As a stubbon person in real life, I’d say that I’m pretty biased.
Do you play characters of the same virtue over and over, or do you like to cycle through them?
Agents of Virtue by Robert Chew
Still one of my favorite collections of all time.
1. Kindness: Powerful but frail magic user. Needs squad support to be effective.
2. Charity. Support healer capable of supporting the entire squad.
3. Chastity. CQC specialist. Engages at close to mid range. Highly versatile.
4. Humility. Stealth infiltrator. Can sneak behind enemy lines and flank.
5. Temperance. Level headed strategists/leaders. Able to fill multiple roles.
6. Patience. Trapper/zoner/disruptor. Uses traps, grenades, and serves as the squad DMR to control the field.
7. Diligence. Heavy support tank. Brings heavy firepower and armor to the field.
Also, as a bonus, here’s some of Chu’s early concepts of his ideas.
Which Agent role would fit you best?
Archetype Cards (The Beloved, The Provocateur, The Gravitas, The Coryphaeus) by Janna Sophia
The philosophy known as Stoicism has inspired generations of thinkers and leaders with its teachings of virtue, tolerance, and self-control. Today, we colloquially use the word stoic to mean someone who remains calm under pressure and avoids emotional extremes. But while this captures important aspects of Stoicism, the original philosophy was more than just an attitude. The Stoics believed that everything around us operates according to a web of cause and effect, resulting in a rational structure of the universe, which they called logos. And while we may not always have control over the events affecting us, we can have control over how we approach things. Rather than imagining an ideal society, the Stoic tries to deal with the world as it is while pursuing self-improvement through four cardinal virtues: practical wisdom, the ability to navigate complex situations in a logical, informed, and calm manner; temperance, the exercise of self-restraint and moderation in all aspects of life; justice, treating others with fairness even when they have done wrong; and courage, not just in extraordinary circumstances, but facing daily challenges with clarity and integrity.

Read Derren Brown’s book Happy! It is hugely related to this and really improved positive thinking for me.
A set that I’m going to turn into an 8-page zine for an art show in May. I might sell some online if I have any left over!
