Players

When the swordsmen emerged from the shadows and charged the countess, her lute players seized the opportunity to demonstrate several ways to neutralize an opponent with a stringed instrument. They received some hesitant applause.

Fumble

'I have bad news for you,', the Devil said, making a face. 'Actually, God *does* play dice with the Universe. But what you don't realize is, on the very first roll, he'd managed a fumble. All of this is the consequences.'

Imagination

For a long time, we had refused to believe that collective hallucinations were possible; but when we ddicsovered emitting telepaths it became obvious that the former are caused by the literally overflowing imagination of the latter.

Fantastic

'Well yes,' said R42, 'I do have metal armor, but no, there is no human inside.'

"FANTASTIC!" exclaimed the Princess and the Dragon in unison.

"I WILL NOT HAVE TO FIGHT YOU!"

"Nor I to marry you!"

Creature

It was written: one day, Man would face a Great Old One.

On one side, a vile creature whose hideous form fills the strongest mind with horror, and whose soul is even more terrifying.

On the other, Cthulhu, shivering, tries to flee.

Brink

Known trick: you fall straight toward a black hole, and you switch into hypervelocity just on the brink of the event horizon.

You emerge on the other side with enough kinetic energy to get anywhere you want…

… Or you get stuck inside.

Playbooks

Wizards memorize grimoires like playbooks, in case one of the instructions therein would prove useful one day.

Witches study grimoires in order to find out the weaknesses of the Wizards who have read them.

Game Leader

They say that just one session with the Game Leader changes you forever.

And I seem to be the only one who has noticed that you never see any of her former players.

I don't know what to do with the invitation she just sent me.

Surprise

Oh, but I don't hate surprises. Quite the opposite, I like them. Well, I *would* like them, if they would happen to me. But there never happens even a single one. Which is no surprise either, what with me being a precog.

Experience

A witch gains experience by exchanging with her sisters: she learns new powerful spells and useful potions.

A wizard gains experience by facing his peers: he learns the taste of victory or defeat.

@aaribaud Augh, I love this! Do you mind if I pop it in my notes for TFL - it fits in with the theme of the story?
