My D&D tribute to Alan Rickman

[Jay R]

I’m designing a character for a new D&D 3.5E game. He will be a gnome, named Gwystyl. I had already decided that he would have an ancestral relic - a traditional gnome's weapon called a hooked hammer. The DM and I are creating its history together, so he can use it while developing adventures. [A hooked hammer is a weapon with a hammerhead on one end and a plothook on the other.]

That was already established when I heard of Alan Rickman’s untimely death. So the history of the weapon is that Gwystyl’s ancestor Grabthar used it to win a great battle, in an alliance with the dwarven king Warvan and his sons.

Someday, when it’s appropriate, after Gwystyl learns the history of his weapon, he is going to swear, “By Grabthar’s hammer, by the sons of Warvan, you shall be avenged!”

When this news is a bummer of the highest order.

…of course that gives me the desire to make such a weapon a spoon.

We must do what we can to remember him. I approve!

I never thought anything even remotely worthwhile would come out of that movie. Well played!
