Good Taste! Songs from a Starving Land

Post by IanFordam »

The Lady Fordam has never participated in our particular hobby, but she listens very patiently when I ramble about it. Somehow, though, she has gotten the impression that every Ravenloft adventure involves singing and dancing, or at the very least she thinks it should. Although she has not yet broken me down, nonetheless there was one night when she made some (very deliberately) tacky suggestion for how I might handle whatever plot obstacle I was currently wrestling in Circle of Darkness. I no longer recall what her suggestion was, but I recall the conversation which followed:

"That wouldn't be in good taste," I replied.

"THAT'S IT!" she exclaimed. "That's the title!"

"Of what?"

"Your G'Hennan musical!"

In honor of the day, I bring you a sneak preview of "Good Taste! Songs from a Starving Land". Coming soon to the Peacutters' Chorus theater in Viaki.

Incidentally, I should give credit where it is due. The funny bits came from the Lady Fordam and my friend Wix. The rest is mine.

They’re all quite funny imo! Feels like I woke up to Disney’s take on Ravenloft (after a nightmare where they bought WotC this increasing their rather unfairly large market share). Is Yagno’s voice deep or nasally?

And I like this a bit more than the spam, though waking up to that was funny as well. Ah well, today’s the day for jokes so anything goes I suppose? I’m still not clicking a single link but I will admit I chuckled at “Castle Strahd”.

Yagno is a tenor but with a bit of a whine, unless, of course, he starts preaching and you fail your saving throw.

Malistroi sings bass. Think Oogie Boogie from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" or Hades from "Hadestown".
