God I was hoping for a bit of humour, not everyone getting pre-emptively angry. You know, stuff like "Oh well 3.5e-ish Belkar is a barefoot halfling rogue but in 4e he's a psychic spider cowboy from Reclaimed Abeir who ends every sentence with "-a hyoo hyoo hyoo!" that's ... that's the kind of thing I think is funny

Hey, Cabbit, how come you're going to bat for 3.5 when this was the extent of your system mastery in it?

While I may or may not find a level 30 character with no caster levels, 'hilarious,' I certainly don't think this is the thread for it. Can't we take this to TGD, where it belongs?Cabbit posted:Like I'd ever be caught in that wretched, happyelf-sponsored hive of scum and villainy! Happyelf is dead, and we have the dogfucker back.

I agree, this is BSS. We discuss comics, not games. On that matter, Tarquin says he finds Elan's attitude weird. While it could be him putting on, he does raise an eyebrow. Could Elan not actually be related to Tarquin/Nale?

I'm happy to stop, lest somebody else trot out another old character sheet I made before I had a decent grasp on the system like it's a loving McCarthy hearing. I'm sure Elan's related, the apple just fell farther from the tree. Nale's nothing like his mom, for instance.

I am hard pressed to imagine what sort of point a twin-who-isn't-your-twin plot would have. I mean, Nale is enough like Elan to fool his party at close range, and we have seen Nale chilling out with the Linear Guild when you assume any sort of doppleganger/mimic would have dropped the act. It would be pretty much on par with 'It was all a dream!!'

He was there when both were born. They're twins. Same mother, same time. It would take a ludicrous amount of sleight-of-hand to fake that.

I just noticed he is patting an adult red dragon on her nose. Tarquin gets more bad rear end the longer you look at his panels.

It was just ignored for the first 500ish strips and only appeared when necessary, which is much the way every wizard ever treats their familiar in a practical game of D&D instead of a novelized version of D&D.

Pretty much the entire story although googling "Jim Profit" Burlew reveals a view of reality skewed on a frightening magnitude. Holy poo poo you weren't kidding.

Yes, I remember when he first started talking Varsuvius was surprised that he was speaking in English. edit: Here's the comic, not sure if he's ever spoken to anybody else though. The OotS wikia says that he spoke to the Oracle at some point, but that's it. Noonsaliwah fucked around with this message at 13:57 on Mar 28, 2011 |

I knew a guy who let his niece (5 or 6) play as his familiar from time to time. I thought it would be a nightmare (as did the DM), but it actually worked out pretty well. After the first ten or so minutes the kid only piped up when it was appropriate and played her DS when it wasn't. Speaking as someone who nearly universally loathes children under 8 or so, I didn't mind it at all. It was pretty cute when she got all excited "scouting" and telling us verbatim what the DM had just said to her. It was interesting, to say the least, though I certainly wouldn't do it with my kid. Little bastard always took more than her fair share of snacks though, and I'm sure her mom and dad have heard a few f bombs by now.

I suppose that is supposed to read: "no one even would have remembered." Solid strip, though. I love Tarquin's gloating.

SithDrummer posted:I suppose that is supposed to read: "no one even would have remembered." No, he's saying he would have been more angry if the tournament had turned out unmemorable. It's a little clunky, but it's correct. Append a phantom "made me" to his sentence and it's much easier to diagram.

I always thought the best way to finance an empire in a high magic setting would be to have an obscure law that made it standard procedure to sell all equipment in the possession of accused criminals immediately after capture. Some 10th level party picks a fight in a bar? Boom. 200,000 gold. It would be a hell of a stick for the DM too, if carrots didn’t keep his players in line. “Don’t gently caress around in my city unless you want to risk losing your vorpal nunchucks.”

It'd suck to get nicked for a parking ticket and have your spellbook pawned while you're in lock-up.
