Yorick: Please disspell my ignorance and tell me what is the purpose of the Jester Clan? Is it for multi-player games? I've wondered this about OHF too. (sorry if I'm being dense again. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...les/tongue.gif )

Thanks!

Hail and well re-met, Yorick and all. After an extended vacation from my computer, due to the end of myself and my not so significant other, I have finally returned to the board, due to a really potent charm person spell, which I learned recently. In the split, I got custody of my computer!!! So I'm back, and interested in checking out the clan. I have successfully dodged the OHF, nothing personal, just not willing to commit at the time, but a Jester Clan would be just about right for me. Just a note for now, though, as I must check on all of my current games to see where I am.

"...and that's the bottom line, 'cause Robert the Bard says so!"

Yorick 03-17-2001 02:02 AM

Alright then.

Henceforth Bards shall not be barred and Blades will not be cut from membership. I guess we must diversify to challenge the conservative clans.

Welcome Epona, Bruce, grab a lyre and give us a tune.

Robert, good to read you once again my friend. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

Bilqis, one may as well ask the meaning of life itself, such are the mysteries of clanhood.

Does that mean that I am in? Do I have to sign my life away or anything?

No, we don't have a "wedding ceremony" or "marital contract" for this clan. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...miles/wink.gif

But we shall rule the world! (After they all die laughing)

Can I join the Jester clan even if I have no sense of humour. If so do I have to learn a funny handshake?

------------------
The Truth is in the Profile

bilqis 03-17-2001 08:53 AM

bilqis the Skald formally applies for permission to join the Jester clan. She promises to sing only when enemies need confusing and other clan members have ear-plugs.

Charean 03-17-2001 11:49 AM

::::jumping up and down waving hands frantically::::
Can I join??

I do have a couple of questions, though.

Would Jackie Chan be considered a jester?

And would the killer joke (from Monty Python fame) count as a weapon??

tee hee

Yorick 03-17-2001 12:07 PM

Hmmm, well I do laugh at Jackie Chan movies, but why? Are you him?

If you are in possesion of the fabled killer joke I think you could twist our arm.

Pull up a pew Charean, tell us about yourself. Are you a he or a she? (Made a mistake with Fjlotsie you know)

------------------
FAIR DINKUM!

Charean 03-17-2001 12:14 PM

Just a female, living in the Washington DC metro area... there is more to laugh at here than I can shake a staff at....
Let's just say I am 30 something...
And have had an adventuring life of my own... this was not a big leap!
I love Jackie Chan movies and he seems the ultimate jester to me... that is why I asked...and I will see if I can rustle up that Killer Joke... I believe I have one around here somewhere ::::shuffling papers on the desk::::

http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

I am fairly new on the boards, but am enjoying the atmosphere... it is stimulating to talk to real people after playing for so many hours!! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...miles/hihi.gif

Yorick 03-17-2001 12:21 PM

Aah I thought you were a femme, but had to ask. I like your (posting) style. Welcome, welcome.

It certainly is a good vibe. Have you checked out the Gen Discussion forum? If you have and I've missed your posts I humbly beg your forgiveness.

I'm an Aussie myself, from Sydney but shacked up in Singapore for the next few weeks.

What was your main Character?

What do you do with yourself?

Hi Charean ! Welcome to our little party. I was not sure if you were http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...les/female.gif or http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...miles/male.gif, your sig is a little ... confusing ... http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

Welcome Charean!
So Yorick, are we 'officially' called 'The Laughing Hyenas'? Great name, I will add it to my sig when I get a mo! (or should I say when everything is loading a bit faster, I've been having real problems today, don't want to fiddle with my profile when I'm having connection probs).

Yes yes Ertai, I made a post about Bards not being barred, Blades not being cut from membership and the need to diversify. Skalds, our more sombre breathren from the north will be welcomed with sibling love as well.

We are all jesters at heart though. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

Er... why?

Charean 03-17-2001 12:51 PM

Confusing?? How about ambiguous?? I was a truck driver - lorries in Australia, I think... Our are only 18 wheels, though. Have traveled lots, courtesy of the USNavy (was a Navy wife), lived in Florida, Sicily and back to my hometown near our nations hot-air capital.

