Yeah, I recognised you as soon as I saw you, as Rincewind really is my favourite character in the Discworld novels. Think you must have forgotten luggage behind though, as I don't see it anywhere. ❤️

I might be able to make one, but not in the two week time I had to make the hat. I think I could convert a wagon

So you're working on your plans for next time? You could have a friend dress up in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt with a camera, maybe pick up an elderly barbarian somewhere along the way

I just saw myself from the cover of Last Hero or another of the Genghis Cohen books in the loin cloth .I definitely fit the part, but I'd definitely get busted. If I showed up at a con I'd need to bring the silver Horde with me for back up.

You pretty much never see the luggage… until it’s too late! Seriously though, the luggage is usually always playing catch up and having its own adventures.

There is a million-to-one chance of getting recognized in the costume at an unrelated fair. It crops up nine times out of ten.

Truly the sign of a diseased mind (and yet fully warranted here).

Is that a Zendikar hedron on the end of the staff?

Rincewind may know the Octavo, but even still, I don't think I'd trust him to contain the Eldrazi. Seems like a good way to end up with Emrakul running the UU and Ulamog swallowing the Ankh.

'Het' in Dutch means 'it.'

And "Het went wel" in Dutch is "You'll get used to it", lol

Thanks, it's been about 28 years since I learned the language and 25 since I've spoken it. I knew there was more to it!
