Alignment continues to persist despite having basically no mechanical function anymore because alignment chart memes are a part of how people engage with D&D. Likewise, telling the story of the time you had a crazy scheme and your DM humored you by letting you roll for it, and you got a nat 20 is part of how people engage with D&D. “You can certainly try…” is almost as iconic of a Mercerism as “How do you want to do this?”</p></blockquote><p></p>
