Captain Blood's Fireforge medieval thread. P31. Yet more Bobs!

[AKULA]

Nice additions Rich ... how about a labourer that is looking for work?

He could be called “Bob a job”

Jolly splendid collection of Bobs.

I feel oddly vindicated by this thread... 

Excellent work as always Richard, the bodger is a VERY ginger boy, isn't he? I'd be tempted to add a small child with a catapult, Bob the Boy...

I love stuff like this, so characterful, so of its setting, so individual and in game terms so utterly pointless...!

I feel oddly vindicated by this thread... 

Oh, Gawd! Not another bleedin' Bob!
 

[Malamute]

Oh, Gawd! Not another bleedin' Bob!
 

The original, one and only Sir Bob de Jolly.

You could do a dwarf,,, half a bob

You could do a dwarf,,, half a bob

Or 'Two-Bob', the schizophrenic...
 

[levied troop]

If they go raiding the neighbouring village for food you could call the scenario
“Bobbing for Apples”.

Oh, is that my coat?

[valleyboy]

Lovely
So where is Bob my uncle then?

[2010sunburst]

You could do a sailor, but he’d just be bobbing along….

Good to see so many LAF chums embracing the silliness

Thank you so much for all the ingenious / comic suggestions.

I do also have a list of about 100 other obscure / archaic / obvious medieval trades and occupations beginning with B. So plenty of scope yet when it comes to naming further Bobs!

Bob the backwasher, bear-baiter, bellows-mender, bender (yes really), bluffer, bowdler, bone-setter, beekeeper, bailiff, beadle, bottom captain, bunter and bummaree, all seem to offer distinct modelling possibilities

Fascinating stuff

Don't get me started on the Cs.

[Dr. Zombie]

I guess you should save Bob you uncle for the last of the bobs before you move on to another letter.

What a great site ….looking forward to Bob the belly builder…..

[Warboss Nick]

Lovely and hilarious additions 

Your modelling and painting keeps serving as an excellent motivation for my own little medieval project.

[Michi]

What a great site ….looking forward to Bob the belly builder…..

I was thinking ALMOST the same - still waiting for Bob the belly dancer...

At the risk of going overbobrd, Bob-a-Fat the overweight bounty hunter.
