[Beloved] [Solo RPG] In a dream ...
lumpley:
I beat my three monsters!
I expected to settle down happily too, but damned if it's working out that way. I'm in the difficult process right now of trying to settle down with a person who is pretty great, but not who I thought she was. That's being the troublesome part for me, not that these women are unlike my beloved in any particular way, but that they aren't her. Settling down means either deciding that she doesn't really exist in the game world, or else leaving her unfound out there somewhere.
Oh crap. Crap crap crappity crap crap. I just realized that there is a way I can find her by the rules. SHIT. Jesus Christ, Ben.

Huh! Neat. I wouldn't expect that to happen to me, but now I'm tempted to play it just to find out for sure. Cool!

Hahaha! Okay, I don't know what you're thinking, but must share what I came up with: make her one of the monsters!
I'm not sure if invincibility is compatible with my dream girl, though. :)
Ben Lehman:
Dave: Just as a note: Not invincible. Undefeatable. Invincible, if present, is a typo.
There's a subtle distinction: things which are invincible are a particular subclass of undefeatable, but monsters can be undefeatable for reasons other than invincibility.

Julie: Are you going to play?
I have played one round. It took a surprising amount of discipline to play by rules in my own head. I was also very disappointed that the imprisoned wasn't actually my beloved. I immediately wanted a do-over, and spent no effort in the "take time to know" phase. I do not know when I will play round two.

lumpley:
David: it sounds to me like (a) you're under-knowing your beloved, and then (b) pre-planning the way that the person you rescue is going to be like her. I suggest, instead, that you (a) take some time to get to know your beloved as a person, and then (b) let yourself discover how the person you rescue is like her, instead of thinking about it beforehand.
