Let me tell you the story of Anthony the Hoothoot. Once upon a time, Fault (aka Aaron, that guy I’m married to) wanted to run a tabletop roleplaying campaign in which Pokemorphs (ala pokemorph mush) were transported from the island into a fantasy setting to go on an EPIC QUEST. Anthony was my character for the journey.
He lived a life of misery being small, shrimpy, and quite nerdly, bullied by his schoolmates. The only solace he had was running a weekly D&D campaign with some other nerds until he found himself in a magical world where he was the most prepared and capable member of his party! Never before had his monster manual or his studying of ancient languages been so useful! But would it be enough for them to make it through and achieve the test the king set before them?!
…No one knows because we never finished the campaign. 😐 But man it was fun. I like to think that they succeeded and that Anthony eventually became a badass Noctowl wizard mercenary or something.
