there is no universe where duke nukem would not be a trans ally



Oh, I just love the title of the strip. With the site loading as slow as it has been, the title would have driven me crazy while I waited for the comic to load.

Of course since I see the comic here it doesn't matter.

Did anyone notice the middle demon specifically called V "he" without any wavering? I know Burlow is probably throwing a red herring with the demon just picking one for convenience, but that should set off a new round of arguing on the oots forums.

The argument never actually ceases there really. Burlow has made that "mistake" before anyway and waved it off with "character choosing one out of convenience."

Isn't that the colour he became as a polymorphed lizard?

In the previous strip, the imp was calling V "her."

Is a pink dragon a reference to what Bell posted, or an actual type of D&D dragon?

I thought it might be an Amethyst Dragon, but I'm not sure that's open source and I'm not sure that manoeuver is allowed and I think the point is V is tearing poo poo up while her missus looks on in horror.

Guys I know this strip is fun for over-thinking, but the spell is shapechange. V just changed into a pink dragon shape, he/she didn't turn into a specific dragon.

A couple strips back the imp says "Her".

Aren't those psionic? I feel like a wizard choosing a psionic dragon is a little weird.

I had this happen once in a DnD game we were running. We were fighting a Behir and it took off when it's health was low, so the wizard was all " aww hell no" Cast Fly and went after it. Ended up getting swallowed by the thing(but he cast acid protection earlier) and he shapechanged into this 4 armed gorrila thing.
4 attacks round at like a 26 str bonus and he ripped right out of that things stomach.

I had a character's head ripped off by one of those four-armed gorillas once. Two hands on the shoulders, two hands on the head...POP!

Regarding the comic, first of all that was totally badass. Second, I didn't consider that V's family would have trouble recognizing him/her. I don't know if that's enough to make me think this will resolve differently, though.

Bet: V's mate recognizes V, but also recognizes that something is terribly wrong. V's kids will not recognize hir, and V's mate will keep them in the dark until he/she can tell whether V is "safe" or not.

It was V too. I remember it was because V failed to take into account her hitpoint total into her plans, and the rest of the order attacking the dragon for swallowing the lizard who "may or may not be" their friend.

Also, I'm actually really enjoying this fight sequence, even if it boils down to "ultimate min-maxed wizard v. dragon sorcerer", it's still fun, and I love watching characters dig moral and ethical holes for themselves.

I feel like we've gone well past the point of "hole". This is more of a moral/ethical canyon, filled with poison-tipped spikes, with a tsunami of boiling acid running through it. And the acid is made out of damned souls.

No, only the ones directly related to that dragon.

It's just that dragons both live a long time and are also total sluts who have sex with anything, thanks to the fact that most of them can assume most medium forms at will.

They have a lot of spawn.
