#thoney

I’m glad! Thoney is good times, also a weirdly elusive character for the fans. I remember when the episodes with Thoney came out people were like “I picture Thoney as iron man” and I was like… HOW?

apparently in comics at the time Tony Stark was director of shield, so people were like “A guy named T[h]on[e]y who has a flying ship, I see what you did there, nudge nudge doublewink” and I’m like... HOW?

Rob was only tapping into a bigger vein. None of the people who have told me they thought Thoney was a gnome justified it with “Rob said so.”

It’s a fundamental issue of the medium. Sometimes you can describe something a thousand times and the players (and in this case listeners) will add or change things to match their expectations. There’s an episode in Celestial Crusade where I describe a dome-like structure but one of the players keeps calling it a tower. I explain to him that it’s not a tower, but it does not penetrate. I think the word “tower” even made it onto the episode title.

I got a thousand of these. I played a triceratops man once who I described several times as having black scales, but the GM had it in his head that he was green. And so, eventually I just made him green, because I wasn’t that attached to the black scales (and it was harder to draw).

The underdark wars started about 51 years prior to the Lunar Event. You might be thinking of the war of talons, which started 120-ish years before the Lunar event.
