I've mentioned Norm Dingleberry a few time, most recently the session where the Burning Trogs escorted an aged and powerful version to a peace negotiation. That wasn't always Norm we grew to love.
Norm was an incomptent mushroom farmer who had been kicked off his land for not sustaining his crop. Grabbing a neighbor's battle axe, he wandered around Georic. When I offered to expand the college campaign in college I ran The Shattered Circle, and Norm debuted in it. He was God awful. Ultimately, he managed to sneak off to Talislanta by questionable conveyance, rocked that world, and was the sole surviving member of the heroes of destiny who were to recover the ancient artifacts of White Plume Mountain. Mind you , Echellon came back, but for a while, the saviour of the universe was a nose picking uneducated failed Mushroom farmer.
