YggiDee posted:... I've been misreading 'Dim Sun' as 'Dim Sum' on that page for an embarrassingly long time now. Now that I think of it a D&D story based on the Dark Sun campaign setting makes way more sense than a D&D story about Asian Cuisine would. Be honest, though: don't you kind of really want the latter now? Because i certainly do.

LupusAter posted:Does the fact that it's called anarchic water mean that Loki is Chaotic first, Evil second? (To be fair he might not be Evil at all, not sure if we have any indications on the matter.) or Hilgya is CN - if I remember right, in 3.x you could be one step removed in alignment from your deity, even as a cleric of such.

Possible variation on that - oracular visions exist in this world, so she could have gained knowledge that he would need it at one point, and arranged a group like the clerics that raised the Oracle to cast it on him at a specified condition. (Maybe she saw him sitting on that throne/chair as an undead?) Don't know how Durkon would know that, though. Have to workshop this theory a bit.

edit: beaten like a vampire in the way of a pissed-off halfling. Rich is still OK, and Durkon isn't staying on the bench! (hopefully) You just knew it was coming but still good to see. I also really like Durkon in this mentor role.

This is Xykon, though. He'll have picked up the key to controlling the Snarl a few years ago but chunked it into storage because he couldn't use it on the TeeVo.

The table itself is true neutral. It has to be in balance, otherwise everything's gonna fall over. It accommodates all alignments of actions done on top of it. Also, metal folding chairs are Chaotic Good instruments of Justice.

The obviously true conclusion is the party is still trapped in the illusion in the desert! It shows people their ideal "happy ever after", right? But what they accepted as what the illusion was showing them was so easy to get out of it didn't count at all! The proper "happy ever after" for not only a bunch of adventurers but the protagonists of an epic is much more hard-fought, fraught with failure and sacrifice, and doesn't have them win until the last possible opportunity. Like... What's happening now! That's a properly epic illusion!

Yeah, that was my takeaway from Carrot and Vetinari's conversation as well. "Ankh-Morpork doesn't need a king, so I'm not gonna be. If it ever does? I'll be here. Until then, I'm just gonna help people."

Thanks to someone talking about the beginning of this thread, I started reading through it (I think a similar rule to "Don't click on an OOTS link unless you're prepared to read 50+ strips" applies here), and I just got the joke about V and Pompey's names after someone pointed it out. 15 years later. Son of a *bitch*.

Cup Runneth Over posted:I don't think Eugene is capable of actually learning. He's dead. It certainly seems possible though that Roy's sister's personality was heavily influenced by her father's, especially since she followed in his footsteps, unlike Roy. This is kind of where I'm at, tbh. I could also see the scenario where Eugene has started contacting her somehow as well, and thus has been in her ear about things more recently.

Yeah, I can't remember if it was here or in the strip itself, but I remember the debate about "This seems more like a rogue's tomb/gate defense than Kraagor's, and didn't we just see this?" This seems like a much more fitting monument.

My first OOTS was iirc #122 - a friend showed it to me as "what happens when adventurers come to town". After 20 years, this is still pretty much the only webcomic I recommend to people.

Just spend the next 6.5 hours coming up with the correct model to use for your calculations and not only can you accurately model velocity but you'll also be able to determine exactly when your players completely lost interest and wandered off to do something else.

This is the point where, as the DM, you turn to the offending player, mutter something along the lines of "Congratulations. The moon, as an inanimate object, is not trying to Hide. You successfully Spot it." and threaten to start throwing erasers at them if they bring it up again.

Taciturn Tactician posted:The target not intentionally hiding is not sufficient to automatically succeed a Spot check. You can rule circumstance as the DM since there is a "sometimes" in there, but "it's not hiding so you see it" isn't an automatic property of how Spot works. This is exactly what the eraser is for. EDIT: Rogue AI Goddess posted:The sun has a lot of hit dice to add to its check to light the moon up. Without the sun, the moon is indeed hard to spot. This is also a really good answer!
