ZorbaTHut posted:I'm enjoying it a bit. It's sufficiently entertaining that I continue to read it. I hope the plot gets on track a bit more, right now I don't feel much connection to any character in any way, but I'm still giving it a chance. What the hell, was that always like that? I swear it used to be drawn regularly.

Robot Bastard posted:The problem that I have with Erfworld is that it's all over the place. Is this supposed to be a cute superdeformed RPG world? Is this supposed to be a grim exploration of war in a fantasy setting? Is this supposed to be a self-insertion fanfic? Is this supposed to be a parody of computer-RPG cliches? Pick one. It's not self insertion, the guy who writes Hamstard is someone completely different from Rob Balder (unless Hamstard is just some really weird meta joke comic made to supplement Erfworld).

NutShellBill posted:4) No V + plus freefalling = splat. More specifically, no feather fall. I think there are a few reasons that V is away from the batlle, and the biggest one is the resulting plot hole from watching Roy plummet to his death. There's also the idea that Xykon will get pissed off enough at Roy to do something that you can't get raised from. With V not there to see what happened, Roy could be shipped off to another dimension, or disintegrated, and OoTS might not know how to get him back. The most damage you can ever take by falling in D&D is something like 120, and that is with 20 6s on d6 dice (minimum 20, average 60), and if Roy makes a DC 15 jump check (with a +20 Ring of Jumping) he negates the first d6 and turns a second d6 into nonlethal. (I know that is a lot of rules for an offhand comment, but the way Burlew makes fun of the rules I do not think he would kill someone with falling)

Leikr Elferston posted:I'm not fixating on the rules, but the power these guys has makes a lot of the plot seem arbitary. For instance, who cares if they die? They can come back. Why can the lich blast his way through a dungeon full of angels and yet has to sneak a flanking manuver to take out a castle full of normal humans? What is that super-mega tough shadowy monster even for if they already vastly out-gun their enemies? Yeah that's Dungeons & Dragons for you.

Soylentbits posted:The only thing I never really understood about Roy's sword is why the weaponsmith thought it was a good idea to remove its undead smiting abilities. Did he just dislike the combination of magic and weapons? Was he mayhap insinuating a better time when weapons were just finely crafted pieces of metal and you had to walk fifteen miles in the snow to get to a decent anvil? She thought it might have been a gift for his mummy. (That was Burlew's answer when asked)

clockworkjoe posted:Well, since when the first gate was destroyed, it resulted in a massive explosion, I think we can say goodbye to to the castle and possibly the entire city as well. Oh and the hobgoblin army as well since redcloak led them to it. The first gate was actually destroyed as a result of the explosion of the castle, triggered by a self destruct rune, the forest gate was destroyed by a large fire, the gates don't seem to do anything corporally apparent when they are destroyed. Zoolooman posted:Ferrinus, stop making this harder than it has to be. Just look at Miko. If you think she's evil, she's evil. She's an insane king-slaying antagonist who attacks and attempts to kill lawful good paladins while they're doing lawful good things. She's evil man. She was LG for a while, but she went evil. Belkar has murdered dozens of innocents just on panel, and probably hundreds more before he joined the OoTS, alignment isn't some numerical scale on which you can move up and down freely, but a measure of intent and psychology, just because a psychopath who would burn the world to cinders if he were free is locked up, does not make him any less evil.

Therkla's is an interesting concept at least, the Cliffport Cops is just Rich picking something specific from a vague request; I honestly think Belkar is the worst choice for that because he's a main character and we get lots of Belkar anyway, someone like Fyron or Gortok or that Druid from Cliffport would have been better I think

I was thinking, would anything be funnier if this entire setup was a ruse and his family wasn't in on it? He created an epic ilusion of a gate and told his sons to protect it, so they created an insular clan of sorceror's kidnapping and casting high level magic on a temple where their "father's" body lay when in fact he's on the other side of the continent by himself
