We ourselves, in real life that is, live our
lives primarily to have
fun, and enjoy ourselves. We work it's true - but that's generally to
get the money to have fun. Large portions of our salaries go toward
trivial "fun" items: cable TV, DVDs, books, computer games and so on.
But roleplaying characters are apparently
different. They exist only
for duty, for purpose. After a hard days work cleansing evil from a
dungeon, they will settle around a campfire to memorise spells and
maintain weapons. Then, with only a blanket for comfort, and with the
ever present threat of nighttime attackers, they will sleep.
Though they may have millions of gold pieces to
their name, and wield
huge powers, they have no interest in worldly pleasures. A
blood-stained sword and a blanket on rock, in a cold, dank dungeon is
all the satisfaction they require...
Like bollocks it is!
Roleplaying characters should be like the rest of
us. They want
comfort and entertainment, and don't want to let work get in the way
of that. Think of a rock group on tour. Sure, they're having to be
away from home for a long period of time, but they're going to stay
in the best hotels and make the tour bus a home away from home.
And it seems to me that a group of rich,
high-level characters would
be much the same.
Which is where the Nexus's Portable Headquarters comes
in.
You want this...
