I think dungeons and dragons is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills monsters and doesn't afraid of anything.
I like this idea. Morgan Ironwolf, Gutboy Barrelhouse, Eclavdra, Emirikol the Chaotic, Beek Gwenders of Croodle, Erac's Cousin, etc. Would confuse the heck out of younger players.True to DDNs goals, they shouldn't create many new ones, but draw most of them from D&Ds history. Maybe even use some well known villains, like Lareth from the Moathouse (ToEE).
It's interesting. I thought the "secret push" behind this set of poll questions was "How would you feel about a single iconic character?" And I think this ties to what they were saying overall about the brand of D&D with previous discussions about the logo, about possibily having a non-logo icon (ala the "dragon swirl" at the top left of the Next character sheets), etc.
My guess is that they want to use Elminster more heavily, as a "front of the DMG" type character ala some of the 1e books. This is based on the 1 character assumption above, their seeming renewed focus on Forgotten Realms, and the fact that the wizard character may strike them as the most uniquely D&Dish.
