You're the D.M. of a dungeon adventure that you have created. You can have any four people from history sitting across from you as the adventurers. Whom do you choose? (You may name their class as a bonus answer but it's not necessary ). Your answers need not be historical figures. Anyone living or dead is game. |

Bruce Campbell a knight? From what I have heard he is so full of him self he would be a knave or rogue Sinatra would be a bard like a singing catburgler |

SWMBO's first cut was: Genghis Kahn – the tactician Saladin – the strategist Jeanne d'Arc – because we need some divine assistance with die rolls That Viking chick who they found in a warrior burial mound buried with armour, weapons, and her horse and thought was a dude, but when they did DNA testing, like a year ago, found out she wasn't a dude (I assume because SWMBO is 1/2 Danish and 1/2 Swedish) … but she thought that was more of a wargaming group than a D&D group, so (without me discussing mine yet) she went this way … Jack London J R R Tolkien … no … too obvious Anne McCaffrey Shakespeare Albert Camus and either Sherrilyn Kenyon or Christine Feehan That's five, but we usually find five to be the best RPG cohort. |

Fun question! Let's make Terry Pratchet the wizard. I don't get to meet historical figures often so this could be my only chance to meet Jesus. He has to be fun to game with. He can't be the cleric or paladin, though, too "on the nose", so he can play a rogue. Tell me that wouldn't be awesome. Aristophanes is going to play the cleric. I strongly suspect that a lot of really interesting historical figures would probably not be much fun around the table, so I'm leaving them out. Gorgo (Leonidus's wife) can play a fighter. |
