Are anarchocapitalists known for their tendency to vacuum up souls?

It's more uploading the souls of their children into roombas so they may be served for all eternity without violating the NAP

Anarchocapitalist parents take NAP-time very seriously

Has anyone ever used the concept of Hospitium/Guest Rights in a game? I'm thinking it might be fun to have a setting where all the magical creatures and true spellcasters are bound by a tradition of hospitality and have to be hospitable to anyone who comes to them in peace and behaves according to the expectations of a guest, and mortals mostly uphold the same tradition for various reasons.

The biggest issue I can think of is that if the players ever broke the obligations expected of them as guests or as hosts then basically every magical being would have cause to mistrust them as well as any mortals who found out, which does feel like it might be resented.

Sounds like an L5R thing. I'm working on a home adapted Al-Qadim setting, and when I was going over the rules for honor, piety, etc, it felt more limiting than fun. I'd probably try to follow it as a player, but don't want to be punished for slipping up. And yeah, would be resentful if a slip up put every interaction at a disadvantage from then on.

That's basically the premise of every game that involves a noble's ballroom dance or social party. Nobody's allowed to kill each other and must follow the rules of society.

Inevitably, the game will end up with the entire party murdering as many guests as possible and looting their corpses for the fancy outfits.

You have to make it a party at some Fey Lord's mansion. And then have a murder mystery.

Spoiler: The murderer is the mansion itself

Fey Lord: Wait a second. This isn't my address! This isn't my house! It's a mimic!

A festive ball at an upscale estate is thrown into chaos as a gruesome murder is discovered, with no apparent culprit. Mayhem ensues as the various guests lose their sense of decorum while hurling accusations (and worse) at their fellow partygoers. The night devolves further as suspicions and paranoia merge with old rivalries and the bodycount starts to rise, but the original killer remains infuriatingly unknown.


The twist: It wasn't a murder at all, just some poor sap who ended up killing themselves in a terrifically gruesome manner by accident.

Interesting twist, but I'm not sure how the players would ever be able to determine that.

Speak With Dead.
Player: Who killed you?
Corpse: Myself.

The question is more, how do you keep them from immediately using the spell, while eventually letting them do so?
