The [[Forgotten Realms]] are many things, but one thing in particular that people tend to forget about is that they are absolutely ''lousy'' with portals to the various [[plane]]s of existence. As [[magocracy]] after [[magocracy]] has risen and fallen, usually attempting to exploit the creatures of the [[Outer Planes]] and [[Inner Planes]] for their own end, Faerûn has built up a diversity of [[planetouched]] native races exceeded in official [[Dungeons & Dragons]] lore only by [[Sigil]]. Issue #350 of [[Dragon Magazine]] covered four of these planetouched races in particular; the [[Azerblood]]s, the [[Celadrin]]s, the [[D'hin'ni]], and the Worghests, expanding upon other such races as [[baphitaur]]s, [[fey'ri]] and [[tanarukk]]s.

'''Worghests''' are a planetouched race born of the interbreeding of [[barghest]]s, fiendish shapeshifters that resemble [[goblin]]oid [[werewolf|lycanthropes]] and the [[goblin]]s they variously rule over, oppress, and eat as the whim takes them. The resultant creatures look like blueish-gray hued hirsute goblins, with a short, lupine snout for a face, orange-glowing eyes, sharp teeth, and wicked claws. Inheriting only some of their fiendish progenitors' powers, worghests are closer to the cowardly behavior of their goblin cousins and prefer ambush and pack-tactics when roused to battle. Woe betide the fool who underestimates them as just funny-colored goblins, though, as they retain one of the most fearsome powers of the barghest: the ability to devour the souls of people they kill. So those who take a worghest too lightly can look forward to an eternity burning in the netherhells.

Despite their cowardly streak, this trace of fiendish ancestry is enough to secure worghests great fear and thus respect amongst goblin tribes, which they exploit to live as comfortably as possible. Amusingly, they rarely bother to become leaders; as they see it, being boss of the tribe is too much work.

In the Forgotten Realms, worghests are especially common around the Mines of Tethyamar, due to the many barghest-led goblin tribes that overran the ancient dwarven holdings in that region.

The GRAND DAD EMPIRE ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are not official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).

They operated out of the now-defunct SilvaGunner YouTube channel until some time in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before largely being abandoned.

Forums

The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events, discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS, MEME showcase, and general VINESAUCE or unrelated discussion.

Events

The VINESAUCE gaming events that The GRAND DAD Fugitives held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong homebrew scene. These events would involve Tempus-Fugitives-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't! They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.

In later years, an event known as Fugitive Fest was hosting play sessions for GRAND DAD Fantasy, KING FOR ANOTHER DAY, GRANDmachine, HE THICC, and MEME Wars, as of 2019.

== HIGH-QUALITY RIPS and MEMES == Some HIGH-QUALITY RIPS appear to have seen releases or updates in 5th and 6th edition. Note that The GRAND DAD Fugitives seem to have been most active between 2007 and 2013.

  • GRAND DAD 2: SPASTIC BOOGALOO
  • GRAND DAD: The Gauntlet of ASS (SANS, PAPYRUS, SPONGE, HE THICC, and SMOL NOZOMI)
