C’mon, he uploaded two strips within a week and announced a new prequel book. Rich is very ok and you shouldn’t wantonly invoke the magic phrase.

an anthropomorphic rabbit girl is explaining how she is under a curse that requires her to die at least once a day. It can be harder than you think to get killed, but once you get the hang of letting go, dying can be beautiful!

Counterpoint: he wrote it himself. If he's that aware and worried then I dunno maybe he shouldn't put his need to publish his story over the well-being of his readers, even if it's just a potential factor.

I'm not saying he's a good person, he isn't, I'm just surprised he has enough awareness to even recognize the issue and yet still not... you know, not write it.

I am curious about this character, but not enough to go read the page.

Can she only die once a day? Curse says she has to die once a day, so that implies she gets better.
If she dies, then dies a 2nd time, ...then what? Is she functionally immortal? Or only immortal until her age death?

Just to clear that one up, she has to die exactly once a day and is instantly resurrected. If she dies twice in a day or doesn’t die at all, she dies for real. Most magical effects in Goblins are dumb and oddly specific and most drama is derived from characters trying to figure out the nonsense rule of the day.

We gazed into the eyes of madness... And all we found was horny.




I'm reminded of something from when the Goblins archive was being posted in one of the old incarnations of the Bad Webcomics thread.

At some point, he introduced some custom-made magic item that would do one thing from a table of 100 when used, and he'd painstakingly detailed each and every result, even though all of two or three of them actually came up in the comic... which horribly killed the NPCs in question.

Someone went through and cataloged every effect (good, bad, neutral/irrelevant), and came to the conclusion that you'd have to be a loving idiot to consider using it in your own D&D games, since it was way more likely to backfire horribly on you.

See, there's something cool to be had in the idea of a magical superweapon more likely to drat you than save you. What's it mean to have something like that or to use it? There's a story to be told about someone smuggling ten pounds of raw chaos into fantasy city and nobody knows what is going to happen. But it would require someone with more talent than the Goblins guy to tell these stories since he can't engage with the concepts on anything more than the most superficial level.
