    Default Re: Stories where the bad guy, is really the goodguy

    PGTE is very different from Worm. "Story" plays a big part in how many things play out. "Superpowers" in the world all come in the form of Names, and Names each have 3 Aspects (powers) that they grant, differing from one holder of the Name to another (there can only be one at a time). "Story" or, put another way, "Tropes" can impact chance/luck/fate positively or negatively depending on the story or pattern and where in it you are.

    Some of the Named in-universe are aware of this and deliberately create patterns of threes (draw/defeat/victory), knowing that the 3rd one is always the one that sticks, or try to manipulate the situation such that they or their enemy have the power of story/narrative behind them. I don't go in-depth in figuring things out, so I just enjoy it as it comes.
    Also, I really enjoy the interludes with the Lycaonese. "And yet we stand."
