I don't want to drag out the Kickstarter discussion much more but from talking to my brother (who backs so many things on Kickstarter he really needs a Kickstopper) that it's great for board games. Like Greater than Games made so many Sentinels of the Multiverse products from Kickstarter.

i haven't actually ever been on the gitp forums but if they are doing the "try to optimize d&d" thing towards a comic where one of the primary characterizations is "deliberately sub-optimal d&d characters as the protagonists" then man that's gotta be terrible to read

They're the people who would die in my group because we refuse to take things seriously. We spent like 10 minutes figuring out a way to disarm a trap and take an ordinary scythe from it because the one guy decided he wanted a scythe  (We were successful)

The new 70% right 30% wrong. When I was semi active on those forums they're fun for PBFP games, asking questions, and as long as you didn't pay too much attention even comic discussion but when it gets bad it gets bad. Like an example of good was when I channeled the forums Min-Maxers to help me win a challenge. Can an optimized Min-Maxed level 20 (But not epic) Wizard (Incantatar cheese) beat Elminster from the 3rd edition Epic Handbook (Albeit with Immunities randomized?). I teleported on top of Elminster with two simulacrum Gibbering Orbs and two hecatonchires. It ended when we got into an argument as to whether a) Can Elminster Shapechange into a gargantuan sized living Cube (It says non-unique creature). b) Can a hecatonchires reflex save to avoid getting smushed from falling damage from the living cube. (Isn't a hecatonchires large enough to potentially catch the cube?) A perfect example of the Gitp being bad is when I stumbled on a discussion about what Foresight does with a sperg arguing, no, the spell doesn't let you do anything fun at all based on the most pedantic splitting of hairs of the grammar in question, I even linked it here but the forums aren't up.

But it's been a long time.

My favorite thing is that the phrase 'was X morally justified' is banned becayse people went absolutely nuts about how Roy attacking Miko meant he was more evil than Hitler and it quickly spread so most of the comic threads were arguing about it.

Once foresight is cast, you receive instantaneous warnings of impending danger or harm to the subject of the spell. You are never surprised or flat-footed. In addition, the spell gives you a general idea of what action you might take to best protect yourself and gives you a +2 insight bonus to AC and Reflex saves. This insight bonus is lost whenever you would lose a Dexterity bonus to AC. I mean, just as written it's pretty crappy for a ninth level spell. Admittedly I'm pretty skeptical of this sort of power after Newspaper Spider-Man.

+2 AC, +2 Reflex Saves and not getting flat footed is tremendously bad for a level 9 spell if that's strictly how you interpret it. I believe it's very important to try and figure out what the hell the intended effect of a spell or ability is and go with that interpretation. It's not always easy but it should lead to a better game. Hopefully. Otherkinsey Scale posted:Admittedly I'm pretty skeptical of this sort of power after Newspaper Spider-Man.

I've been reading it since day one and I still came here to see if it'd been abandoned or if he'd had to give up. The forums are down too now. I didn't know about the struggles with Kickstarter but man they've sure been fighting these giants for a long time. The pages don't have dates on but about 30 comics back is tagged as copyright 2016!

I'm not really feeling the jokes I feel like at this point we all figured out Burlew's formula and it's just a couple of variables and a constant Elan-like and maybe a pair of goofballs to break the fourth wall occasionally

The poor bastard also has to finish a comic about Sir Francois (I think this is Elan backstory) , the CPPD and Julio Scoundrel in addition to Dim Sun. Also to give you an idea of how much work he puts into some of these. O'chul's comic is over 90 pages long. Jesus.
