I get in a funny mood when I get… fatalistic in a roleplaying session. The situation could be dire as it could possibly be — world ending, party imprisoned, loved ones dying — and if I don't see a way out, I start laughing. I make mean jokes. I cease to treat my enemies with even the slightest bit of respect, even when they threaten my life.
I have roleplayed a man with nothing to lose. It was an interesting experience.
