Your Sword & Sorcery / Fantasy Fiction D&D Dream Party?

[Terry DM]

Wow ... the responses have included ALOT of surprises (and to be honest, a bunch I don't even recognize!).

When I get the time in the next day or so, I'm going to compile the entire list and perhaps we can have a "Survivor" type of contest to vote who we think would be the penultimate uber-fantasy team.

Would anyone be interested in that?

Groo will win, slaying the first person who calls him a mendicant...and everyone he doesn't recognize as a friend within the next few miles radius.

 

[Terry DM]

No, I don't mean that kind of contest ...

Good choice! (did Nakor do much stealing outside of oranges?)

Let me add a few more obscure characters...

Fighter: Ringil Eskiath (Morgan's The Steel Remains)

Wizard/Antichrist-figure: Gerald Tarrant, Neocount of Merentha (C. S. Friedman's "Coldfire Trilogy")

Monk/Wizard/Christ-figure/Antichrist-figure: Anasûrimbor Kellhus (Bakker's "Prince of Nothing")

Brooding F/MU with big black sword: Anomander Rake, Lord of Moon's Spawn (Erikson's "Malazan Book of the Fallen")

 

[Argyle King]

I chose Nodwick for the sole purpose of carrying the loot gained by the other members of the party.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

No, I don't mean that kind of contest ...

If Groo is in it, ANY contest can turn into that kind of contest.

 

[Hussar]

Tempus (Paladin, Thieve's World)

Heh, definitely NOT a pre-4e paladin.

My dream team:

Cohen The Barbarian
Wee Mad Arthur
Reverend Lucifer Jones
Roland of Gilead
Doctor Strange

 

[The Human Target]

Heh, definitely NOT a pre-4e paladin.

My dream team:

Cohen The Barbarian
Wee Mad Arthur
Reverend Lucifer Jones
Roland of Gilead
Doctor Strange

Heh my first thought about 4e Pally's was "Finally, Tempus has a class."

Sethra Lavode- when you are 200,000 years old (give or take), who needs a party?

Or, if you simply must have a full team, the cast of Villains by Necessity:
"Sam"- assassin
Arcie- thief
"Blackmail"- fighter/tank
Kaylana- druid
Valeriana- wizard
Robin the centaur- archer/bard

(because you can't go wrong with saving the world, for evil)
