[Duganson]

It's awesome, my only quibble is the 10 gp... let's be realistic here....

My first thought was that this was a going to be a joke background. But it's so good! And useful! The "go to a tavern" routine is so old I can't believe you've actually found a way to spice it up.

Thanks so much! That's a high compliment!

Really fun.

as soon as I saw what you were doing, I assumed the skills would be Persuasion and Animal Handling. I never learned Insight, speaking for myself. (Also, shouldn't there be an ability to slough off layers of exhaustion and function perfectly? No, I didn't think so either.)

Very nicely done! Definitely does what a background should do, that is tie a character into the campaign world. I like it.

You. Are. A. Genius. I'm showing this my wife. She'll fit.

[Jimbro]

Wow! Everyone thanks so much for the kind feedback.

Yeah, it's totally a background, just like sailors:

"I'm a parent. I come from a long line of parents. My father was a parent, his father was a parent, all the way back to my great great grandfather, who parented here all the way from the old country. In fact, you could say that parenting is in my blood."
