Sorry for the super sporadic posting. Still in the process of moving and everything. I am giving updates on my Mastodon and !stamets if anyone is interested but there's really no reason to be.

Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday. Live long and prosper, you glorious bastards.

There's also the rogues that grew up in a family of rogues. So it's not instant death! (But it's close)

play a rogue from a nomadic family of rogues that follows him around secretly

My favorite character I ever played was a super shady rogue who, as it was revealed halfway through the campaign, was the estranged son of a very wealthy and powerful politician. He was very embarrassed to have to reveal this to the party, as he had carefully curated an image of himself as a self-made scallywag.

Turns out cleptomania isn't just for the working class, although PR is definitely for the ruling class.

I played a rouge that just hated to be around his family.

It's only rogues that have to be orphans; rouges' families are safe.

Their loan sharks beg to differ, rouge families accounts are always in the red.

I've done that too: the child who's Loved by his family, but just wants to be out on his own

IT'S NOT A PHASE, MOM

I'M ONE WITH THE SHADOWS

My rogues always come from normal households. They're either assholes, kleptos, or Robin Hoods.

My name is Frank Smithly, Lvl 20 Rogue. My story? Heh, kid, it's not your average tale....

You see, my parents? They lived throughout my whole childhood. To this day, in fact. My mother even packed my lunch this morning. I was raised in a loving home, supported in all that I did by good, hard-working folks who wanted me to succeed. I was given every opportunity for success, and I've quite clearly taken them!

It was the worst! Growing up without even a single minor tragedy to give fuel to the dark pain deep within me. No dead close relatives, no parental abuse, not even s schoolyard bully! The complete and total lack of childhood adversity left me a scarred and broken man, so I turned to this life of crime...

Same, mines Robinhood. Steal from the rich and reverse pickpocket coin into npcs.
