Sing a Song!

Lately I've been trying to think of all the different instance I would need a good Bard song and I can't think of that many...

• Fights (OBVIOUSLY)
• Victory for fights and accomplishments
• Tavern songs
• Little Diddies

I'd really like to incorporate puns and word play, but I'm worried I might be thinking about it too much and making it more complicated than it should be, lol.

"Welcome to the Tavern Calimora. Such a lovely place, such a lovely face..." 

Scenes behind the Bard

"Why did you pick a Bard??" you may ask. WELL, here's my explanation:

I've recently starting reading Fantasy books again and have acquired some that when I read it, it feels like I'm reading a long D&D game story! Love it!

So far I've only gotten to the first Robert Jordan book, 'The Eye of the World.' In the story there's a Gleeman named Thom Merrilin who's a fantastic story-teller, plays the flute and harp, and juggles. He's a very entertaining character and he's the reason why I've decided to start looking at Bards.

"But why a GNOME Bard???"

Gnomes are tricksters and always happy in what they do. I'm still feeling out how I want my Bard's characteristics to be like, but so for he's a 'fresh-out-of-the-village' traveler who's only been away from home for about 2 years. Now 2 years isn't very long for a Gnome since they can live well into their 300's, so he's still very young.

I've never played a Bard and I love musicals and singing, so what the hell, I'll give this a shot!

Bard: The Musical

I'm currently trying to figure out what kind of songs I can use at times of need. So far I've got the idea of using 'Hotel California' as a great song for finding or journey-ing to an Inn/Tavern.

I'm trying to Google Bard songs for some inspiration... so far there are some sites that are helpful. Parodies seem more likely since I'm not that great at writing lyrics. I'm super stoked!

Beginnings

I've recently began playing Dungeons & Dragons with a bunch of friends. I've really enjoyed playing and decided to create a blog on the ventures from my newly created Gnome Bard.
