Sorry for the late post. This one took a little longer than normal!
The winners of teh 2023 Popularity Contest are here! This year I decided to draw the top 10 characters (plus Modest) as D&D characters! Here’s the results:
Modest Medusa (Wizard)
1. Marah (Paladin)
2. Jenny (Warlock)
3. Meg (Fighter)
4. The Princess (Cleric)
5. Aunty Naga (Sorcerer)
6. Jake (Barbarian)
7. Ha Yoon (Ranger)
8. Ecksbocks (Druid)
9. Deb (Rogue)
10. Ms. Booth (Bard)
Some surprises this year. Jenny and Marah actually tied for 1st place! Jenny has been a pretty contentious character for years, but it seems like you’re all warming up to her. The Princess makes her debut in 4th place, a strong showing for a character we haven’t really seen much of. Naga continues to be a favorite, even though we haven’t seen her for a few hundred pages. Esckbocks is the only Medusa sister to make teh list, edging out the ever popular Glados and Raccoon. Ha Yoon and Deb both make the list for the first time. No Pi-Rats of any kind this year, for the first time ever!
Yay! Deb’s face got healed! Mermaid Magic!
I figured if this is D&D theres plenty of healing or illusion magic.
Don’t Rangers usually pack bows and arrows? Or is that just Elven rangers? Also, given her timid personality, I find it hard to believe Ha Yoon would ever go on such an adventure unless literally drug along!
Rangers also use swords.
Ha Yoon probably would have to be drug along. But of course, this is a D&D version of her. She’s probably a little more up for an adventure.
My guess is she’s being dragged along into an adventure that doesn’t take place in one of her favored terrains, most of her abilities are probably neutered because of it.
Rangers can technically use any weapon, but a lot of people steer toward archery with them since they’re one of like… two classes that can actually be GOOD at it.
Of course, certain editions tailoring their abilities to shoehorn them into an archery role doesn’t help…
