I'm going to have to read this through again. You know, for old times sake
You know, I looked this thread up again to quote from it (the bit where Wulf brains the medusa with a sack of pennies) for a discussion in Rules. Then wound up re-reading large portions of it and completely neglecting to get the quote I came for.

I honestly don't recall. A betting man would get decent odds on Karak, being Karak, not caring all that much. What-- let roleplaying get in the way of wielding a holy sword?
True. There is so much symbolism in that sword, too, should he actually have kept and enchanted it as a holy blade. Blazing with holy power, but with a core of Baatorian steel. It describes Karak as well as his weapon. A wonderfully insightful gift on Wulf's part.

I do my best to add a little bit of that ol' Wulfy goodness to PCs game, just in case it ends up in his story hour. The new character doesn't have Wulf's mean streak or machiavellian tendencies, but he does share the same cynical sense of humor.
Cause, you know, that's just me. I could play a female character more readily and convincingly than I could play any character without my own sense of humor...
heh.
It's not so much the character I miss, as it is your unique storytelling style, that brought that character so vividly to life. I love PC's story hour because I wish I were playing in the game. I love Sepulchrave's story hour because it engages me intellectually. And I love Sagiro's game because I can imagine the novelisation.
But only your story hour made me feel like I really
know the main character. You had characterization down to a science, and I know Wulf better than any other story hour character.
Stone Bear may have your humor at the table and be just as well-characterized, but the fact that we never get into his head and see what makes him tick, that he's
not the lens through which we see all the action, means I'll never know him as well as Wulf, nor does your sense of humor shine through as well.
Ah, well. It was great while it lasted, Wulf. Truly great.
