Weirdly, the other ones I initially came up with weren't ancient Roman at all, but the thought of adapting them to 100 AD or whatever is what got the ball rolling!<br /><br />(I think I'm also pretty sure that I'll miss William's January 31st deadline... so no prizes for me. But I'll publish it on the blog nonetheless!)<br /><br />I'll do FSF in February. However, I'll warn y'all in advance that it may be poetry time... and mine definitely isn't as cool as Geo's!Cygnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394890573443379954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63753090450546412.post-79640645614644155382013-01-26T06:56:27.673-07:002013-01-26T06:56:27.673-07:00I don't know much about D&D, (i.e. I know ...I don't know much about D&D, (i.e. I know NOTHING) but it'd be funny if you incorporated characters similar to those in a Mel Brooks movie.

Tons of new takes on tropes in there, I'm sure.

Wouldn't it be cool if sometimes when we aimed for gravitas, we'd end up with light-hearted and fun to spare? Which would mean, of course, that we were fools. But there's something to be said for as much. Maybe yes? Maybe no?<br /><br />I'd like to see someone reinvent a trope. :)Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.com
