Inspiration

What or who is Delinon?

Delinon’s Cheese Race is an idea born from a D&D game I’m playing with a bunch of my friends.
Delinon is more of a “where”. It’s a large city our party were traveling to.
Getting closer to town, we saw banners, and a large crowd getting prepared and cheering.
Our Imaginative DM was inspired to create this race by two things:

  1. Copper’s Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake. An ACTUAL race were a cheese is rolled down hill and people tumble, roll, scrape, and bend twards it, or to wherever gravity pulls.
  2. A random moment where I told him: “Hey man, hold my cheese”.

Who are the characters named in the initial goals?

Our D&D party of course! Our party members are:

  1. Shadow – A prank loving black tabaxi cleric of Selune
  2. Reish – A too smart for his own good human artificer
  3. Cricket – A timid earth genasi rogue
  4. Servaas – A loyal Human/Orc barbarian
  5. Bree-Ann (Me) – A sad genius human wizard

My character, Bree-Ann was the only one not elisted in the race. Instead, I stood on the sidelines, making terrible cheese-puns. The single time I was handed a dice, my DM had me roll for the NPC who was one step away from the finish line… I rolled a 20. They won, we lost, it was epic and we’ll never forget nor shall we forgive.

In a manner, this game is our last chance of retribution.
