...and those are actually the best options. Because what's left over after this motley collection is these characters...
...who are just a sorry lot. Except maybe Doree and Boy Howdee up there. You could maybe strike a couple sparks with that. One or two of the others have potential. But these folks include easily a dozen of the sorriest sad sacks I've seen in more than 20 years of roleplaying. What am I gonna do with them?
The deal is that I signed on to do the Iron Chef Adventure Challenge Contest Thingy over at Swords & Dorkery. He sends each competitor an unopened pack of TSR collector cards from 1992, we each write a short adventure/encounter/whatever that uses at least 8 cards from the pack. It's a great idea. But I kinda expected to get some monsters or some items or SOMETHING OTHER THAN VERY ODD-LOOKING CHARACTERS WITH RANDOMLY GENERATED NAMES. That would be the "challenge" part, I guess. My entry is due tomorrow. Better write it up.
If it's any consolation, you are not the only one to get all or mostly stupid NPCs. I am developing a theory about why these cards did not catch on.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's up with that "elf wizard" picture?!?!
ReplyDeleteAssuming I have enough space, I'm tackling that question directly. A picture like that deserves an NPC to match.
