The copyright-appeasement stuff.

My copy of DCF finally arrived today, and I think I've spotted two minor changes. Just thought it might be interesting to see what else had to be altered to avoid the wrath of the spooky wizard who lives by the coast.

What changes did you find?

1) In strip #16, the final phrase Durkon mishears is "Which is kinda cool", which he interprets as 'A lich is binding ghouls". In DCF, this is changed to just "Which is cool", and Durkon hears it as "A lich's ghoul"

2) In strip #30, when Elan tries to think of what the 'Squid thingy' is called, he thinks "Mind Flayer? Illithid? Psionic danger?" In DCF, this is changed to "Brain eater? Illithoid? Psionic danger?"

Number 2 was obvious, but I'm not sure why the first was changed.

#1 could just be a matter of the author deciding after the fact that he would have preferred slightly different dialogue, and happened to have the chance to change it for the printing of the book.

I noticed two or three, apart from the ones already mentioned:

1. When the team see Durkon as a Band-aid box, it's replaced with a generic bandage box.

2. When the Mind Fla Squid Thingy sees Elan's mind, he sees generic Diet Cola, instead of Diet Coke.

3. When Thog says "thog alone." to Roy, his mouth is now open, rather than closed in the online version.

Does that help?

'Cause they changed and bunch of stuff and gave into copyright laws?

There was another thread somewhere with a huge list of changes.

In comic #21 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0021.html) the large pool of blood under the chimera is removed.

And because the books have a bunch of comic strips that do not appear in the website...

And because the resolution of the printed page is better than on the screen...

And because of the foreword and afterword, as well as the comments by Rich Burley about the strip...

And other stuff.

So, yes, I guess you can say "they changed a bunch of stuff". In my opinion, for the better.
