  • Step one to being a Bounty Hunter: have no warrants or serious criminal charges/convictions of your own.

    Step two: Avoid crossing jurisdictions at all costs.

    Step three: survive a free person yourself long enough to realize that being a repo-man is far safer or at least less likely to get you extradited for all those times you broke rule two. Maybe you’ll even survive this long enough to graduate to Security Guard, Body Guard or an even more legitimate profession like literally anything else.

    Side note: most of these people would still make better cops than most cops. The Dead in “Dead or Alive” is almost never profitable any more.







  • Quest For Glory(not really D&D, but old) had them as a Grey, Pot-bellied, lanky, human-heightish, short-eared magical Goblinoid(holy shit: Endermen?). I never encountered any refference to them in western literature with either dog features or lizard tails or scales until some of the more recent Forgotten Realms books; Their presence always seemed like an after-thought. I mostly read the D&D novels though.

    Never occoured to me that any dog-people I saw in anime or manga were kobolds, nor that those came into Japanese media through D&D, but un-like D&D, a lot of them were named characters that did stuff.

    Still haven’t seen a depiction of a lizard-Kobold. Sounds more like a Dragon-born pet.


  • Idk, any more, my one kid(15) is too often telling me stuff he and others did wrong together that his mother and I have to stop him mid-sentence to ask “in what world would we want you to tell us about this unless you or others got hurt or need an alibi? Why would you tell us this in front of your little sister?”

    We should have been so much harsher with his earlier mistakes, like our parents were with us, I tell you.
