Episode 610: Duel Purpose

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

Try offering your players the chance to rule the kingdom, the world, the galaxy, or whatever, through some sort of obviously messed up bureaucratic bungle. The error should be clear to the PCs, but to nobody else. They really can live like kings and be in charge of everything - if only they take up the opportunity and don't tell anyone that there's been some sort of horrible mistake.

Some players will leap at the chance. Let them get away with it. For a while.

Other players... well, that's even more fun. Watch them squirm as they try to decide what they should do about it.
