Im very interested, however I can’t commit until I receive my volunteer schedule. Im very likely to be on the day shift though.


Too bad Belinda’s got dibs on barbarian. My version would be a Goth. :)

This first image is a WEBP and I don't think it will display properly here on the forums, so here's a link to it .

This could also be fun:

I am going to offer up a different idea for Barbarian. The classical civilization degree is going to get some use for this one so I don't except it to get used. The word barbarian comes from the greek barbaros or βάρβαρος meaning foreign or not speaking Greek. Thought to be because it sounded to the greeks that foreigners were saying Bar Bar. So pick a language you know that the rest of the group doesn't know and use it and pretend to not understand English. I can see this play out in my head when an adventure group goes to get a "Barbarian" and are directed to a Italian Baker or a French Hairdresser. The "Barbarian" doesn't know that they are thought to be the muscle of the group and the group doesn't know that the "Barbarian" is just ordinary person that they cannot understand. Again I don't know that anyone else would get the joke but it is what I think of when I think of Barbarian.
You either discover a star or you don't. You arrogant punk.

Druid could be Spider-Man; polymorph into giant spider and throw tanglefoot bags.

Or druid could be Aang or Korra...or any bender if you limit to a single element.

Cleric could play as an office/clerical worker.

Paladin...pal...buddy...Buddy Jesus.

And has nobody mentioned the Power Rangers for ranger yet?

Rogue can go for Rogue from X-Men. Or play on the common misspelling and be someone from Moulin Rouge.
this is not a signature.

I don’t have a classics degree but am aware of this definition of Barbarian—I confess I had thought of this, but wasn’t sure how to translate it.

You all really are quite clever.

When I first thought Barbarian, I thought Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Rogue should totally wear a striped shirt and a black eye mask like the thieves in Christmas Story.
A burlap bag with $$$ on it to complete the ensemble.
Wir sind Glücksritter
Wir stürzen die Tyrannen

I had thought of something from Moulin Rouge for rogue as well :)
Power Ranger is a great idea as well.

If someone went cleric-al - Milton from Office Space comes to mind. I even have a red swingline stapler.

The earlier comment on Barbarian essentially meaning foreigner is interesting. I wasn't aware of the etymology of it but it makes sense. I recently re-read Wise Man's Fear. The Adem referring to people from the Four Corners as "Barbarians" due to a lack of understanding the language (and not understanding the Lethani). That would fit as well.

So far, my favorite suggestions are:
Barbie-rain
Power Rangers
Moulin Rouge
Masked "mexican style" wresters for fighters (or, alternatively, Randy "Macho Man" Savage)
Spider-Man for druid

-I still like my televangelist cleric between the ridiculous costume and smacking people on the head while shouting "demon be gone!" to heal them. Cleric-al is really good, though.

The only odd variant of Wizard I could come up with I'm not sure would work as a costume. I was thinking Pinball Wizard.
Elf Wizard has some options as well (santa's elves, elf on a shelf, etc.)
Dwarf is tricky without being insulting or just repeating the fighter theme. Maybe an Oompa-Loompa? It would make for interesting taunts.
