COMMENTS ON DUFGAL THE THIEF
Oh, one thing -- shouldn't your bonus for
Disable Trap be +2 rather than +4?
Good catch on that bonus. I just copied and pasted the code and forgot to change that one. My generated sheet def says +2 for disable traps. Changing it now.
I’m going to Strategicon in LA. All DCC. I’m running two Stephen Newton modules (Creep, Skrag, Creep and Love in the Age of Gongfarmers). Cool side note on the DCC community; I posted my game lineup on instagram and Stephen Newton msgd me his support and offered to send me free stickers to handout at the con. Cool, huh?
As for char backstory:
Dufgal was an ugly, overweight boy, mercilessly teased by not just his peers. His father was a gongfarmer as was his grandfather. He never knew a mother. Perhaps she couldn’t stand the stench. Perhaps the rumors were true that his father wasn’t even his birth father. They looked, walked, talked nothing alike. Thus he grew up feeling quite the misfit among misfits. He knew that it was expected to follow in the "family" business. He even agreed to become a journeyman. And that it where his life changed. He found a talisman on a gold chain in the shit he was shoveling. It must’ve dropped unknowingly from its owner. He did have to tighten the clasp by squeezing it between two stones.
Dufgal wore the precious trinket under his itchy burlap shirt and told no one. Every day he would fantasize about its possible owner. Who could this be? How do they live? Do they eat cabbage stew most days? Or do they eat roast beast and green vegetables?
Over time, the young boy became a young man. He increasingly daydreamed to be elsewhere and began making mistakes at work. His father would shout at him, telling him that there were no other jobs and if he couldn’t even do this this one well, he’d be out in the streets to steal from people for his living. And one day, he shouted back,
"Fine! Maybe I’ll do that then!" And he did.