Have not gone over to the Gen Disc to post much, just to work on a sig that worked for me... I like this character, we have a lot in common!

Usually I switch around on main PC, have done lots of multi-class characters, always a mage of some sort - and I like clerics as well... working on a bard - to see if I can handle that (my playing style is still in developement!)... I am on my 4th run through BG2.

Now I am retired - a bit early, but what the hey! - and have become a humble housewife/no kids - but still do the road traveling every chance I get. If it is under 5 hours, it's local! I am also a Spiritualist leaning heavily toward Buddhism (hopefully will have refuge with the Temple in Spring). (That would probably explain my leaning toward mage and cleric classes... huh?)

Yep, Charean, 'ambiguous' is the word I was searching for ! Unlike for you, English is not my native language, you see. Forgive me if I sometimes use inappropriate words, will ya ? http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

Glad to know a little more about you.

Charean 03-17-2001 01:00 PM

Well, Moiraine, some would say that English isn't my first language either!! And there are quite a few in this area that mangle the speech to the point you need a dictionary to keep up.
Writing is one of the few places I can talk without saying, uh, well, ya know...

Wandering Joke of the Laughing Hyenas

Yorick 03-17-2001 01:01 PM

Wow, sounds like you've seen a lot! I like the 5 hrs motto. I share a similar view of distance.

I played a Monk first up. Normally I play a Bard (guess you didn't pick that eh?) Pretty much exhausted every piece of interest from the game as I played all the kits up to finishing the related stronghold quests.

Spiritual? Yes, but of a Christian walk. I've read plenty on Buddhism, Hinduism, Bahai, Theosophy and the like though, so I can appreciate your leaning.

I've been travelling myself the last month or so.

Creating music is my profession.

Epona 03-17-2001 01:07 PM

Charean, I'm sure you will enjoy playing as a bard. I always find them great fun, as they have diverse talents, and are not so specialised in any one area. They never run out of uses in an adventuring party - if they get badly hurt and need to withdraw from the front line in battle, or if they run out of spells, their bardsong is a great tool which is IMHO underrated.

Especially jesters, their singing skills are their main weapon and can have several effects, more so than other bard kits.

Yorick, music is a fine profession indeed... the bard would suit!

It seems that we are all more comfortable playing characters that are like us, hmmmm? http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...miles/wink.gif

Are you enjoying your travel? I really miss real food... can't get it here unless I hit the sushi places or specialty markets. You sound over 30 yourself, or are you mature for your age?

... And Yorick's music is great, I must add, Charean. You can find some of his songs on Stealthy's site http://communities.msn.co.uk/StealthysSite

Now we count on you to write the Laughing Hyenas new hymn, Leader of the Jesters. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

Epona 03-17-2001 01:12 PM

And Yorick, thank you for starting this clan! I knew there were a few bard fans here, but I had no idea how many.

I got so fed up with reading in BGI, BGII, IWD tips books "Pick one (bard) only if you want to properly role-play your characters" (IWD minihint booklet).

WTF does that mean?? It goes on about how important all the other classes are, then writes off the most interesting of them all! Of course I want to role-play, that's why I bought an RPG, isn't it?

I used to play a bard in PnP games too. It's good to finally have the merit of bards appreciated!

Moiraine 03-17-2001 01:20 PM

Charean, I find it is more fun to play characters not at all like the real person - my favourite RPG character is the Thief, and I am the more honest person in the world (my friends say TOO honest sometimes ... http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif ). Maybe that is why I so love playing the Thief with a vengeance ! Yep, I agree with you, Epona, what are RPGs about if not roleplaying ? I remember fondly all the jokes about his size that I directed to a friend in a AD&D PnP game, he played a Dwarf, and in real life he is 30 cm taller than me ! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

Sigh! No, I'm not a Zelda fan, never played it. Epona is the ancient Celtic/Gallic horse goddess. That's why the name was used for Zelda!
