Adventures Wanted 2

[ffutures]

How could I have forgotten this? The other game I'm planning to run this weekend is a Diana: Warrior Princess variant Elvis, the Legendary Tours. I have the same problem of needing up to six characters for the adventure.

I know that three of them will be Elvis, a bard searching for the lost magical Land of Grace, and his sidekicks Vlad Lennon and "Senator" Joe McCartney. I need three more, all of Guest Star status (e.g. moderately powerful).

The setting will probably be a mythologised America, so one possibility is riverboat gambler Wild Bill Gates, but I think something with more musical relevance would be better. For the convention game I might nick the idea of a druid variant of Buddy Holly from Pratchett, but that's not going to be something I can write up for publication.

So - any quick ideas on this? Need to get the characters written up and printed out today!

I'll post the list and stats of the Forgotten Futures characters later today - still writing them up.

Oooh, I like!

You could just compress it to Doc Holliday, and smoosh Bille and Doc together, a la Louis Pasteur (who would also make a good character for this sort of thing).

I do like the idea of having both of them, but I suppose you could use the ambiguity of the name Billie (girls name if spelt that way, but usually thought of as a boys name) and have it as Billy "Doc" Holliday, a male jazz singer with healing powers.
