Ha, ha.

Now that you have quite a body of cultist work, I decided to go back and read them all in order...thanks to your nifty "previous" and "next" links!

Seems like the "next" link in the penultimate one, from march, is not enabled though.

Thanks for all you do, Mort!

Thanks Kirt! I don't have a nifty way of automating it so I had type the links in HTML. Good catch!

Hah, yeah a body of cultist work. That would sound wrong if taken out of context of the comic and this site. Smile

Wolfsire: My PM? I don't have anything from you?

Anyways, a bit belated but here is this week's comic:

http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip170a.htm

Sun May 11, 2008 8:35 am

Awesome! I love the Graz'zt show almost as much as the Tharizdun cultists.

Sun May 11, 2008 10:39 am

Sun May 11, 2008 7:14 pm

Wolfsire: Awesome! If ScottyG is fine with it I certainly am. I want to hear which ones you use too. Neat.

Sun May 11, 2008 7:17 pm

Mon May 12, 2008 7:05 am

Wed May 14, 2008 3:50 pm

im new to the comics, but man....

you got to love the Cultists.

very very funny material!

Wed May 14, 2008 9:37 pm

Wolfsire: Crazy concept, but cool. I guess if I do more Olidammara comics that will aid you? :P

rossik: Thanks! The cultists are a hit indeed. I hope the GH Gods don't get jealous of these two mortals or I might have a strike on my hands.

I recall a few Dragon articles for mundane magic items even in first edition.

Well sure, but the emphasis was more on player ability to create new items. 1E was downright discouraging and it progressively got easier from there IMO.

Fri May 16, 2008 9:14 pm

Sat May 17, 2008 12:14 am

For my money 2E was the best system, mixing crunch and fluff that is.

Thu May 22, 2008 1:29 am

http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip172a.htm Hot diggity dog, I'm early for once. And here is some cultist antics!

Thu May 22, 2008 8:08 am

That is how I normally operate, staight from the Tharizdunites Guide to the Planescape. Who needs a towel when you have a purple hooded robe?

Mon May 26, 2008 6:13 am

Now thats an evil idea. I'd want them to be made by the people who make those Monty Python plushes. Funny stuff.

Tue May 27, 2008 9:49 am

I'd be happy with a cultist T-shirt at least.

Thu May 29, 2008 9:37 pm

I bet you never read about the Oerth Disc before.

http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip174a.htm Shocked

Thu Jun 05, 2008 5:15 pm

That one makes me think of the long running joke in the old Phill Foglio Dragon cartoon. Sex in D&D.

Thu Jun 05, 2008 5:24 pm

Oh yeah I love those old Foglio comics. A big influence for me. Maybe that bled through subliminally. :)

Thu Jun 05, 2008 11:53 pm

I don't remember then name of it thought. But I do find it amusing that Phil would go on later to do a porn comic with a lot of fantasy features to it.

Fri Jun 06, 2008 6:41 am

GGW- I'll take a copy.

Has your character ever had one of these?

Fri Jun 20, 2008 6:45 am

I like the disclaimer. Those things were so stupid, I could never read all about them. I hadn't thoght about UA as GH lore. Looks like I have some browsing to do.

There's no words to explain this one.

Fri Jun 27, 2008 7:13 am

Ya know, the good thing is that those buggers dont speak with a French accent. Now if it would just leave, Graz'zt is set up to PAR-TAY!

That was seriously painful, mort. Shocked

In a good way. Happy

Fri Sep 12, 2008 10:04 pm

I only do it because I care. Happy

Sat Sep 13, 2008 8:24 am

Nice work, Mort. Your cultist with the corny sense of humor is very becoming of him. Laughing

Sat Sep 13, 2008 10:22 am

I should mention one thing, mort. I'm currently running Return To The Temple Of Elemental Evil for 2 players and they haven't yet got far enough into it to meet the Doomdreamers. I'm just hoping I can hold the whole thing together when they do meet them.

