Once upon a time, Marvel had a series asking "What if?" From the trivial such as "What if the Fantastic Four had different super-powers?" To the Unexpected such as "What if Conan the Barbarian walked the earth today?" Now I wish to ask the same here. I make this thread so we can, in turn, ask "What if?" About Dice Funk. of course you don't need to ask "what if (insert idea here)" necessarily that is just for context. But Here we can theorize and speculate on what could have happened in the canon, So Let your Imagination go wild, Respect each other, and Try to keep The more "spoilery" parts hidden (since not everyone might have seen it). I will ask the first question myself
What if... -Leon played Bill Webb in season 3? -The party chose to fight Zavala at the end of season 2? -There was a fourth Gorfinax book in the Stoneroot library that explained the orb and fang?
{Get spoiled!}It'd be interesting to see Bumbershoot attempt to suck a skeleton's blood XD. It seems like the mask creates an illusory body, which I guess is fleshy enough to allow speech, but... would it have blood??
So, if Bumbers went after Garic and wasn't killed by the snowflake ice god (& his Hydra buddy... wait, no, he didn't have that yet), I don't know if the time grenade would have come into play in that encounter and what that would have meant. Tracking down Garic would also be a quest in itself, since he didn't really have a known place of residence, I don't think... unless someone reported seeing him around the Wizard HutTM.
So I guess: Bumbershoot decides to go kill Garic, realizes he doesn't know where Garic lives, investigates (or gives up and goes for an easier target), finds Garic, ambushes him with his stealthy vampire skillz, tries to kill him, potentially removes the mask (barring time grenade intervention), AND, if he's somehow successful in all of that, solves the second murder mystery before the murder even took place XD

sometimes i wonder "what if drop had just fuckin died in ep 10 or whatever when the gang got stopped by a glittergold ship and drop coulda fallen and died off the mast"
im very glad he didnt die but it fucks me up like, it could be a more generalized question of "wtf wouldve happened if johnny had 2 make a second character that early in the campaign"
many what ifs that are very "this changes so much cant even guess"

I feel like at the time I would have accepted āDrop Droppedā as the ending to the fucked up poem of his personal history. Iām led to believe that Johnny has a pattern with his character creation, as he seems to gravitate towards making people with burdensome histories to explore how to go on living with those histories, so whoever would have come next seems unlikely to have been an āoptimistā.
{gently Spoilerish S1 note}Lord Earlin wasnāt a player character, but he was a Very Important Dude who had some real shit on his mind, so Iām using him as a reference point.
Iāve been curious what the next incarnation is going to look like, last word I heard about his new character was on the Shack podcast where he described them as either parallel to or drawing influence from Zoey and Bumbershoot. Which sounds like a threat. Iām very curious.
What if Bumbershoot suceeded in killing Mrs. Hawthorne and took her dragonbone staff?
That is the moment where he realizes "Oh crap, I don't actually know how to use this thing..." And then get slain by Rolen when he sees the staff. More serious answer: I assume that would be an interesting path to take since she never really interacted with a lot of people, so would anyone even notice if she was dead or not? (Max would, obviously, but I'm talking about the living here.)
Locob0: its been almost a year since word funk went on a indefinate hiatus, i still miss it it was the highlight of my week and it kept me happy
