D&D General Thaco the angry clown... really?

[Benjamin Olson]

Has he been replaced by a younger, more popular clown named "the Ascending Ac"?

That's more of a stage name for an acrobat.

 

[Bill Zebub]

Or, as in my case, neither be offended nor find it funny enough to even elicit a smile. It's a joke so lame even I'd be embarrassed to make it.

Yes that is exactly what Thaco the Clown would say! Well played!

... It's not like they named a clown Attack Matrix.

...

If there were two mimes named Guisarme and Bec deCorbin, now that would be asking for trouble.

The best D&D easter egg will always be the on on page 92 of the 3.5e Expanded Psionics Handbook.

It's like I'm having Deja Vu.

I never really found 3e base attack bonus any different to 2e Thac0. In both instances I had my base to hit number and then an edited to hit number depending on things like strength bonus, specialisation/weapon focus. Both editions had adjustments to hit depending on the circumstances, Spell effects, etc.

He guards the gate and blows bubbles.

Thaco being a "gatekeeper", I get. Whats up with the bubbles?

Sometimes a bubble pipe is just a bubble pipe. I think someone said that once, or something close enough.

Bubble blowing baby perhaps? Or maybe just a whimsical detail unrelated to the joke.

 

[Sacrosanct]

Bubble blowing baby perhaps? Or maybe just a whimsical detail unrelated to the joke.

Maybe because everyone keeps bursting his bubbles.

Because a vape would be too on-the-nose.
