When your team’s quarry suddenly takes up holy orders, you have to reassess. Is their sudden repentance genuine? Even if it isn’t, acquiring your target becomes much harder when they’re living in an environment where you can’t blend in because everybody knows what everyone looks like.
…and maybe they have chosen that particular place because they know something you don’t?
A meta-curse has a party member working their way through the classes in the player’s handbook in order.
That’s ridiculous enough, but what does it mean when they suddenly skip a few?
Magic didn’t enter the world gradually; Nope, people went to bed as utterly mundane medieval folks, and woke up with class abilities as a brand-new race.
How do you get your golem repaired?

Surprised you didn’t mention The Order of the Stick (http://giantitp.com/comics/ootslatest.html) when discussing D&D characters with meta-game knowledge.
Personally for D&D artifacts I always wanted someone to do something with Heward’s Mystical Organ – a huge pipe organ with dozens of powers depending on which song you play, created by a demigod gunslinger.
I saw “State of Decay” in the show notes and thought you were referencing Doctor Who’s take on vampires . . .
(Was the book that was edited out one written this century that has a title that flat-out lies about the contents of the book? Because I think I know the book you’re talking about and yeah, that is a pretty major late-game spoiler.)
“Sailor Noir” puts me in mind of a Sailor Moon version of the Spider-Verse. You’ve got the universe where Sailor Moon wears a trenchcoat and fights gangsters, the universe where Sailor Moon is a mecha pilot, the universe where Sailor Moon is a boy, the universe where Sailor Moon is a pig . . .
Crikey! I haven’t thought about OOTS for a while. Also, we could have brought up the Goblins webcomic (https://goblinscomic.com/comic/06252005).
On the first page an ill-fated adventurer is consulting a handbook (which *could* be in universe) and on the second his assailants are talking about the effectiveness of Attacks of Opportunity, and go onto turn the tables on his allies by taking character classes and gaining levels. There is also a cleric who prays to the “Harold, the DM” but might be another level removed.
Yup, we’ll definitely have to credit on the next show with the idea for a “Sailor-verse” game. It sounds like it would make a good “motley crew” style con game.
(I think Craig self-redacted the book title during the recording, and I forgot to ask, so with nothing on the cutting room floor to refer to, I can’t confirm.)
( shifty look )
I’ve never actually read Order of the Stick 🙁
And, yes, that’s the book I was thinking of.
