A bbeg searching desperately for a cure for lycanthropy, so that he stops being a goody two-shoes every full moon, and ruining his plans.

wakes up from turning to find that he's released the heroes he captured, healed their wounds, mended their gear, and sent them off on their way with a few loaves of banana bread he baked for them "GOD DAMMIT"

Sort of a Jekyll and Hyde situation.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Except in this version, Dr Jekyll is less a severely irresponsible chemist and more of a medical doctor who likes baking and doesn't let bananas go to waste.

Other way around. Jekyll is a classic mad scientist, and he secretly transforms into Ned Flanders.

It's kinda cool that on full moons a good creature keeps showing up and aiding the heroes and thwarting the BBEGs lieutenants, and it turns out it's the BBEG who can't remember doing it; It's a good way to color them an nuanced and not entirely evil while still hamming up the campy villainy the rest of the time.

This was an episode of American Dad lol.

[–] eighty@lemmy.one 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

remind what episode? I can't recall

[–] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 7 points 8 months ago

"Cock of the Sleepwalk" - Episode 11, Season 9 or 10 (I'm getting different results in Google, it's very confusing).

Here's him waking up at the orphanage.

Then you have a huge propaganda campaign by a corrupt lord to stop all lycanthropy and flush out the werebears

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 34 points 8 months ago (3 children)

And heroes who are doing everything they can to spread werebear lycanthropy far and wide. Biting the corrupt lord is the win condition.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 32 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Biting the corrupt lord is the win condition

Just like real life!

The werebears object to the plan because that's chaotic good

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 8 months ago

the will of the people must make it lawful

"And thats why we all eat honey and knock over eachother's trash cans at the monthly Care Festival!"

[–] Khrux@ttrpg.network 4 points 8 months ago

I've often thought that an all werebear society is the optimal decision for both werebears and society. It's not a curse at all, it's a blessing. Werebears would want people to act like them while the average person would want to have good compulsions and be far more powerful on top of that.

Made me think of Daniel Tosh's bit about polite tourette's. An uncontrollable impulse, but pleasant.

[–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 10 points 8 months ago

Lovely HAT!

[–] TheThunderWolf@thelemmy.club 13 points 8 months ago

definitely canon to my campaign
