Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!: A Dresdenverse Bestiary

<< < (8/27) > >>

Deadmanwalking:
So, it being Sunday, how'd it go? I'm desperately curious.  :)

Tush Hog:
Well, there was a bit of a surprise. I actually got to play instead of GM - that's pretty rare. One of my players who is really stoked about Dresden asked if he could run a short session so I jumped at the chance to play. Riding horses played a pretty important role.

We were riding on some the back trails investigating some disappearances on the Appalachian Trail. The horses' keen senses alerted us to some nearby danger as they got a bit spooked while we were making camp. Also had a horse chase - well my horse was chased - by a nasty wereboar  ;D had I been on foot it would have been ugly. Alamo (my horse) for the win, though 8)

Went very well and everyone felt the horse stats were right on. I'll be GMing next time and more animals will be used. I did realize there is another I would like to request - Wild Boar  ;D

Deadmanwalking:
Ah! I Knew I was forgetting something important.  :) Wild Boar will be up shortly.

And I'm very glad you got some use out of the stats and that they worked well. It's always nice to know things work in practice as well as theory.

Big Simon:
This is pretty cool.  I'd be interested in seeing a Raven or a Crow.

Note: Ravens, somewhat like Dolphins, don’t really deserve Scholarship. However, they are quite a bit brighter than most critters you’re likely to meet, and can learn English much like a parrot, so it seemed appropriate.

EDIT: Upon further consideration, I took it away. A trained raven might have Scholarship, but not a randomly selected wild one.