And you're really not helping at all. Wink

Sat Sep 13, 2008 8:36 pm

Luz: Thanks. The corny cultist wouldn't be half as funny without his straight man though. Who would've thought I'd find a comedy team in this evil pair?

Ragr: Oh my, yeah since starting this comic(@ 3 years) I have yet to use Tharizdun cultists IMC. Now on reflection I'm not sure I could either :S

Thu Sep 18, 2008 2:49 pm

Graz'zts back! Happy

Fri Oct 24, 2008 9:09 am

The Iuz sextuptlets!

Actually, my theory for divine ascension by mortals is that they have to find and defeat/absorb all their alternate selves in parallel primes (much like in The One). Grazz't is divine - he was only One. But his son Iuz is mortal, so there were born multiple Iuz's in many differnent worlds. The Iuz of Oerth (the one who ascended) traveled to these different worlds and overcame the other Iuz's to absorb their power and ascend.

Thus, in my campaign the remains in the Soul Husks caverns are just these - the other five of the Iuz sextuplets, as it were.

Fri Oct 24, 2008 8:48 pm

Damn Kirt, that's a pretty chilling and cool idea if you use the alternate Oerths as I am prone to. It certainly is as plausible as other theories I've read.

Sat Nov 08, 2008 9:24 pm

I'm glad you appreciated the humor on that one, it took longer to decide on dialogue than to draw/color it.

Thu Nov 13, 2008 7:14 pm

http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip197a.htm

And back to our regular scheduled program...

Mon Nov 17, 2008 12:35 pm Still looking sharp!

Hi all,

I believe that any reference to The Muppet show is a good reference. Keep up the "Gods in Spaace!" story!

~Scott "-enkainen" Casper

Tue Nov 18, 2008 10:15 pm

And thank you for acknowledging the reference, Scottenkainen! I so do love that old show and anything Muppet related. Happy

Sat Nov 22, 2008 12:00 am

No comic this week, expect me to make it up next week. Sowwy!

Needfest awaits! Wink

Hey! Congrats on the milestone, Mort! Happy

Thu Dec 04, 2008 11:57 pm

You did it ! and did it wonderfully !! Happy

Fri Dec 05, 2008 12:31 am

Hey Mort-
Thanks for the credit, I'll have to put it on my resume...And maybe I could get an Associate Producer credit when you get the movie made...Anyway, congrats on the first 200, now get back to work on the next 200 Laughing

...
Kwint Pendick

Fri Dec 05, 2008 9:49 am

Awesome 200!

"The deities of Greyhawk especially lent themselves as humorous characters, much like the gods of Greek mythology, because they think and act just as human as the human beings who worshiped them."

Made me remember of the myth of Thor in a wedding dress ... then think Kord in garter belts.

Back to it. Here's a light hearted one. :)

Thu Dec 11, 2008 8:59 am

I don't get it. Maybe it would have made more sense it Trithereon said something other than "Wha WHA WHA wha".

I almost didn't get it done in time. Whew! Boccob bless us, everyone!

Thu Dec 25, 2008 1:47 am

This is too funny. I was about to post "Mortellen has until 11:59 PM, PST to get the Needfest comic done so as to officially count it as a Needfest comic." Laughing

Good job of getting in turned in a mere 30 minutes into the actual holiday. Now, I'm off to go read and enjoy it. Cool

Thu Dec 25, 2008 2:26 am

Whew! Well thank goodness I made the deadline and I even had spare time to finish up my cast page as an extra. It was a ginormous project that I had to make a strict work schedule for in order to get through that last week.

Thu Dec 25, 2008 3:36 am

congratulations! great story, i loved that st. cuthbert-"claus" look

Thu Dec 25, 2008 10:12 am

Woo! I enjoyed this comic. It's a good celebration of the quirkiness of the many obscure Greyhawk gods.

Thu Dec 25, 2008 9:43 pm

Thanks rossik! Cuthbert serendiptously is associated with Needfest -and- Earth in canon so its been an easy parody to justify.

Rasgon: Thank you too! Thats a high compliment from you indeed!
