Show Notes

Is it worse to believe everything is a lie or nothing is? Wait, that is not the James Earl Jones quote… Ha I was deceiving you the whole time. Anyways, we discuss what we think is a common fallacy in roleplaying, a player asking if an NPC is lying. Although it is possible that NPCs can lie, in the RL people don’t go around asking if every person asking for help is lying. In a roleplaying game, lie detection becomes more of 'meta game theory' and therefore shouldn’t be decided by rolls. I know, hot take.
