Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 22, 2022

You all do Ernest Gary Gygax proud!

Oh my, did Natasha borrow that outfit from Paisley’s wardrobe over at Our IX Lives?

Grab fast, or you’ll get stuck with “Cleric”.

Bard to the bone. And Goldie had to be the ‘Paladin’, diametrically opposite to Lupin.

Oh, I hope Natasha knows the words to Brave Sir Robin …

Wooohooo!!!!! Rock and roll!!!!!!

fyi: bards were also known as “skalds”

I totally called that Lupin would be a Rogue.

What’s Pucky going to be? Is he going to be stuck with Cleric?

Lupin is a Rogue who is Chaotic Netural.

“Bard, bard, Natasha Mouse

Prettiest mouse in the whole darn house

Barder than ol’ Shakespeare

And meaner than the cat’s, I fear"…

?

You can have two rogues in a party, but man, good luck with that. They’d better like each other (and you).

Also, I wonder if Natasha, as the party bard, might take some inspiration from our filkers here in the Orb!

I love Natasha’s little boots.♥

Why do all bards have a lute? Is it mandatory? Or is a guy/gal who plays the lute called a bard?

Hahzah! Prey tell, what role will the sweet House Panther, choose? Thine ears are perked in anticipation!

This is my favourite storyline so far! Beautifully done. I love all the games nerds coming out from lurking to comment!

Rock out Nat!

Canonically, I honestly believe that this actually happens when the people are away.

…..How did I know that Lupin would pick rogue? XDSo:Goldie = FighterLupin = RogueElvis = WizardPuck….Puck….Puck….Hmmmmmm. Cleric? I think cleric would be the best fit for his personality…

I love Lupin’s single fang, and the look on his face. That outfit suits him!

We could use a whole squad of Fighters like Goldie in our neighborhood lately. Bobcats have been spotted, once while attacking a cat. One cat is missing and two who were attacked are recovering. Two small kittens went missing but but have been found safe much to everyone’s relief. I have started taking our dog out on lead which annoys him and am also carrying a walking stick for good measure. Sure hope they move on; the coyotes are danger enough. Thankfully Finn seems to be adapting to inside life (although he might like to adventure outside he is not going to be allowed to).

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile presents to you the Bee Musical Xanadu

Titania: Now to select a group of workers who are hard-working, savvy, and can share a vision. Time to post a scroll.

ELO: All Over the World

Every worker bee in the known word

Gonna tell you what I’ve just heard

There’s gonna be a new hive starting by the Great Pyramid!

…….

An old legend is becoming new,

Once again we’ll have Xanadu,

From here to Afar we’ll make honey that’s out of this world!

…….

All out of this world!

Send out the word

We are looking for the best workers in the world

Right now!

…….

Titania: Here’s hoping for the best of the best.

Sometime Later, several bees enter

Worker Bee: I just saw your scroll at WB University. We’ve come to apply.

Titania: Good. Tell me about yourselves.

Worker Bee: My sisters and I are the best!

(Continued Below)

gonna need a cleric.

Lupin and Goldie’s classes are rather expected, but I usually go with Natasha’s philosophy. When playing RPGs, I want a character I can have fun with, which usually means one very different from my usual persona. I did choose a cat bard the first time and it was so much fun.

When do they start saying “prithee” and shouting “Huzzah!”

Let’s see, lupin’s fang and Natasha’s bracelets on her tail….

That has to be the best drawn icosahedron I’ve ever seen. Nicely done.

Minstrel?

Lupin is gonna get some mad bonuses to stealth if they can find a dungeon painted off-white.

Pucky would make a good ranger or druid; he needs must be a character with healing ability though. I see Goldie as warrior, not paladin. Tommy is obviously a paladin. Baba Mouse is their sorceress, and Burt may be dual-class as a cleric-mage.

Dodecahedral dice! Mine are still in my jewelry box….

At least they’ve got some variety going. Seems to me almost everybody in my group wants to be a half-elf fighter or rogue.

I truly feel about D&D the way Robin pretends to feel about “Our IX Lives”.

g(x) = 5 (x-6x). If g(9)

♫ Cuz I’m a bard, yeah, YEAH, yeah! ♫

They need a thief!

I am SO very happy that Goldie is wearing proper useful armor! (Not that Georgia would ever for one second have considered putting her in a chain mail bikini.)

This made me go back to the peep toad strip and see if Natasha was playing an instrument in it. She wasn’t, just dancing in both.

I’m a…..

Too many options for me.

Look, it’s a bard. It’s a plane. No wait… It’s…it’s a mangy mice! Pounce upon em and eat em, cats!

I’m being educated by this arc. Must say, I do appreciate Our IX Lives better.

No a guy/gal who plays a bard is not a bard, (I think) a bard is a person who usually will travel around, playing music for money

THAT’S A DIXON TICONDEROGA PENCIL.
