has never been an intelligent man.
“Project’s all yours, Simeon,” she sings, turning ‘round the corner. “Just tell me when you lose your restoration license, go over budget, and get some seven figures in fines, because that Reddit post is going to be sooo fun to write.”
Her singsong voice fades away.
Simeon blinks.
“Kati? Hello?"
Silence.
"Kati!"

Reply to comment by Aphrel86 in [WP] As it turns out, this dragon had never killed anyone before, nor did it plan to, it was frightened and acted in self-defence. Now the party will have to figure out what to do with the hyperventilating beast while the cleric revives the murderhobo fighter by Zagreus7777
No lie, asking a dragon capable of doing so to shapeshift small is probably standard procedure for exactly that reason - easier to put down before they can cause too much carnage, if that's what it comes to. Just because they're smaller, though, doesn't make them that much weaker...
As for the PCness, though, that's very real. The Witch Queen's conquest of the world all started with her destroying and replacing an elven government bent on race-driven conquest. She doesn't look fondly on racism, and she's...not a nice lady, when she isn't fond of a practice. It only follows that people working for institutions bearing the Royal seal and name would be held to a high standard in that regard. Richard must have hid it very well until that moment.

You honor me! He's one of my inspirations in how I write and build a setting. I may keep going on this later; I have ideas. If I do, it'll be on my personal sub. I can ping you, if you like.

Reply to comment by PatiThePurplePenguin in [WP] You live in a world where the normal life expectancy is 32 and people start dying of old age after 40. One day, you find out that people used to live more than 100 years. by aciakatura
“didn't mean the same thing as our 365 1/4 day year” oh ok I just thought that this was a twist where it turns out they just measure age differently and I was thinking that there was no actual physical description of the daughter. Sorry
