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

I bet you never read about the Oerth Disc before.

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.

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

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.

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!

Tue Nov 25, 2008 7:50 am

Bravo indeed! And you even got this one posted before noon! Shocked

Needfest awaits! Wink

Thu Dec 04, 2008 1:10 pm

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.

Thanks everyone for the comments. 200 was fun putting together, now I have to put on the ol thinking cap and get back to the weekly grind.

Thu Dec 11, 2008 7:18 am

http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip201a.htm

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!

Fri Dec 26, 2008 11:04 pm

He, he. That was great, Mort!

I loved the shot of the elves making magic items...elven cloak, elven chain, elven boots, and elven...? Is that a particular kind of bow?

Kirt

Sat Dec 27, 2008 1:39 am

You have an eye for detail Kirt, I like that. I suppose if one is a 3rd edition player that could be an Oathbow. I don't remember any 1e/2e elf specific bows though I'm sure there are ones. What you didn't pick out was the sword Darny is enchanting at the time. It is Bilbo's short sword Sting from the LotR movies which if I recall is elven made and detects orcs as referenced in the comic. Wink

Tue Dec 30, 2008 9:53 am

Ah, I don't know 3E. If I had to guess, I was going to say a "Bow with ribbons" from Munchkin.

Fri Jan 02, 2009 2:27 am

My resolution for 2009 is to read the WOG comic from n° 1 to 200!

Thanks for the fun, Mortellan.

Tue Jan 06, 2009 8:06 pm

1-200 in one sitting, I don't think I've even done that. Too busy working on the next ones I guess ;)

CATACLYSM!

Thu Jan 15, 2009 9:35 am

Funny!

Just to be a pain, note that in Frank Mentzer's phonetic spelling, "Y" is pronounced like "eye" (as in "gyd"). So I'm pretty sure "Yooze" was intended to be pronounced "eyeooze." There ought to have been a hyphen, but that's my theory.

Thu Jan 22, 2009 2:14 pm

As I am watching the intro sequence (continue to comic?..NO WAIT!!!)
I can't help thinking a little music would be cool. Like maybe a wav file
embedded in the strip?

For example...

http://www.barbneal.com/wav/tvthemes/startrek.wav

starting at about 32 seconds in...

can you do that?

Doesn't Delleb agree? Or is He the kind of bibliophilomaniac who has libraries full of books, and opens none (as I am a little bit...) Embarassed

Fri Feb 06, 2009 8:51 am
