I know! I know! I've been busy... and stuff... for decades...
The situation came to a head when my shame was revealed and I was nearly cast out into the outer darkness!
But! I was given a second chance! I dashed off, like ripples of paradox spread out across the sea of causality, and read The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic. Of no particular surprise to anyone, I loved both books!
The characters! The setting! The... words!
Oh those words... and the delicious order in which they are written...
Mmmmmmm.....
Oh! Right! Painting!
So, what follows has a minor spoiler for The Colour of Magic. It's really just the existence of a single character. No plot points or anything like that. But, if you really don't want to know anything about The Colour of Magic, then stop reading this, and go read that.
Ok, there is a character called The Luggage. It's a sapient chest which accompanies some of the other characters, skittering about on its many crab legs, carrying things inside itself, and generally being phenomenally useful. I immediately fell in love with this concept and decided that The Luggage must be introduced into the D&D campaign that I run for my kids.
But, where to get the miniature? I must have a miniature!
(Thank you, by the way, for the many suggestions of counselors to help me get over this miniature issue... But, I'm afraid, I'm too old to change. Besides, the counselors all said that the miniature thing is the least of my problems...)
Happily a solution has been found! I present to you, the Reaper Bones Mind Eater (77229) and the Reaper Bones Mocking Beast (77048).
Later in the week, we'll do some modifications and see if we can get ourselves something not entirely unlike... The Luggage!
