Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Nitpicky criticism, that is fine, but: what does the parenthetical comment mean?

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
It's an "Even Evil has Standards" reference (TVTropes warning), alluding to Belkar turning down the gnome's offer to buy him lunch, apparently because he felt bad about basically scamming her out of half the price of the clasp.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
I think it is both a reference to Belkar's stated reason for turning down the date (he doesn't like gnomish cuisine) and that despite being Evil there are certain things he can't bring himself to do*. I think it might read better just as "but has standards".
*In other words, it's another way of saying the trope "Even Evil Has Standards"

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
When I saw the new comic, it was a couple of hours after the fact and I was so sure there would be a summary already, I didn't even bother to check
In another nitpick, I must say I'm not keen on the "standards" remark. I don't recognize the TVtropes reference (I know what TVtropes is but I'm not a fan). And if we take the word at face value, I don't think Belkar has any standards to speak of. At least, it remains to be proven. He suddenly didn't feel like exploiting the kindly gnome woman any further than he already had. That's the most we can say, and he could very well do this or worse to somebody else the next day.DM in Mummy's Mask I, II, III | Keshkaru and Ozkrak in Extinction Curse | Marzena in Age of Worms | Elrembriel in Wrath of the Righteous | Gurmok in Nightmare in Katapesh | DM in Catacombs of Ravenloft Avatar courtesy of Neoseph7

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
I feel like him turning down the date with the gnome woman, and then stumbling out a line to his cat about "bad enough I was-" indicates some type of reservations there. I originally had a note about him maybe being less evil than before, but I thought that would be too controversial, and this was a more ambiguous phrasing about it.
I don't wanna start a whole Belkar's character development debate, but I feel like that sequence is going to be one of this comic's most memorable parts, and I'd like to have some reference to it. Does anyone have an alternate suggestion?Last edited by DaggerPen; 2014-12-02 at 12:11 AM.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
I read it as "the gnome girl does not meet Belkar's standards", wrong in a different way. I think it's okay to say Belkar seems less evil. He does.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Some strips are rather straightforward to summarize.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Perhaps "By the way, Crystal's some sort of innovative golem"?
Or "Bi" if the pun needs to be spelled out.

The "by the way" suggestion amuses me - if there are no objections in a timely-ish fashion, I'll toss it in.Last edited by DaggerPen; 2015-01-14 at 04:28 PM.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
Can't say I like it to be honest. Not sure why. Of course it's a pun in English, so my judgement on it isn't the most qualified. Anyway, I like the summaries to be as crisp and short as possible. Throwing in another few words without information is a step in the wrong direction imo. But if you feel strongly about it, then by all means go ahead, it's not the end of the world.

Re: OOTS Strip Summaries
While this is a great discovery (just found out about it), some strips do need clearer names like #648 should probably have the text "Crystal dies" in it alongside with the current name. Some of these strips were years ago and not remembering a joke, especially one with an odd spelling (Roland 'Itiative) is hard.
Just my 2 cp. And thanks for indexing!
