Thread about the Iron Will's insanity, enjoy.

2057: I will not convince the elves in my group that Cascade Orc Moonshine is wine because it's made from berries.
2057a: If I break said rule, I should have an antidote patch ready for the alcohol poisoning.

Step 1: Hold Alt.
Step 2: Press (in sequence) 0, 2, 3, 3.
Step 3: Release alt.
Step 4: Receive é.
Step 5: Never again need to misspell Laés.

Press ´, press e, receive é.
I got lazy.

I can also do `, ^, ¨, ~ on top of letters: à, â, ä, ã

Don't forget the alt. Alt+`, e.
Some symbols require a shift, e.g : needs alt +shift + ; (because : needs a shift)

2063c, sub point one: Any action the player takes that elicits an "are you sure?" from the GM is automatically an allowable circumstance.

I should note, it gives me great pleasure as a GM to ask 'Are you sure?" just to make the players nervous about something as simple as grabbing a fresh soykaf.

Your players are bug-eyed paranoids who do legwork and bring backup to breakfast with grandma, or on a run to the Stuffer Shack, aren't they?
