OOTS #G004 - The Discussion Thread

[Dr. Gamera]

Issue #4 of Gygax magazine is out. (As it was with issues #1 and #2, I received my PDF copy before my print copy.)

Issue #4 includes OOTS #G004, "Economy Size". A long-unseen character makes a return.

Here's a link to the thread for OOTS #G003, "Reboot to the Face". (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?316852-OOTS-G003-The-Discussion-Thread)

I'm ashamed to admit, it took me a few seconds to get the punchline.

Seriously, though, is wicker armor a thing? What source book is it from?

[hamishspence]

Arms & Equipment Guide I think.

[Rodin]

After a quick Google search, apparently wicker armor was a thing in real life too. Weird.

A long-unseen character makes a return.

YES!!!!! :smallcool:

The rest of the strip was pretty funny as well, but that made my morning. :smallsmile:

Thanks for reminding me I needed to download the pdf. I'd forgotten to when I saw it in my email earlier.

*reads*

*snickers*

*laughs*

I sense trouble ahead...

He's back!

Given how often the Heavily Templated Snail retreats, I'm beginning to see him as the OotS' version of Cobra Commander: a completely inept villain with a much higher sense of his own accomplishments. In fact I read the Snail's lines from this issue in the late Chris Latta's Cobra Commander voice. :smallbiggrin:

After actively wondering whether the inflation in OOTS main strip was caused by adventurers (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0122.html) or Vaarsuvius (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0640.html) or simply willful ignorance over what in-game stuff should actually costs (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0712.html), I quite enjoy a little strip that highlights the difference between adventurer expectations and the in-game economy.

Of course you realize it's a little much for the Order to get so much gold from a bored commoner with a rodent problem to begin with?
