Rakdos Troupe 01: All the World is a Circus

I wanted to create a small wandering troupe of Rakdos entertainers that travel throughout Ravnica that my party will encounter. So I present to you:

Harryhost's Band of Thieves and Vagabonds

I wanted to focus on really fleshing out the look and feel of a traveling troop of the Cult of Rakdos would be like. So I focused on the following items:

• Troop Members
• Character NOTES
• Terrain
• Acts
• Audience

Listed below are my thoughts on each of these points:

Troop Members:

I wanted a separation from the card carrying cultists and their minions.

Character NOTES:

I felt there there should be a few general traits that each character should have that could tie them back to the world writ large.

Terrain:

There is only one company that I have found (thus far) that sells 28mm Circus Terrain. I will be picking some up soon.

That company is Plastcraft Games. You can find the Circus pieces here:

Acts:

I have seen Circe De Soli a few times and I noticed how although there was a story there were specific acts throughout hte show. Some of those characters appeared once in a while and others were recurring, i.e. the "Stars" of the show.

I am looking at the acts from the following perspective:
1- The Ringmaster (Hallowhost) is the Narrator.
2- The Necromancer is the star of the Circus.
3- The Fire Eater Is the second in Command, and controls the giants
4- There should be some audience participation.
5-I want Distinct Acts to happen throughout the show.

Audience:

Few rules about the Audience:
1- No Kids. Seriously. Its unfair. Nuff said.
2- No Uber powerful members of the audience. There are specific exceptions to this but they should be planned.
3- Everyone loves a good show.

In a nut shell that is it. Now it is just a matter of gathering the miniatures to make this happen and getting them painted, Then Getting the terrain assembled.
