Hey people! [Dipper grins, bouncing on his heels. If he hasn't slept much since the event, it's hard to tell, but considering how much sleep he got that weekend, it's really all averaged out to his usual semi-exhausted state.]

It's been a while and we've got a lot of new people so I thought it was time to remind people about the weekly game I'm running.

[He holds up an epic looking box.]

Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons! Which is pretty similar to something called Dungeons and Dragons or Warlocks and Warriors or probably some other magic stuff and other magic stuff that's found in any number of different worlds. It's tabletop roleplay, and it's awesome. If you're interested in escaping this weird fantasy world for a different, better weird fantasy world where you can fight evil and do magic and be awesome, let me know. Or just show up. I can help you make a character and show you the rule book.

[A beat.]

It… doesn't require as much math as you think it does. But you still might want to bring a calculator.

Oh, you know, the usual-- A mage skilled at ranged combat, high intelligence. I have his full sheet around here somewhere.

[And ART. You just KNOW he has sketches lying around somewhere--he always did.]

[mcgucket]

[Fiddleford actually manages a chuckle at that, not at all surprised to hear what kind of character Ford is playing.]

You'll have to show it to me sometime, along with any sketches you've got so far. [Hmm] I'm thinkin' about goin' with a bard, high intelligence of course.

[Still debating what to do about stats to boost, either focusing on a bard's support skills during combat or support skills outside of combat...]

[mviw]

Certainly! I'd be happy to draw up a bard if you give me some initial design ideas. This is going to be great! Just like old times! Or uh-- moderately recent times, in your case.

[mcgucket]

[... You know what, he's in too much of a good mood right now to touch that comment.]

Well I can tell ya right now what's an essential detail of my bard's character.

[And then he holds up a banjo that had been previously resting off-screen...]

[mviw]

Fiddleford! [His tone is actually fake exasperation, and he does a terrible job of hiding a grin. He too is in such a good mood that he really can't be too irritated about the addition of a banjo.

This Is Fiddleford.]

Alright, alright! I'll help you design your banjo-playing, high-intelligence having bard.

[mcgucket]

[Hahaha]

Happy to hear it! I'll even play somethin' fittin' for the adventure too, if you'd like.

[Like he did for Dipper, he strums out a few chords on the banjo now that almost sound like you could hum along the Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons to it...]

[mviw]

[Stanford almost objects, but the simple strumming is actually a nice breath of fresh air. It's been quite some time since he's heard actual live music. He grins.]

Okay, okay... Something with suspense, then! And a good cadence to it.
