Harry Dresden: heavy breathing
Polka will never die!
I love Butcher getting mad at people saying Harry is his self insert, saying it’s actually Butters, then giving Butters two hot girlfriends, a lightsaber, and a rocket skateboard.
This is why you make friends with an artificer.
Pro tip: save on encumbrance by ditching the staff and just using the shotgun
Just make the wood stock into a wand, now you have a shotgun that can cast magic missiles for long range targets.
Parry this you fucking casual
A recurrent gag in the chinese novel when a mage revolts is that the mc often figths other mages that have anti magic talismans or are messing with his casting so he shoots them with a flintlock
When the Order of Hermes takes design cues from the Society of Ether.
ayy Ars Magica
I was more intending Mage the Ascension but Ars Magica works too. They were both initially created by the same company
The best way to play a D&D artificer in Mage.
“… and that’s why I got a new wand with a shotgun. But enough of me. How did you say was your wand called again?”
“LGM-30 Minuteman”
“That’s a weird name for an even weirder wand. I mean… it’s huge… compensate much?”
“Go on, joke all you want. One day, you’ll see.” deranged laughter
Key to the city, baby.
And this is why my DM made an enormous mistake, giving my wizard (with a familiar) a ring of spell storing.
My wizard: Fireball!
Enemy wizard: Hahahah counterspell!
Nick the owl: Hoot hoot ho-hoot hoot! (Translation: counter-counterspell up your cloaca you absolute son of a cuckoo!)
Enemy wizard: Well, OK. Still, I made my saving throw!
My wizard: Hm… care to try again? (Silvery barbs.)
Enemy wizard: Uh… *explodes*
Being able to take two reactions or concentrate on two spells is a tiny bit gamebreaking.
