In the bar the others offered multiple suggestions to deceive the people in the bar, like when Lydia asked him for coin to bribe them, but he just said "no, my character wouldn't do that". And to help he just said "well my character is used to getting his way" without actually doing anything to help. I get that he's playing a posh twat but it leaves everyone else helpless and struggling to work around that character otherwise the story doesn't progress. Also when Ravs tried to kill Simons duck for no reason other than that's what his "crazy" character would do. Fortunately he got punished for that, but what if he had succeeded? Suddenly a fun character Simon had created would be dead and Simon would have no choice other than go along with it.

    tom you've done it again. although obviously i couldn't help but hear the mork borg hype a few years back, i didn't really give it a second thought other than "cool art". well, about ten minutes into this and i ordered a copy of the book (and wow, what a book! it's such a well-made artifact). so they and chaosium owe you commissions

    This is the best Mork Borg playthrough that captures exactly how this game should be played. Leaning right into the silly. Loved it

    This was fantastic, I'm so glad ya'll roll with the punches so well, in the spirit of the game for sure is the way to go. I'm excited for the next run in MÖRK BORG
