One Night in Xag: Part Three
Chapter: Season Six
I didn’t forget Carlos. He’s just going for mystique but we all know how it goes at the table when even the most hardcore of characters get pulled into the in-jokes and ridiculousness. One of the many reasons why I love gaming.
HOVER-TEXT: Shout out to my buddy Tuesday. So good! So good!
I <3 Carlos so bad.
He's so very relatable.
Yes! Go Carlos! Kudos to Brian F-ing Patterson by the way. Your characters are so believable i really feel like your just telling us what happened in your own game.
And now, I go and look up the song. dang it Carlos! …This makes me wonder if Gul’ren is a lounge singer on the side for extra cash.
BA BA BAAAAAA!
Good times never seemed so good!!
Dammit I leave Boston and still can’t escape this song…
Still, I like seeing Carlos getting involved and playing along because being the new guy sucks. A few more sessions and he’ll be all “Sam, you’ve seen my junk, you know what I brought to this party.”
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
*blares airhorn*
<3 <3 <3
They should have gave him coin for that performance alone
I had to play some Neil Diamond so I could imagine the voice and had to reread it that way LOL! Sweet Caroline 1971
Don’t ever change, Trevor.
How would you describe the voice Carlos uses for his character? I’ve always been interested in how the magebound sound when they speak. The only thing I can think of that compares in Carlos’ situation is the Lich King from WoW.
I once had a bad case of the flu, but found out from my ex-fiance that my normally deep voice went lower still.
As a result, every time I spoke, it resonated in a few…private places.
Sadly, I only achieved Barry White Voice levels for a few days. A very bright spot in a week-long flu.
Nothing more entertaining than a dark and sinister character doing something light and silly.
(See Clarota, from Critical Role; also many many things from Buffy; Ultron quoting Disney)
I am so jealous of this gaming group.
I love Carlos so damn much. I have had so much anxiety at a gaming table before, whether be a character concept or trying out a voice, or even getting ‘too invested’ in the roleplay.
S’why I like playing with other actors. Then there’s no such thing!
This is great!
I usually use the “in a world” voice-over guy for my mages. “in a world…where I shoot a fireball at that group of orcs….”
Perk of being a magebound: every song you sing is a duet and elementals really know how to keep the harmony.
Awww yeaaa! That’s one of my go to Karaoke jams!
So I’m at work and this seems the right place to ask for a second opinion, is this Neil Diamond Christmas album terrible?
Oh shit, I have to go find this now.
It’s on Spotify!
IDK about anyone else but I am assuming the voice is like an old jazz musician.
Neil Diamonds Xmas album is SO bad it’s actually good, in the “can you believe we’re listening to this” kinda way
I really just needed confirmation that it was bad, according to friends I have “terrible musical taste and no real sense of discernment.”
Hmmm… I may need to play a wildmage who speaks in some form of vague poetry.
I first read that as “Vogon poetry”, for what it’s worth…
I could imagine it now, poetry so bad that every time your character speaks the party takes a constitution check.
I saw Neil Diamond back when he was playing our State Fair. Still a fan!
Well crap, this is turning into a variation on that Morgan Freeman meme I sometimes seenon Social Media where you see a picture of him with a caption that usually ends with “and now you’re reading this with my voice”. Only now, whenever I see Carlos’ character speaking, I’ll hear Neil Diamonds voice. 😀
Why do I get the feeling this’ll come back later in the arc?
So captures a real table- people break into song all the time- great work!
I have seen Neil Diamond in 5 different decades, so yes, a bit of a fan….
Touchin’ hands! Reaching out! Touching me! TOUCHING YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
SWEEEET CAROLINE! BAH BAH BAAAH~
So I was doing some reading last night, Lizardpeople are just like…in and of the world. Why does no one play them?
Nerdier follow-up, if one were to make a 5e conversion, would you give them +2 Str to fit with what’s in the MM or +2 Chr because they’re Felico’s patron race?
We recently dubbed a halfling rouge Goblin Bane as she kept liquefying hobgoblins and goblins. It quickly devolved into the Bane voice in a high pitched tone. Best night ever!
YES.
