I saw some OotS books in my local comic book shop today. I was considering picking them up until I saw they'd been marked as £10 whereas on the back it proudly proclaimed them to be worth about $13 or so.

In case you ain't been keeping up with things, that's worth around £6. So I thought "I don't want them so bad I'll pay almost twice what it actually costs."

I flipped through the Origin book, though, and found the few panels I alighted 'pon to be rather amusing.

"I may not be exactly what you would call-" doesn't have to end with "human", and I'd say it's fairly unlikely it does. There's a whole host of things it could be.

I think the blood covered kimono is meant to be a parody of that hot tub scene from Austin Powers. Not that there's really any reason for it here at all.

It's not blood, it's a pattern of pink skulls.

Nope. Some comics only run by an approximation of their schedule, but Erfworld seems to just use it at the loosest possible guide.

I can't beleive that people were bitching about us quibbling over D&D rules, and then once we stopped everyone sighed with relief and started talking about erfworld and miko porn.

The thing is, when talk of Erfworld and porn comes up, it's not two people bickering back and forth with page-sized replies that make us want to gouge loving own eyes out.

I think you mean

Bestow Curse
Thread Necromancy
Level: Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard post
Range: Touch
Target: Thread touched
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

You place a curse on the thread. Choose one of the following three effects.

* -6 decrease in regular posters (minimum 1).
* -4 penalty on thread rating.
* Each post, the poster has a 50% chance to act normally; otherwise, they keep on posting crap.

You may also invent your own curse, but it should be no more powerful than those described above.

The curse bestowed by this spell cannot be dispelled, but it can be removed with a break circlejerk, topic switch, mod appearance, probation, or ban.

Bestow curse counters remove curse.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Goblins, seeing as how Bob and George has ended and therefore no fights could be "going on right now."

Oh, right. Duh me. Yeah, Goblins does some pretty sweet fight stuff. I still like the swamp fight from that, that was some good fightin' right there.

In 484 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0484.html), what's the Cloister thing Xykon did with the headband? And what does that have to do with the "off the grid" comment he makes? Can't figure that one out.

He's magically hiding the city, basically making it so people won't pay attention to it and that kind of thing. Like the TARDIS!

I thought people don't pay attention to the TARDIS because no one actually takes the time to examine a locked blue phone booth looking thing. Also doesn't it get stolen every now and then anyway?

Considering all the places that the Doctor used to go to, it's gotta have some capacity for altering people's perceptions.

Anyway, you understood what I meant.

Is cloister a spell? What's it from? I couldn't find it. Or is it a function of that headband?

Homerule, probably. OotS isn't exactly a straight up by-the-book D&D game.

He should really think about pacing these a little slower, so he can do the same amount of comic spread over two or three days. Plus they wouldn't be so text-heavy that way.

But it is a fine update, nonetheless.

Based on the wikipedia entry, it looks like the term has moved out of SA, probably due to goons.

Just don't try adding in SA as originator of the term, or any kind of reference to SA whatsoever, since there's a whole culture of humourless bastards at Wikipedia who hate it when our forums get credit for, well, anything.
