The Emperor had a vast collection of ADnD rule books, including some of the most bizarre and obscure ones, not to mention a veritable riot of various fan-created works. It was perhaps a somewhat silly hobby for the Master of Mankind, but at his age one was permitted a great many oddities.
"Serenity, Horus," he said, placing the core rulebook (edition 350—the best in his opinion), "we have played many a game and you two, as my eldest children are ready to step to another step of being role-player."
"As you know, our family is growing and so is the amount of players in our games."
He looked at the two sternly. "Horus has twenty brothers and Serenity has her Senshi. In the future some of them might want to introduce spouses or children into the game—that is why, from to day on, we shall play in three groups and each of you will be the Dungeon Master."
The pile of rulebooks had reached a gargantuan sized, all up to the Emperor's mid-chest. "Here are the rulebooks—I expect you to be familiar with them by the next session."
The pile disappeared almost instantly and the Emperor was left to wonder how to tactful tell Horus that a basso squeal of delight was not the most dignified of sounds.
