Kylen approaches a dangerous topic with sword and shield raised. ALIGNMENT! A tradition, and institution--and so often used as a garrote against players of the game. Is it time for the two-axis, Law vs. Chaos & Good vs. Evil alignment to be consigned to the dustbin of history?
There's no way in the world he's the first person to say it, but Kylen says "yes."
Tune in to this week's episode to find out where the concept of alignment started, an alternate look at the idea through the lens of the Zweihänder RPG, and finally, an idea on something that we can do instead, if we prefer our characters to be individuals, rather than stereotypes.

On this episode of Threat Dice, Kylen does a system overview of Pathfinder 1st Edition, a game which he has spent FAR too many hours playing over the past three years. After joining a PF1E game on a lark with a group of online friends, he has grown to truly respect and admire the system for what it can accomplish, despite its limitations.
Having faced the dangers of the wilderness, the three Legionnaires have reached the mysterious ruins.
Reyah isn't sure that Aerus is fully of sound mind on this one, but he's in command, so she goes along. She only remembers that the ruins they're heading for made her feel deeply uneasy, the last time they were there. Both the terrain and weather are against them--how will our intrepid heroes fare in the trek across the wilds, reluctantly toward their destination?
At last, the first episode has arrived! VERITAS is a solo live-play of Tumbledie Games' RPG-in-development, Trove!
