[WP] "Seeking wealth is not inherently evil. Like power, gold is a tool that can be used for both good and evil. Therefore, squire, when someone says that they "only in it for the coins", make them elaborate what are the coins for, THEN judge their character from that."

[WP] "Lovecraft was a coward. Sure, you can't always stop the monster from eating people, but if it turns out that all you need to do to stop it is have the proper ritual spoken while someone else shoots it in the face a few dozen times, do it! If a terror goes bump in the night, bump back"
