Welcome to Inside the Theme! Each month we ask the IGGPPC staff to answer a few questions about the theme of this month’s pen pal round. This month the IGGPPC is all about games but especially polyhedral dice games, such as Dungeons & Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, and Pathfinder. These games have such a rich history and the role-playing can be as low-key or histrionic as your game group chooses. We here at the IGGPPC are big believers in exercising your imagination and group storytelling.

Here’s the thing. I’m probably best fit with chaotic good but I would not use a bottle like that because plastic.

We would love to hear from you too!  What’s your alignment? Our staffers determined their alignment based on this graph of how people store bread:

A chart of alignments based on how an individual stores bread: Lawful Good = Using a Bread Box; Neutral Good = Using a Bag Clip; Chaotic Good = Using the bottle hack; Lawful Neutral = reusing the bag clip; True Neutral = Rubberband; Chaotic Neutral = Twist and Tuck; Lawful Evil = Tying a Knot; Neutral Evil = Just Tucking; Chaotic Evil = Leaving the Bag OpenVia Flowing Data
