Great Is the Weapon That Cuts on Its Own

The title and the comic both refer to Darkest Dungeon, wherein the shit I depicted happens nonstop. For those who haven't played the game, it's an RPG where you march parties of adventurers into a Lovecraftian nightmare where they will suffer physical and mental afflictions. Mental afflictions arise when a character's stress meter gets filled, and they acquire new traits with the illness that affect gameplay. Afflictions can be beneficial and can potentially make a character more courageous or powerful. Usually, my characters had negative outcomes including but not limited to becoming abusive, irrational, fearful, etc. The abusive trait, for example, will make the character shout insults at their comrades each round, increasing their stress and leading them to develop their own afflictions.
