On this episode of Delve:

* Once upon a time we discussed the "good" party and the "bad" party, but we never discussed the "morally ambiguous" party. You know, the neutral party that really doesn't have a stake in affairs of the state or society, but just has a job to do and wants to get paid for their services. Basically witchers, but with less personal investment. What do you do when your party of personified shrugs enters a world full of intrigue to which they have no interest in getting involved? We walk the line of the gray jedi in this Delving Deep.

* You've fought them. You've befriended them. You've asked them for more ale. But did you ever ask what they do in their free time? Fictitious worlds are chock full of non-playable characters lining their streets and countryside, but their lives rarely get fleshed out if they are not directly part of the players' story. However, after watching Free Guy, Nathan started wondering if it's worth getting more "NPC on the street" perspectives to the world around the players. Perhaps they are worth talking to, even if they do not have a quest? We explore this subject in this week's Delving Deeper.

* Did the Monopoly man have a monocle? What color was C-3PO? Did Sinbad play a genie in the 90s? Question everything about your memory as we dive into the Mandela Effect, a collective misremembering of information. Alex has a quiz for you on this Delving Deepest. Then, we discuss how this attention to detail and altering of information could be utilized in your games as a fun layer of character design or world building.
