Not to mention which game you’re actually playing.

When I ran Savage Pathfinder, the characters ended up along almost exactly these lines.

Absent knowing anything else, and assuming most of the “usual” fantasy tropes are in place?

Either Savage Worlds, or Colville’s Draw Steel depending on how I feel and how my upcoming experimental play of the second one goes.

The Industrious Rogue has entered the chat.

It’s absolutely demanding on your real life charisma in a way no other check is.

Yes, I have a bard like this. I love her dearly, but she is exhausting. That’s why I consider carefully before I decide if I’m going to use her.

In my head, that goblin is speaking with Homestar Runner’s voice.

I’m a simple man, I see a new “Tales from the Tables”, I upvote.

Angie and Redwen’s expressions in the last panel are priceless.

That kenku cracks me up. 🤣🤣🤣

You would think a half-orc would ‘get it’ more readily… Apparently not.

Well, if you haven’t checked out her “Dust in the Wind” collaboration with Algal the Bard (on his channel) that’s linked at the end of “House of the Rising Sun”, definitely do that. I wouldn’t consider myself an expert, but the “Bardcore” channel has quite a few playlists of period songs done in an instrumental ‘bardcore’ style, which seems like the popular approach. I have yet to run across anybody who does the ‘full monty’ (by which I mean, including vocals) as well as Hildegard does.

Ayoooo, Hildegard Von Blingin is my girl (not like in an IRL sense I just love her covers), she sings with the voice of an angel. Recently did a totally haunting version of “Hurt” and she’s got some others that’ll bring you to your knees.

That’s half the fun.

Also “dive bar” 🤣🤣🤣

Konsi really reminds me a lot of my half-orc cleric, I think they’d be good buddies.

She’s not the BIGGEST bad, but there’s a major villain who’s a bard type in Red Hand of Doom. (My players are about to meet her, actually.)

Everywhere I’ve seen them posted, the episodes are full length, but they DO have a much smaller cast, only 4 PCs, which was what hooked me.

I am sure that goblin is not a little mayhem engine at all. The one in my group definitely is not. Nooooo, sir.

Your drawing style is adorable.

The names are different but these map pretty well to the Approaches in FATE.
