If my GM is following the directive of page 9 and charts that my alignment went from Neutral Good to Chaotic Good, how do we account for me forgetting one alignment language and learning another? When my forbears split from the Catholic church to become Lutherans, they didn't magically forget Latin and learn German...<br /><br />To be fair, they were already German, so they probably knew it.<br /><br />Anyway, your theoretical approach makes sense. I just wonder if anyone's actually turned this theory into practice -- I've never encountered a game that used alignment languages.Uncle Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372568503602699725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682721872439417235.post-12045202263517301692012-01-30T16:16:22.585-08:002012-01-30T16:16:22.585-08:00Waah, I want a Cyberpunk post! ;P
I started with ...Waah, I want a Cyberpunk post! ;P<br /><br />I started with the 2e DMG, but the 1e book was a thing of great and intriguing mystery for me for many years thanks to old Dragon back issues mentioning things like the Disease charts or random castle generators.<br /><br />I've written about this elsewhere, but my theoretical approach (since I've never actually used them) to alignment tongues is to treat them as liturgical languages. Like, Black Speech for Chaotic, some fantasy version of Latin for Lawful, that sort of thing.David Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.com
