I had a DM who made appearance its own stat because he felt charisma was all about a characters personality. Unlike the other stats, which were roll 4d6 and drop the lowest, it was just straight 3d6. I rolled all 1s for my character, so he was one of the ugliest Dwarves to have ever lived. I described him as the Dwarven, bearded version of Sloth from The Goonies. I figured he was involved in some sort of mining accident as a child. Despite his appearances, he eventually found love and became happily married. His only child ascended to become the new Diety of Good by the end of the campaign. Definitely one of my favorite characters I've had.

Richard L Oswalt

I love EGS. But it's hard to see Rich be a dick all the time, both because my name is Richard and that I have met multiple Rich's (by description and some of them have that same name).

Stephen Gilberg

Well, in that last panel, you look "hot" in the sense of aflame....

Stephen Gilberg

If George is convinced they're one and the same, then he'd have to wonder why the change-up for one session.

Windscion

Except that would be playing with outing him, which is a dick move. So Geo won't go there.

John Trauger

Poor Rich is out of his depth, literally and figurtively. It's kind of an enviable experinece. The game is made new for him. Frightening perhaps but still new again.

I'm not trying to say Eric Cartman doesn't have charisma. Eric Cartman motivated dozens of people I had thought knew better to do some pretty Eric Cartman things. I just don't think that Rich is an Eric Cartman. There's some physical resemblance they have in common, but I just don't get the same vibe from Rich.

Windscion

Eh, Rich might be an Eric Cartman. A forceful personality, just not an attractive one.

Some Ed

Oh, yeah, you "don't know" what happened last week. Sure.

I've seen prefabs with various amounts of specifications. The most basic just had the six stats, hit points, class, experience points, and thus level. The most complete had names and backgrounds, as well as fully documented initial inventory and cash on hand. This reads to me like they're the most basic. As such, Larry may have in part decided on bard because of that high charisma. Sure, it's frequently a dump stat, but I've known some people who had particularly low charisma in real life who really liked playing characters who didn't have that problem. To be clear, I feel like Larry's charisma is probably higher than Rich's charisma, but that says more about Rich's charisma than it does about Larry's.

And then, one week, Ellen can't make it, and asks Elliot to fill in for him. And George goes “Suuure, riiiiight. Ellen ‘can't make it’ tonight, wink, wink.”

You know I kinda hope this ends in Ellen and these guys playing this campaign regularly, we don't even have to see it, but that almost seems like where its going. Nanase, has bad acting nervousness to work on, George has never played before but knows all the rules (aka a yearning for the game), Rich and Larry could stand to be socialized through trial by fire. Fun times!
