OOTS #711 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[The Rose Dragon]

I hadn't laughed at OotS in some time.

This strip was a nice change, though.

[Nerocite]

Oh first edition...

Good comic.

[Cisturn]

awesome it loaded up while i was on the site!

[t3h l3g1t m4g3]

Wow the comics have been coming fast recently. Great comic too! I wonder where the first piercing was though.

[PhantomFox]

How long have you been waiting to pull THAT joke? But well done!

[CoffeeIncluded]

.....*Starts laughing* Nice one! Can't wait to see who's up next! (And what shenanigans they'll get into. )

[Forever Curious]

Ah, finally some nice simple humor again.

[Manicotti]

As someone who plays a rogue-type character in almost every RPG that gives the option...

*twitch*

[hamishspence]

yes- and the point about unrealistic looks for adventurers is a good one.

[Drolyt]

That was a pretty darn funny strip, brightened my day. The update schedule is nice too. Keep up the good work Giant!

[brionl]

So Haley isn't having much luck with her gather information either.

[Aragehaor]

"Wait a minute, the tough-looking chick at the bar told me that this was the place where i could find a bunch of thieves and robbers!"

Awesome page Giant, especially liked the title.

[derfenrirwolv]

What, no slurpee joke?

Although are they unrealistic expectations when the system allows the leather dental floss +5 to have the same protective value as a suit of platemail?

[Mariel Dragon]

Ingenious.

[Private-Prinny]

At first I thought it was a typo, but then I read it and laughed. The last panel was gold.

[Chainsaw Hobbit]

Hmmmm, I think the last comic was funnier but the art was good.

[Mando Knight]

The rouge angles of satin strike again.

[Phoenix Xul]

Heh, great strip.

[hamishspence]

Looks like this prediction:

I expect that we'll have one strip for each OOTS party member, showing us their particular style of gathering information... and I expect the Belkar strip will involve numerous dead bodies.

stands a chance of being correct. We've had an Elan strip, a Haley strip- maybe the others will get them.

Or maybe it will go straight to them meeting the others, and theirs will be summed up with "no luck" or something like that.

[mucat]

Rich, that was awful!

And I loved it! Thanks!

"Hey! Our retail prices are competitive!"

[Shale]

Okay, that was awesome.

[RebelRogue]

I get that Aton is the egyptian name for the sun, but I feel I am missing something here

[Optimystik]

Okay, I take it back... filler can be quite entertaining.

"The Aton Lady"

[hamishspence]

There was a "rouge" reference in Origin of PCs, but aside from that, I can't think of any offhand in the main strip, before this one.

I get that Aton is the egyptian name for the sun, but I feel I am missing something here

I've usually seen it spelled Aten, but Haley's "where the sun-disk doesn't shine" seemed like a nod to it.

[Woodsman]

Awesome.

Keep rolling, Giant.

[Water-Smurf]

I liked the last panel. Everyone needs to get at least one jab in at the freakish expectations of the adventuring women.

[Kurald Galain]

That was really funny :P

[Jokasti]

Does Aton mean something, or is that just the name of the company?

[Optimystik]

Does Aton mean something, or is that just the name of the company?

It's a parody of "Avon" a cosmetics company known for very aggressive marketing and female saleswomen.
