[Game Thread] WW49: Wizards and Werewolves

[Lewwyn]

Fair enough.  You understand that I need to apply pressure to everyone, especially to those of us who may soon be affected by Sleep enchantments.

I didn't intend this level of pressure, however.

We are but an hour in and the votes are still quite fresh,
but you seem so eager to jump from a wave about to crest.
Why so soon before the pressure's due?
There's a whole day yet left to rue!
Do you truly think the barbarian might
would wilt so quickly before this swiftly ended fight?

[AdrienIer]

Yeah I didn't point it out about Dark Savant because I don't know how much WW he's played or how rusty he might be, but it's probably best to hear from most people before starting to jump around with our votes.

Monk (AdrienIer), what do you have to say about such selfish powergaming?  Can we trust you with an item of great power?

I won't be playing anything selfishly. And we'll see about items of great power when we get to them.

Actually it's kind of amazing, there's something to discuss D1 besides roleplay, ridiculous tone stuff, lurker lynching and obvious beginner misplays : what the hell is that grognard role in the setup ? It's got the colour of a third party, but if the name has the same implicits linked to it in english as it does in french, it could be something that's not a SK. 

(I've refrained from googling it or going on various mafia sites so as not to spoil myself on what that role may be)

In gaming terms, a Grognad is a hardcore wargamer, so it could very well be a serial killer.

Everyone knows that fighter is the gateway to munchkinhood! (or atleast, it was back in 3rd ed, the last time I played D&D)

I’m a powergamer, but no stinking munchkin.

Why? Don’t you want to win?
I’m going to google it right now.

[Lewwyn]

I have no knowledge of this - who'd be a good sorcerer character to play? Gandalf the Grey? Or Rincewind but I'll need to reread the Colour of Magic, it has been too many years.

My friend, be you!
You needed another's skin!
Roleplay your own mystic self
Bards and Sorcerers are akin.

Really ? The implicits in my mind are more of a seasoned warrior that's a bit tired of everything, but you're right that it means a warrior too.

I want to play !

Are you sorcerer or not? and if not then you munchkin or worse.

My friend Cohen told me about Rincewind He is a wizzard. And there once was a sourcerer for a time the most dangerous person but then he vanished in his own universe. His daughter helped save the world. Cohen always tells the best stories

While that sounds like an upstanding person, my magic goggles tell me you’re mistaken. A grognard is a grouch who complains that everything was better before, and / or in the original edition. For example, a grognard could insist on playing the fourth edition of a game even though newer and shinier versions exist. I know many players here who fit the bill.

[Lewwyn]

I want to play !

A curious exchange!
A player wants to play, a healthy goal but strange.
To win or lose is where we all end up.
But the victory seems sweeter within my cup!

The Ranger wisely fears the wrath of Rowain
