[Game Thread] WW49: Wizards and Werewolves

[Lewwyn]

Our squire Novice is keen to volunteer for the bard's advancement, what do you think of his request, Ser Lewwyn?

I see he has indeed volunteered
A noble undertaking shall it be.
One must however I am afeared 
Wait until the day is free.

But one would ask ser gaz-a-lot
If not yourself would enjoy
A time with your inkpot 
To embrace your inner poetic boy.

Are munchkins a type of goblin and grognard an ogre?

My impression is that when dungeons and dragons are involved, a munchkin is an angleshooter and a grognard is a nostalgic purist.

So to continue the thought, they’re sort of opposite ends of the spectrum. Munchkins think winning is more important than following the rules, grognards think the rules are more important than playing.

Do you imply that our monkish friend
has said his peace for a dastardly end?
He has of course professed
that winning is not the best.
In fact Adrien states he plays to play,
A strange statement to start our day.
I am unsure whether this is intended
or whether his opinion might yet be mended.

I think him being the grognard is a bit too on the nose. My choice of words was inspired by previous exchanges for sure, but wasn’t meant to implicate the monk as such. But I do think looking into what these words actually mean in the context of D&D turned out to be good fodder for role speculation. An activity that I don’t particularly endorse, but indulge in anyway since the monk called for it.

What’s (slightly) off about the monk is that he called for speculation, but didn’t do much speculation himself neither prior to or subsequent to calling for it.

A novice you may be in name
But a novice you are not in game.

Your point is pointy and well distinguished.
I too agree the meta is acceptable
But why is Adrien’s thought extinguished
Before it’s been fully set upon the table?

It is an honour to make your acquaintances, even if you both have leaves in your hair.

Criticizing leaves in someones hair seems a bit much from a fox with an eyepatch. I now recall having seen you in a Labyrinth once. If you ever stand in my way I’ll try to remember to simply ask your permission.

Greetings, i have come to this world from another known as YGGDRASIL where i was apart of a guild. I am a magic caster some of whom may to refer to as a Warlock. I come seeking others that know of the name of Ainz Ooal Gown

Some of you look suspicious like you are just trying to skate by without contributing much. Pindicator  you know the undead dont need healing right? So what use do we have for a cleric!?

Who else is skating by? What are the relevant contributions that have happened?

I’d love to chat interactively with my friends here from other parts of the world, but the hour is late and my can of mead is almost empty. The window of opportunity is closing.

A fox I may be, but no weeb me. As for Ser Lewwyn, I am not averse to receiving the curse of the verse. From Ser Gaz to Ser Gab?

However, first we must know the rules ser, for without rules we are animals. Admittedly I myself am an animal regardless, but I have trained long and hard to rise above my nature. So, is the bardic gift available every day, or just the once? ANd 'wait until the day is free' - you mean you bestow it at night?

A second vote is extremely powerful, so it would be best be offered once we had more idea of who is Lawful Good and who Chaotic Evil? I am also a little suspicious that a mere Novice would be so quick to ask for a power above his station. All we know of Novice so far is that he is keen to play the metagame, dissecting definitions.

That druid is also looking like he could be skating by. Druids in Yggdrasil were basically clerics that took their healing power from nature instead of from a deity. Not to mention, the undead and nature dont really like each other much.

Why would it be above my station? From my perspective I’m certainly the best recipient of additional powers, and if I were to be restricted for a day in my posting, I’d prefer for that to happen sooner rather than later.

[Gazglum]

(Sorry Novice, 'above your station' was just me roleplaying you not being a Ser)

But also, while you may be assured of your alignment, none of the rest of us are, and I don't think anyone should be hurrying Ser Lewwyn to double their power before more clarity emerges.
