[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 18318, member: 11"] I beleive comedy should be incidental. In other words, the things that end up being funny are not funny on purpose - but more because they would be funny in real life too. Like a clumsy person, or someone who takes himself way too seriously and is really an idiot. We have some comedy in my game - but that is because we have one PC with an 8 Wisdom. . . I do try to have an occasional light-hearted moment to give the PCs a moment to breathe in an otherwise dark and over-whelming campaign. Generally, I use the wizard's familiar and the ranger's dog to accomplish this - as they have a "Tom & Jerry" type relationship ;) However, totally avoid silly names. I did this a lot when I first created Aquerra (about 13 years ago) and to this day I come across notes for people and places where I have to change stuff to fit my current vision of it. [/QUOTE]
