New uses for RPG figures

[watervole]

I'm trying my hand at writing morris dances again.  Our side could use a new four person dance so I'm looking at options.
It's so much easier to keep track of moves if you use different looking figures for the dancers.

So, the half giant and the dwarf do half a right hand turn, while the magician and the warrior swop places going anti-clockwise.

The joy of this method is that it's really easy to tell when everyone has got back to their starting places as I cunningly began with all the dancers arranged in order of height.

Yeah, video with music! :-)

I can just imagine what Terry Pratchett would do with the idea of Detritus in a morris side.

I can see Detritus in a Cotswold or Border stick dance... There'd be bits of wood flying all over hte place!

I can see this going terribly wrong, though...

"No, no, Darlings! The Dwarf and the Orc link arms and dance through the middle of the other two, the Dwarf does NOT try to hack the Orc's head off with his axe! Now, please, let's try it again..."
