Clowns
*giggle*
I wrote the bulk of an article today, explaining why clowns are able to get the kings of the world to assassinate false clowns. It makes sense, it's not silly, and adds to the world.

Re: Clowns
I'll share the opening:
His Majesty, King Frederick Mercurius XXIII, slowly strode down the central carpet of his throne room. Every seventh step, he spoke a phrase, prescribed by ancient ritual. He stated the powers of the throne, an office he would assume when the sun reached its zenith in an hour's time. Each phrase spoke of the fealty of the realm to the king, of the king's power of high and low justice, of the treasury and the tax, the gaol and the axe. All these powers he took to himself, king of the land.
Every seventeenth step, he assumed a piece of regalia, taking ancient advice from a member of his staff. A cloak from the steward of his castle, and the advice "Let your law settle lightly on the people, and they will wear it well." A key from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who said "Tax lightly in peace, so your people will stay rich." An orb from the Justicer; "Judge innocence and guilt carefully, and execute with a heavy heart; heads, once doffed, are not lightly returned." A scepter from the General of his armies, and the admonishment that "Wars ruin lands and slay your subjects, but give no ground to conquerors." From his queen, grave in her youth and pale in her wedding gown, he received his crown. "Be king, and father of kings. Uneasy rests the kingdom without an heir; uneasy rests the king who raises his heir to sloth and ignorance."
King Frederick knelt a moment before the throne. In a phrasing so old that none knew the origin, he stood before assembled throng, noble and common alike, and intoned an ancient oath.
"I am Frederick, son of John, son of Dean, son of Brian, King of Rhye. I pledge myself to the prosperity of the realm and the safety of its people. I will give justice to those wronged, comfort to those bereaved, and uphold the rights of peers of the realm and all those who uphold it. I pledge to this by my Life, my Fortune, and my sacred Honor."
As he settled onto the throne, the noontide sun shone down upon the land, and a roar rose throughout the hall, the city, and the kingdom. It was a roar of a free people, whose freedom would flow from the throne for another generation.
Regomancy is the magic of kingship. Wielding it, a monarch can bring victory to his armies, prosperity to his realm, and obedience to his laws. In practice, it is an art of ritual; formulas which must be strictly followed to be successful. It draws its strength from the regard of the people for their king; their love for a good king, or their fear of a cruel one. Its effects, however, are subtle; people of a regomantic land do not become mindless zombies, unable to disobey their lord. Instead, the realm itself comes to obey the monarch, bringing forth prosperity, even in times of hardship.

Re: Clowns
My God Mark, you may finally have written something I won't be able to read. I'm one of those rare people who has an over riding and frankly debilitating fear of clowns. My whole family know of it and my children love to torment me with it. But I hate clowns. HATE THEM! Still, if you wrote it, I'm sure it's good.

I'm going to be submitting it to the Rifter. I need to spend a bit editing it, still, but the draft is done.
I find I submit about one article per Rifter.

Palladium already has the clown guild established. So, it's not a stretch.
Remember, this isn't all about historical accuracy, so much as GAME WORLD ACCURACY!
As gamers, we can do what we want with our worlds
And, furthermore, a brief check on the history of clowning tells us:
The art of clowning has existed for thousands of years. A pygmy clown performed as a jester in the court of Pharaoh Dadkeri-Assi during Egypt’s Fifth Dynasty about 2500 B.C. Court jesters have performed in China since 1818 B.C. Throughout history most cultures have had clowns.
You can find out more about the real history at:
http://www.clown-ministry.com/index_1.p ... _bruce_jo/
Now, that said, I have always supported clowns in fantasy rpg's... they bring levity, smiles, and shudders of fear.
Clowns zombie ninja assassins from mars... now THAT is something to fear!

Hand to hand martial arts (most jesters should be top pyshical shape and in control of thir bodies)
Here are the skills I think most should have.
you could have several types of jesters. A standard preformer, sure (boring). But years ago I played a jester in another game who was secretly in love with the groups Female paladin since they were children. She was the daugther of one of the nobles in the court and my character was the child of the court jester. Following in his fathers foot steps he mastered the arts of his profession and then learned some combat skills. He focused his skills in hand to hand and small weapons that he could hide. And when she was of age and ready for her first assignment from the church my character was ready and enlisted as her personal entertainer and secret body guard. It was tons of fun to role play, because our DM/GM and I did not tell others my character was in love with her. They only knew we knew each other from court. So there could be multible styles of Jesters. Body guards, much like a true bard of old.
Well men if we are destine to die, let us die with honor

Why couldn't you have written an article about... oh, I don't know... vampire hookers? Now THAT would have been a good read!
'Cause your mom wouldn't give me any quotes.
Oddly enough, though, I've been thinking about Gygax's "Wandering Prostitute" table...
I can't believe you went there!
Okay... yes I can.

Re: Clowns
The thread has gone on this long and no Insane Clown jokes? I am truly disappointed in you all, especially Mark. After the disappointment I just can't bring myself to stat out my Spraying Flower of Giggles for the Rifter.
In reality I also fall into the category of those who suffer from coulrophobia. My mother always blamed it on my dad taking me to a screening of a Cheech and Chong movie when I was a small child. It still haunts me in the quiet space inside my head:)

There's no ICP jokes for the same reason there's no jokes about cabbage futures: They're not funny. They're not interesting. They're, at best, stupid and pointless.

Re: Clowns
Congrats Mark! Just think now once this article is published we can have actual organized clown hunts!

Re: Clowns
Oh Mark, you may have made my dreams come true. Depending on the direction you take visually with the clowns, I may have to buy it, which I shouldn't right now

Wait. WHY DID YOU DO THIS? BEGONE FOUL NECROMANCER!
Seriously. If you're going to pull a thread from four years ago, have the decency to announce you're doing so.
