Hilarious! And I thought I was the only person in the world who remembered the quazar dragon.

(Incidentally, I have actually used the quazar dragon in my game, as a means of getting rid of a certain annoying rules lawyer. And I ran the accompanying "Nogard" adventure for him once, too, since it didn't work!)

Mon May 31, 2010 8:28 pm

Another excellent job, Mort. Happy

Loved the link to Thor #380, never saw that one. Or the Reynold's rant. Thanks lots! Cool

Werewolves and Comeliness.

Thu Jun 03, 2010 8:08 pm

I actually still use Comeliness for my PCs, though not always. I use the Perception score, too. They work pretty well in my case. Thanks for the treks into yesteryear, Mort.

(Also without looking it up but) I would think that detect invisible would show things that were naturally difficult to see, even if not using magic.

For example, I am currently reading return to the tomb of horrors, and it mentions that the vampires in gaseous form in the fog may be seen with a detect invisible, even though they are not actually invisible. Gaseous form is an "innate ability" and would not be detectable as magic, I suppose.

Good point Kirt. I guess there are many creatures that have innate invisiblities. Will O Wisps? Pixies? Now what is your thoughts on Detecting Illusions?

I was personally pleased with the drug ad, which I threw in at the last minute on a brainstorm. Sometimes stuff I come up with off the cuff beats out things I've written on for weeks.

Tue Jul 13, 2010 11:07 am

"A thief slinging a gem from the crypt will cause 1 damage per 10,000gp value, shattering the gem in the process. (Oh that Gygax is a sly DM)"

Too sly for my tastes in this case, which is my overall impression of both 1E and 2E Tomb of Horrors.

It is great that the gems can damage him, but how are the PC's supposed to know this? To me, it is not the mark of a "superior player" that they can use a strategy for which there is no in-game reason supplied - it just means they used out-of-game knowledge...

Now might be a good time to bring out this old jingle:

Fri Jul 30, 2010 6:39 am Speculation on the identity of the two cultists

So, mort, do we have enough clues now to figure out who the cultists of Tharizdun are, or should we wait for more comics to come out? :-)

Fri Jul 30, 2010 6:47 am

Aren't they just human cultists in ceremonial robes? If they turned out to be Erythnul and Incabulos in disguises, it would be very weird.

Fri Jul 30, 2010 11:53 am

Last night in the chat, mort hinted at a puzzle regarding their identities. I think they're established NPCs or even deities, and he says he's left clues in the comics about who they are.

Fri Jul 30, 2010 6:03 pm

Correct Celeste. Through careful re-reading of the comic and location of various visual and textual clues which I will later leak, you can deduce the answer. Also, you can eliminate certain characters based on them appearing with the cultists, such as Erythnul who was with other evil gods trying to kill the cultists a couple episodes ago.

Sat Jul 31, 2010 8:48 am

So, are we getting a new comic this week or did I just miss an announcement of some sort?...I need my fix, man! Wink

The Room of Horrors is a nasty little mod, Mort. Nicely done! Cool

Thanks Mystic! It still needs a bit of tweaking. My playtest was a bit wonky, but then again I ran it 1st edition and I hadn't done that system in AGES. Given time I would've liked to add pregenerated victims-er, characters and some illustrations. Eh.

Sun Aug 08, 2010 12:59 pm

1st edition works for me, that's about "where" I was playing -- "back in the day." Wink

Can't wait to see your "final" rendition and the victims, err, characters you create! Wink

Fri Aug 20, 2010 8:44 am

Werewolves, Ehlonna and Obad-Hai, I know that theme. http://www.canonfire.com/cf/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=936

I am sure it is in bad taste to comare artists. Maybe it is just cuz I recently read something similar in Order of the Stick, http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0742.html (“I wouldn’t call him a dwarf, but there will definitely be some spelunking involved.”), but, I can’t help but mention that the last panel was ripe for having Ronald Regan make some double entendre salamander/fire giant joke. Amusing even if I cannot come up with the puchline.

From left to right: Bahamut, Moradin, Corellon, Pelor, Rao, Kord, Pholtus, Quetzalcoatl, Yondalla.

And the identity of the "smart" cultist is pretty obvious at this point, I think.

Yup. All is good. I'm winding down on the comic however as they are getting harder to muster than in my heyday. Sometimes I have a creative spurt but other weeks I'm just braindead. To that end, I'm limping forward with #300 in my sights.

Wed Sep 08, 2010 9:03 pm

Well it has been a mighty fine go. I know that creativity will need an outlet though ... Smile

And here I am a lowly, ignored devotee of Uncaring Boccob! Evil Grin

Does this mean that Kord will disown me if I choose to be a scholarly Sorcerer instead of a "manly" -- a.k.a. uncouth, uneducated -- Fighter? Sad

Too cool, Mort. Thanks! Happy

Forget disown - kord will appear and mash you into bloody pulp. No kid of his is gonna be a wussy bookworm - the shame would be too much.

As for the confusion of classes; I think it could be interpreted that the child has to be a member of the clergy OR a fighter class not forced to be dual.

Good comic Mort Wink

Whew! Am I glad I'm NOT claiming to be a Child of Kord! Shocked

Too bad bookwormish deities like Delleb, Lydia and Boccob aren't promiscuous as Kord else we could have a demigod roll off for mentally gifted characters. And a child of Zagyg? Well you'd have to crack out the insanity charts from the DMG for that one. Wink
