Well, I'm here to ask for a little help just like last year. Wow I can't believe it's been about a year already! Anyway, at the begining of this year I ran the "mages" rumble and Raistlin won.. boy imagine that! *geez* heh
Well the big rumble for 2004 will be a "Little DL Rumble" I'm going to pit some of the smaller and in some cases less well-known halflings, hobbits, kender and "other" figures. But I need a little help from you guys to help me flesh them out. So I have a list of characters, and I have some interview questions. If you're feeling creative you can answer some of the questions as one of the characters. (I believe it was Wizo that did an incredible job on the mages last year.)
Anyway, here are the contestants for the "Little DL Rumble":
From DL : Kronin Thistleknott, Kronn Thistleknott, Paxina Thistleknott, Earwig, Delbin Knotwillow, Belladonna, Blister, Fetch (Kobold from Dhamon saga)
From LoTR: Bilbo, Frodo, Samwise, Gollum
Other: Regis Rumblebelly (from Drizzt), Olive Rustkettle (from Finders Bane trilogy), Willow (from the movie Willow), Lidda (from Player Handbook)
