Why No Love for Drandle Drang?! - The Inner Sea Shunning


Pathfinder Society

The Exchange 4/5

Speaking of which, I'm pissed that in the Inner Sea Campaign Guide, VC Drandle Drang is not listed as a prominent member in the leadership structure box on pg. 268, but then you have VC's I've never even heard of. Out of the 30 scenarios I've played, I'm almost certain I've ran into Drandle more than any other VC. That's a load of crap and I demand more love for the Drang (I even have a great voice for him when I roleplay as him)! How could you not even recognize the VC who always sends you off into the Blakros Museum?

Not always. I just ran Mists of Mwangi last weekend and they updated it with a picture Adril Hestram's smiling mug since he's the one that sends you to your most certain death.

Fair enough, Hestram sends you too but Drang > Hestram.

/BTW, apparently Drang used to spell his last name Drenge.

I expect that Drandle's advanced age and rapidly declining health has caused the author of The Inner Sea World Guide to leave his name off the list. The tome is meant as a reference for Pathfinders everywhere, presumably for many years (or generations) and it would not surprise me if Mr. Dreng is preparing to retire.

Perhaps he will receive an honorary entry into the Chronicles. Sort of a life-time achievement award.

Or maybe he asked not to be included. Having your name published attracts hero-worship and can lead to stalkings. We don't really want any undesirable characters hanging around the Lodge do we? Well, no non-members at least ;-)

The most recent mod I have lists his name as D.R.E.N.G. so I assume that is the correct spelling. Perhaps the authors of his previous entries (i.e. season zero) were in error. I assume they were flogged for such a mistake regarding such a honored leader of the society.

He did, in fact, ask for it to be removed. By taking his name from the list of important venture-captains it makes him seem less important.

Therefore, less folk suspect him of being the member of the Decemvirate that he is!

I take that back, Hestram might be more badass than Dreng because he's appeared in more scenarios. But Dreng is definitely #2.

/Drandle has had his last name spelled 3 different ways.
//Drenge - Dreng - Drang
///Although upon further inspection, Drang looks to be a typo.

She's up there in how many scenarios she's been in (but not as much as Dreng), AND she's been given love by being listed in the Inner World Guide.

/Dreng deserves better!

Still a fan of Baron Taco myself.

I wish Kaigon the Miscreant would make an appearance in a scenario. I like his "edge." But since he's not a Venture Captain (to my knowledge), guess I'll have to submit a proposal if he's to get any publicity. :-)

Perhaps it's because he keeps waking society members up in the middle of the night for suicide miss-I mean, urgent quests.

Suicide missions? I sure wish someone would write one of those for a PFS module. It'd be fun to have a challenge.

I am still waiting for "The Beggar" to reveal his secret identity.

I have sat at your table Kyle and it has been one of the highlights of my PFS playing career. If you get a table at Gen Con comprised solely of the people on the boards that complain the mods are too easy, I think you will give them a good education and fun will be had by all.

1) Thanks!

2) I hope that every player at every table I run at Gen Con has fun, regardless of player type.
3) You're probably right.
4) There ARE scenarios that even the best GM can't make challenging (regarding combat only)
5) FIREBALL!:
It's really a soft-shell taco.

All part of the cruel conspiracy of misinformation and slander that poor Drang has to put up with. Including the intentional maligning of what his name actually is!

I thought it was three different guys who wound up with nearly identical names and working at the same place. Just a weird set of coincidences that let to some massive confusion.

I imagine at the lodge they just call them Drandle 1, Drandle 2, and Drandle 3 to avoid confusion.

Drandle Dreng is getting some love in the Pathfinder Society Field Guide. As part of the research that went into that book, we've also managed to miraculously codify the spelling of his name.

Is that why in Seeker of Secrets his name is Declan Dreng?

/4th spelling of Dreng's name.

No, the "Declan" thing was an entirely different issue.

LOL. When he's the VC in a scenario my hand-out for him lists his name as Declan "Drandle" Dreng. Those who know him call him Drandle, only his mother ever called him Declan.
