Thoughts about the Dragon Herald
Before this morning i always saw the Dragon Herald as a “worshiper” of the dragon, at least in some sense. Could they also be against the dragon? Think a mixture between doomsayer and televangelist.
“We all need to repent for our sins and do our best before the dragon comes and kills us all!”
like that?
Is that an intended/supported view of the playbook or should they be followers of the dragon?
My first impression was of a dragon-slayer.
My actual first impression was: “Oh a Dragon Hocus, cool”
That was my second impression.
A testament to the flexibility of a well done playbook format, is the off chance two people of the same ‘class’ could meet and be violently opposed to each other’s extremely divergent philosophies.
I look at The Chopper and think; Oh cool, The Guildmaster with a mobile trade guild — could be a circus troop… nothing says the gang has to be unskilled at arts, crafts, and exotic talents!
I think it can go either way. His mission to be to please the dragon or it could be to prepare for it’s arrival with an ambush.
Most of the playbooks read to me as if they could go either way. The War Herald could be trying to prevent it, etc.
I think you’ve been focusing too much on my interpretation of the Dragon Herald. 😉 I could totally see him working differently.
All I know is, if you are immune to the effects of something that targets entire civilizations for consumption and destruction and you DON’T try to kill that thing: You’re a jerk.
How about The Hocus walks around with a copy of The Logic of Society: A Philosophical Study ~ By Laird Addis from which all public sermons and private consultations are referenced.
Followers hand out pamphlets entitled Aufbau, and have access to a set of similar pre-fall apocrypha from which sacred references are made, including titles such as; The Logical Structure of the World: Pseudoproble, Language, Truth and Logic, Mein Kampf, Rationality and Science: A Memorial Volume for Moritz Schlick in Celebration of the Centennial of his Birth, From Courage to Freedom, and Ecce Homo: How One Becomes What One Is.
Try to wrap your head around that inversion of a post-apocalyptic hokey cult…
It’s the aftermath of a global apocalypse.
What is normal?
Had a guy who played a female hocas and used the British Parliament as the basis of their faith.
