Victor Hugo has a lot to answer for!
"...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

George R R Martin's Wildcards apparently stemmed from a Superworld RPG campaign. I had to hunt for ages to get that one. These days you can just buy a PDF version online.

Sometimes, being the hunted one isn't much fun. Particularly if it involves crossbows.

Unless it's one of those fake murder mystery games or one of those "escape" games.

The London fog pools around the foundations of the dockland warehouse, home of Houdinesque Escapes Ltd.
Watson: A dreadful business Holmes. He looks to have starved to death. But was there foul play behind it?
Holmes (turns head to survey room in a single sweep): No, he was an idiot.

Apparently the shortest sad story is this:
"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

That's what they say, but - Scenario 1: The shoes were bought by well meaning relatives from a loving family, but the kid is already too big for them. Money for the mum in selling them. Scenario 2: Thank the heavens I got rid of that partner and their obsession with having kids. Now I can sell all the stuff they left behind. Scenario 3: You give birth to Mysa Nal. As she levitates above the ground, she has no need for shoes. For sale they go. Folks just see what they want.

Yet compromised so often, much like someone caught with the Joker's Big Book of Boners.
