Regdar by Todd Lockwood

Round 4 Poll 1 (For Real This Time)

Team Science!:　「goofy ass song about goofy ass mad scientists doing questionable time machine experiments. a very silly and very "three dudes in a bedroom made this" sound.」

You're In My Thoughts:　「Well. First of all it's very very good. The spoken lyrics and yelling background vocals are like heaven to me. And then it switches to the chorus and it extends this note that feels like it doesn't quite finish before being dropped, which leaves you feeling a sort of musical inertia when you move into the next part of the song. After another spoken part, the vocals stop and then there's guitars that mimic and play off each other, which is definitely one of my favorite parts in the song. It's very catchy. It's definitely one of those songs that you can feel when you sing.」

The House of God：　「IT IS ABOUT A HOUSE THAT IS A GOD THAT IS A FLESH HOUSE!!! HOROR!!! BRILLIANT LYRICS AND MINOR STORYTELLING!!!! IT'S PART OF A SERIES OF SONGS!! IT IS A HOUSE!!!!!」

katch’ka and regdar are truly bi4bi violence every time they’re in a conversation together

So I'm making a Starship Troopers playlist in an attempt to capture the emotion I experienced upon watching the film for the first time having read the book 9+ times.

I'm adding a bit of 3rd Edition era Greyhawk to my Four Against Darkness adventure. Tonight, Jozan the Cleric, Nuall the Wizard, Kerwyn the Rogue, and Regdar the Fighter discover a puzzle room beneath Castle Greyhawk. The yellow chip denotes that Nuall the Wizard is holding the torch.

New Q&A and motherfucking Regdar is back!

Regdar Bridger

The many deaths of Regdar, the iconic D&D Fighter.

Monte Cook writes:

When I worked at TSR, there was always basically a truism in cover art--the central figure had to be a white male. Most of us actually helping to create the cover art, either by conceiving it or actually creating it, hated that kind of outlook, but the powers that be believed that our audience was entirely white males and they needed someone that they could identify with on the cover.

So, when D&D was bought by WotC and we started working on 3E, we really felt that this was a time when we could break this mold. We worked with the artists to create iconic characters of different ethnicities (both in appearance and in name) and with equal representation of male and female. At some point in the process, someone said, "hey, you don't have a male human fighter in the mix.

It was a thumb to the nose of the old TSR requirement. Because, sadly, the people who noted that there was no "male human fighter" were basically saying "white human male fighter." It was our intention that while humans would be multi-ethnic, nonhumans were just that. So Tordek wasn't a white dwarf or a black dwarf, he was just a dwarf. So the core fighter wasn't a white guy. At least that was our intention.

Regdar intruded his way into 3E, empowered by marketing and sales people. At the last minute, in a matter of just those few short weeks, the old TSR standard reared its ugly head. Not only was Regdar on the scene, he was in the spotlight. This was the character that would be on the cardboard standees and other promotional items, and would usually take center stage in the covers. I was caught entirely off-guard and was far too late to even comment on him. Now, to his credit, the initial Regdar artist, Todd Lockwood, made Regdar's ethnicity kind of vague. (Regdar had shown up in Todd's earlier sketches when he designed the look of 3E armor.) It's only in later artwork that Regdar seems to be pretty clearly the white male fighter we tried to avoid. And to the credit of a number of people--artists, art directors, designers and editors alike--our disdain for Regdar made its way into a lot of art. If you look closely, Regdar is getting thrashed on most of the early pieces he shows up in. (Look for his ignominious fate on the original DM's Screen, for example.)

Spoiler Alert is a 2013 choose your own adventure album by Regdar and the Fighters, which takes you on a journey through multiple sci-fi worlds across time and space. It was originally available on Spotify, amazon music, iTunes/apple music and youtube, as well as a CD. 

Of those, only the youtube playlist is still available. The problem with this is that, as it's a choose your own adventure album, which originally relied on the annotations directing you between videos, and YouTube has got rid of annotations, the album doesn't work as intended.

Which is why I've uploaded it as a full album. (minus the bonus track. Sorry, but that doesn't seem to be on YouTube)

If you watch it on YouTube you should be able to click on the correct timestamps to journey through the album.

Dude Quest:

Me llena de orgullo y satisfacción haber terminado, por fin un proyecto. Con Lidda y Regdar ya he terminado mi segunda caja de Dungeons and Dragons de Parker. Bichos y héroes. Todo pintadito. 😄

Remember Regdar? This is the prelim drawing for him. He was meant to be the iconic fighter for 3rd edition Dungeons and Dragons until Tordek took over. I remember having to do this painting with a jeweler’s loop when they told me it would be printed life size. #dnd #art #instaart #instaartist #painting #dungeon #dragon #sword #shield #drawing #illustration
