Bill the barbarian

The true rulers of the planet might object!

Beware the lion and the witch... just saying!

Now what were those words again... ah here's my pitch pipe... <huuuummmmm>

picture the gent at left wearing the pointy helmet shaking knees, hips and elbows right along with Zuco's boys singing... "a Walla, walla, walla"

Tell me more, tell me more Barbarians like to sing Tell me more, tell me more This could become quite a thing... Oh oh... oh, oh, o Oohhh... all on a summer's ni—iggh—igh—ight...

I just noticed the moniker, AB&B. Bad Sean, to your dungeon young monster! No more puns for you! Cheers

Yeah, what he said. Oh and klecser, we love ya! Cheers

I was going to send this just as a private post but... My first sad face was a bit of a disaster too, like the first scratch on a new paint job. You are a fine member of the community, but remember, so are a lot of folk here. You don't usually cause trouble (okay, never) but that can be said about a lot of us (yeah, I know, not me... troublemaker here!) You contribute in a positive way and don't get the credit you are due. I feel that was sometimes, but... You do a lot around here, kudos We are all uz. The silence of typing at home as opposed to seeing your conversation partner or competitor is a bit alienating. Is he dissing me, in an in-club kind of way? What did he really mean? What am I trying to say... and floundering at... I tried to help someone here the night I broke my glasses, I was not helping and the other individual was giving me no indication how I wasn't. They were just getting madder and madder that I was so... and I was getting more confused and pained, Ever try to read 10 pt font without much needed glasses. By the last post I was in serious pain (close to a migraine), confused hurt and I just gave up with a one sentence post. It was not mean but it was not sympathetic either. Alas, we have not seen the individual since... Screwed up, or was I human... the other individual as well? What you are looking at here is a very minor version of this... misunderstanding, but a very real one. We all are alone looking at pixels posing as words passing before our eyes. Pixels can't hurt, Intentions can, but worse so can misunderstandings, If one were to try to follow these words below, I think we will all be better off Be nice...

Hilarious!

You are very welcome, it was the least we could do...

Always loved this kind of philosophy, loved it when Steve Jackson Games helped out Greg, Love it when my next door neighbour community of St. Albert Alberta is home to my 2nd fave FRPG and its creators Ed Simbalist and Wilf Bachaus. Cheers

Tell me more, tell me more.

I would not be put off by the sad comment, assume that it does not say much other than I am sad. It could be that they are sad because they have not seen an answer to your question or that you have to ask the question instead of it being clear. In any case, don't give up yet. We do not know why you got the sad face, perhaps they will answer you here or you can ask them in a private post. In any case, I can not imagine that you are being disparaged for asking for design perspective,

If not a library, I suppose a quest for the spirits who not only knew Idrema back in the day but spirits with this knowledge required, might work seeing as we are playing at least an assistant shaman. Again, you might gain shamanhood in the time it takes to gain this knowledge.

Good call.

I would guess the prospective shaman might want to gain some more power, defences and knowledge first. Whether this means becoming a shaman or not is for your table to decide I would think but... my two bolgs... The force known as Idrema is not a friend or patron merely a goddess without all the power, and worshipers that go with the title. Worse, while no god thinks of its little playthings as more that servants, this one is not removed from, your presence by time. She can hurt you directly. Getting one's power and defences increased might help with surviving the first attempts at worship. This one also seems to be damaged or perhaps was never totally sentient. SO finding out whether or not she has enough thought to be useful for worship might not be a bad idea, plus finding out what powers she might have had and can be quested for, as well as what she still has... as well as problems she could cause (beyond the obvious) and how she can be placated. Speaking of placated, unless you are the nasty sort a trip to a library specializing in ancient lost relatives of Maran Gor to find another way to placate Idrema might be in order seeing as all she seems to want is blood and lots of it. That would be where I would start to build a spirit cult... Cheers

I was going to mention how all over baroque and medieval music the d&d crew are. Forget Gregorian chants and the Medieval Babes.

Thanks Phil, glasses aint worth a damn these days. And needless to say, but allow me to say it anyway, you are correct g33k. Cheers

Entirely, but having seen what can be done with music, number and religions (Bach and St Mathew's Passion or Jesu Joy of Man's desire come to mind). In any case I would love to hear the concept when finished Joerg. Let me know. Cheers Truly apologizing for the geekery. Sorry

Okay, that would not only work but would fit into the temple theme of the topic! https://youtu.be/GwcUSshWhlw

Correct, send 'em to Orlanth, or human Humakt temples or Yelmalio (if they can take the heat)!

Might i recommend Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade for the Lunar Pantheon, I Know it might fit better in Pamatela, Fonrit perhaps. But is it different and foreign and strange enough to evoke Satraps, Mad Sultans, young girls dreaming of becoming Red Moons and crimson bats. https://youtu.be/zY4w4_W30aQ Cheers

It has to be a chaotic area for the dissonance of the pastoral refrains to be offset against the incredibly heavy handed piano ( I have described it as the first industrial music many decades pre Reznor and NiN). Dorastor perhaps, Snake Pipe Hollow. No, the sheer strange beauty of some of the passages would be best set in the Mad Unicorn's realm. Cheers

Now who's getting seedy?

Attacked by a murder of death drakes... oooo ouch, ooo, hey cut that out...
