So, after the roll-up session you're presented with a Gnome Artificer* whose solution to everything is to build some crazy device; a Tiefling Rogue** whose mission is to steal 1000 g.p. worth of loot in order to prove herself to her clan; an Arctic Elf Ranger whose goal is simply to get home to the northern icefields; and a sodden Dwarven Cleric (to the god of beer, natch!) who most of the time is too drunk to stand up***.* - named Heath Robinson, of course** - shouldn't this race-class combination just be called Thiefling?*** - dibs on playing this one!Were I the DM here I'd probably stand back, shake my head, and then go ahead and run it anyway; establishing the intended flavour of the campaign as far as I could while hoping I could get lucky and kill off some of these wingnuts in short order. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
