Page 528 — False Reinforcement
"Don't count your chickens before they hatch," is an applicable saying for this. I devoted some significant time to referencing/adapting it with this page, but I realized that no one really uses that phrase anymore. Then I got to thinking about what kinds of wise-sounding sayings could be made for tabletop games.
I pass along this thought process to you. Got any wise proverbs for the RPG crowd? I'm not looking for any huge lists of suggestions like the *shudder* Mr. Welch lists. Just quotes that are short, sweet, and timeless. Make one up and falsely attribute it to a well-known pony/D&D character if that helps.
