#comicrelief — Public Fediverse posts

Comic Relief and D&D are raffling off a D&D session at Kynren's Knights' Round Table, two nights at Walworth Castle, and a dungeon feast for six. The DM is billed only as "professional", which raises more questions than it answers. Entries close 21st June.

Meet Fat Man and Little Boy.

You'll meet them at a bad inn or a good road, depending on your
luck, and they will immediately be too much. Fat Man laughs
before the joke lands and Little Boy finishes it before Fat Man
can, and somewhere in the middle of all that noise you'll
decide they're harmless. Most people do.

Fat Man is broad and round and warm in the way of a hearth that
doesn't know it's burning too hot. He gestures when he talks,
which is always, and he has a laugh that arrives several seconds
before anything funny happens. Little Boy is long and narrow and
still, and watches everything with the patient attention of
someone who has learned that the world reveals itself if you
wait. They have been together long enough that their sentences
are a single thing split between two mouths.

They're carrying something. They don't know what it is -- not
really. They were paid to move it, told it was fragile, told not
to open it, and they haven't, because they are, despite
everything, professionals. It is fragile. It is also the reason
the next three sessions go the way they do. By the time you
understand what they had, you will have already decided you
liked them. That's the point. That was always the point.

---

Fat Man and Little Boy are comic NPCs built for early placement
and long shadow -- loud enough to dismiss, warm enough to trust,
and load-bearing in ways the party won't clock until it's loud.
Fat Man runs high Charisma and low Wisdom, all impulse and
infectious energy, a natural distraction. Little Boy is his
complement: high Perception, low everything the party might
think to check. Together they function as a delivery mechanism
for a plot device neither of them understands, and as a quiet
argument that the most dangerous things in a campaign are the
ones that make you smile first.

"Living doll" - Cliff Richard and The Young Ones

Ooh, different opening rap from Rik, the one where he mentions Keith Chegwin. That's the second time he's cropped up in tonight's thread.

Silly, funny, entertaining, and great. Comic Relief singles may have peaked already.

I’m willing to bet future ancient historians will have debates, using painfully reconstructed digital snippets of the Oxford Dictionary as a source, about whether “Trump” was a chosen name signifying his helpful and admirable personality, or his actual family name.
