y'know that joke where it's D&D characters rping as office workers

what if there was a system for that

you rp a fantasy character who has various stats associated with understanding of the game and you play the inner game by rping as the fantasy character playing the inner game & using their outer mechanics for accomplishing tasks in the inner game

hmmmmmmmmmmm

Gronk: "well, Gronk is a very aggressive orc, so his response to have his belle punch the man"
DM: "okay, let's roll for etiquette for Gronk"
Gronk: *rolls a 1*
DM: "Gronk feels that this is totally a correct move and his belle slugs the man in the face. Roll damage"

*5 minutes later, an office brawl starts and the police are called*

rolling low can be a good thing tbqh
