Silly Mounts

I believe we should have silly mounts. Some suggestions are a player stuck in a gelatinous cube for a mount, kobolds pulling the player on a chariot, an Ogre that drags the player on the ground or carries the player under his arm. An Orc that has the player piggy back or sitting on his shoulders.

with how pc the world and, specifically everything DnD is; I doubt there will be anything with humanoids that can be interpreted as slavery in any way?
...but I love the gelatinous cube idea and I have always thought with all our dang horse a chariot would be cool...

Was meant to be more like the Ogre's have caught and captured the player and are dragging it around. That is what makes it silly and funny. In fact, you could make a condition that the player get the mount if they have been defeated by an Ogre or whatever defeated them.

I said chariot, but maybe rickshaw would be better.

i didn't think you meant it in any way and wasn't trying to suggest that. I'm just saying i don't think the powers that be will let anything like this get through in the day and age....i just don't think it will happen, not saying i don't enjoy your idea and/or the spirit of the suggestion.

Fun and unorthodox mounts, sure

Silly mounts...meh...at least no more silliness than what's already in the game.

Its not a very silly game, and I dont think it should become one.

What made D&D such a classic is it's modular design. The quest good intentions is about a wizard's invention gone wrong animating boxes. Pretty silly to me. The modular design allows for modules to appeal to everything and everyone. If you compare to Batman, Adam Smith's Batman is very campy and silly whereas the later Batman is more serious. Hollywood can't have both silly and serious in one movie simultaneously. Due to the modular design D&D can.

Let's keep imagination boundless. It works best that way even if it includes silliness.

Like I said, no more silliness than is already in the game

You can have some fun...just dont fall into the trap of saying "this thing that's already in the game is somewhat silly, therefore we should have this new thing that's ridiculously, jarringly silly"

I'd classify "ogre that drags you around mount" and "gelatinous cube you're stuck inside" as the latter

I would like a small, black allosaurus. No saddle. No reins. Same size as existing therapod mounts or even smaller. I do not need a mount that blocks access to things and causes problems for other players. Maybe some mottling in a slightly lighter gray.

If that is not possible, a black version of an existing therapod mount would be great. Again, no reins or saddle is required. If the reins and saddle need to be there, make them dark gray. The idea is to create a stealthy mount.

To my knowledge, the Cash Shop still will not take PayPal so put it in the Game Shop for 1,500 points. Making the mount a drop in a good quest pack is fine. Making the mount available for Astral Shards is fine. It could even be available for Glammerdust. Please do not make them $80 or $130 US. I want something now, not 5 years from now during a last chance sale.

I would also like a pure black horse with no harness or tack or trappings.

A flying horse mount would be great. The animal does not need to fly. She can spread her wings when gliding. The blue dragon wings are really neat. Make the flying horse work the same way. Pure white and pure black, both without harness, tack, and trappings, would be great.

Griffon as above.

I suppose these are all opposite the original suggestion--very basic, compact, not ostentatious--but that is what I want. That is what I want in outfits, too.

Signed. And the kobold should be pulling the player on a rickshaw.

You mean the enormous green blob isn't silly enough?
