Am I the only one bothered by alignment chart memes that just throw nine random things in a grid instead of having some consistency regarding what is good, evil, lawful or chaotic?
It just takes a few tweaks to make something at least moderately consistent.
And see, I'd swap your Lawful Neutral and True Neutral, as then all the neutrals would feature one long bed edge placed against a wall.
That would also make sense, it would just be changing the pattern.*
In mine, Lawful is center aligned with one side touching a wall. Chaotic is tilted to touch corners to walls instead of sides. Good is head towards walls and foot towards the interior. Evil is foot towards walls and head towards the interior. And true neutral... is not bound by any of these rules.
* A pattern that would be based on the idea that neutral should be a defined side, one that presents its own rules in each dimension of the chart, rather than merely being the absence of one of the other alignment dichotomies. If this were just about chart making, I would support that as I like things to be orderly, but because this is alignment I stick with what I believe to be the better representation of that system.
I guess I'm lawful neutral good now
Yes! It's stupid how many of them just throw random shit in without thinking about what would make sense.
How about a diagonal bed in not touching any wall? Or just touching one wall?
You monster
We'll just call that Chaos Incarnate. It can have its own category off the chart.
Rotating circular bed in the middle of the room with a mirror ceiling?
Swaggerly swinging alignment.
What about a bed that perfectly fits into a nook in the room, meaning that part of the room is nothing but bed with only one side open? Sized exactly so nothing sticks out either
Because that's my bedroom
I'm going to say that's a level above lawful good.
I want that arrangement with the opening along the foot of the bed. But I imagine as a child this would terrify me, having no other possible escape route but through when the zombie shows up.
Sounds a bit of pain for two people if one side is the free one. Sounds a bit of a pain for both if it's the end that's open. Sounds like utter madness if it's the end with the pillows that's open, but insane enough to earn my respect.
I feel like Chaotic Evil should be the bed upside down AND at an angle.
Yeah sure, but what’s the alignment for the monster under the bed?
Monsters under the bed follow a different system. I don't know all the details but I believe if there's a cross hanging in your room you get a priest. If you have a poster of a fast car you get a bully. And if you have an anime wall scroll featuring cat girls you get a robot.
I grew up with True Neutral, but now that I'm married, we use Neutral Good.
My wife sees the bedroom as only a place to sleep, so she has a small aisle to get around to her side of the bed. Meanwhile, I like having space in my room without the bed occupying the whole room, so I scoot it as far into a corner as I can get it.

Hey! I resent being called Lawful Good! In a society where some laws are just and other laws are not, Neutral Good is the only real good!
Currently lawful good but true neutral is aight too
You can't tilt it in the corner or else the monster has space to rise behind your head.
i assume chaotic good means the best, right?
Dang, you folks can afford having both both the sides free‽
And here, ladies and gentlemen, we observe the extremely rare interrobang in its native habitat. Absolutely fascinating.
Chaotic evil, I guess. I move relatively frequently, and commonly the apartments I rent have TV on the wall, a dining table in the middle, and a couch at the opposite wall. What I mostly do is I put my PC on the dining table and push it against the couch to use as a workplace. But then I sometimes want to use the TV to watch something in the background and not run HDMI across the room, so I move all of it to the wall the TV is hung on. But then I fall asleep on that couch often, in the middle of the room, under the dining table, facing the wall...
lb, is the best
