Low Res Realms!

It's time for a new interactive feature here at the View

Below is a photo... kinda.

It certainly used to be a photograph before we converted it to a pixelated mess.

We's like you to figure out the following based on just the squares of color below.

• What event is this?
• What is happening in this picture?
• Who are some of the people in the picture?

The full photo will be revealed later this afternoon.

Guess That Realmsie!

Another in our continuing series! In the below picture there is a Realmsie-shaped black hole. Can you figure out who it is based only on the profile? Tell us on social media if you think you know who it is! The answer will be revealed later in the day.

Realmsie Radar (Charts)

We have a new fun feature here at the View! Part guessing game, part chance to explore the not-as-obvious traits of your characters and your character's friends. Mostly a good opportunity for some light-hearted fun!

Below are three radar charts with character stats, as is common in many RPGs and similar gaming experiences. Your job is to figure out what chart belongs to what Realms character.

There is no right or intended answer to any of these radar charts. They are made with a hearty dose of randomness and ridiculousness. Nonetheless, we at the View have faith you will zero in on exactly which Realmsies hit these stat profiles!

Post your ideas and comments on social media!

Word From the West - Black & White

Written by: Dan "N" Hudson

*The following was discovered in a dingy diary lost along a road, and translated from the original goblin to be readable in the common tongue. Spelling and grammar also underwent heavy corrections.*

Dear Diary,

My name is Gobbergobber now! It was Paul for a bit, but I traded that lame, short name for a super cool long name. Sadly that is the only thing I got to keep from our robbing of the mail carrier the other day - adventurers killed my pals and our trolls and took back all the mail we stole. No fair! Stealing things and disrupting the postal service is what I live for, yet apparently it is illegal in Chimeron just like other fun things like necromancy and murder!

I have made it my quest to change Chimeron’s unfair anti-fun laws, starting with the outlawing of theft! I talked to the guy who’s been king for years and get this - he didn’t even make the law! It’s been around since a monarch named Queen Meg, with no one questioning this outdated law that has no place in today’s society! The king made it clear that I would have to talk to this queen about changing the law, so that’s what I set out to do.

But it’s proving harder than I thought! He said that she was under the hill but I’ve been checking under every hill I can find and still no sign of her! Was I lied to? Did this “Queen Meg” ever really exist? I don’t know, but I’ll either find the truth or get tired trying and give up.

Make stealing legal!!!

-Gobbergobber

P.S. I’m hungry so I’m gonna go eat a pig now. A stolen one, because I like stealing things.
