NihilCredo posted:You know - if V, back when he was disclosing his fiend adventure to Roy, had mentioned that his master could have one-shot an ancient black dragon without much effort, Roy would have absolutely insisted to have Durkon send him a Sending asking him to come join them to save the world. And V would never have refused since his downfall came from being too proud to do exactly that. Didn't Rich say that there's a character who'd only appeared in one panel who's going to become important?

If most ninjas are Wizards and Naruto's a Sorcerer, that makes Rock Lee a monk, right? Mechanically optimized to hell and back, capable of absolutely incredible feats... still can't quite measure up to a Wizard of the same level.

Yeah, you're probably better off looking at where it started in sci-fi, because then it'll be easy enough to trace a line from that to being used in fantasy. Spec fic gonna spec fic.

One character almost literally has the Ralph Wiggum "I like men now!" response, except what triggers it is getting a pole stuck up his rear end.

Agreed. It is supposedly the first ever time that a god rose without the influence of any of the existing pantheons, but in the thousands upon thousands of worlds, has that really never happened before? There have been crayon drawings involved, so Thor could possibly be lying or mistaken. I don't know what that would add to the already very busy narrative, but it's a possibility.

He didn't just command them at the spur of the moment when he attacked her with them. If she'd actually said she was looking for the TiVo remote because she didn't want to admit her plan to his face, he probably would have quietly let go of the ghouls and gone back to his business.

It took Rich years to accept that he should make a Patreon and start selling PDFs of the books (especially the formally print-exclusive ones), and once he did, he was completely blown over by how much people really did want to support him through that. I think he got so used to seeing only the worst elements of his readers that he didn't really believe that there was a silent majority. (Though to be fair, too long in the GiantITP forums would make anyone lose hope in humanity.)

More than just that, he says that Redcloak is on the hook to work with him forever, because the alternative is admitting to himself that he killed his brother for nothing, and he isn’t capable of being that kind of Evil.
