OOTS #344 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[LE4dGOLEM]

Awesome tree gag! Durkon's worst nightmare has come TRUE!

AWESOME! FIRST!

[Flyerfye]

Great stuff as always

[dragonfly83h]

Great comic, Giant :D

Leeky must be one of Nale's new party members

Oh yeah: First page! :)

[BelkarsDagger]

Absolutely perfect comic.

"THA TREES ARE ATTACKING!!!!"

[j0ecool]

Nice new opposite. Hehe... ;D

[endoperez]

Ah...

" I see you have already grasped the core principles of my theory." Wonderful!

[Grimblade]

Hilarity! Yet another awesome comic!

A gnome druid to counter Durkon, huh? I can't wait to see Belkar's new nemesis!


Edit: <insert self-congratulatory first page comment>

[Winged One]

Verbose wizards FTW! ;D

[Keldar]

Poor Durkon. At least now we know Nale's answer to him. Gnome counterpart to Dwarf, Druid counterpart to Cleric, Treehugger counterpart to Tree-fearing.

Fun, fun, fun, and Belkar's opposite has yet to make an appearance. Plus Nale and Thog still waiting in the shadows. Looks like Big Trouble ahead for our heroes (as always).

Edit: And I forgot to mention - nice Arthur C. Clarke reference in the second panel.

[The_Magpie]

Heh. Leeky Windstaff indeed. :D I guess this is going to push Durkon's Arborophobia into new heights, and just when you thought there might be opportunity for counselling. And props to Giant for the explanation of the architecture.

I wonder who Belkar's new counterpart will be? Next comic, I guess.

EDIT: I'm not saying it, but I'm thinking it. ;D

[Abd al-Azrad]

I appreciate the new comic. Way to bring Durkon's paranoias into your battle plan, Nale. I wonder if that was premeditated, or merely coincidence.

Awesome. First page!

[thewamp]

And we meet Durkon's opposite. Quite the character :D

[Tptmanno1]

Great comic.
Beautiful set-up, made me actually laugh out loud, and that doesn't happen on the internet often.
Well done.

[ScreamerSimon]

Urinating dogs, beware!!!

Fantastic, a druid at last! Thanks for the comic, by the way!

[Penny]

Wow, when Rich starts updating the comic he really goes for it! Great work!

I loved the discussion about the inappropriate architecture of the city :)

[Brickwall]

Evil...gnome...druid...animating...trees...must... not...laugh...to...point...of...death.

Not a panel I didn't relish. I feel, however, that this one is to be no more significant than Yikyik. There for laughs, but only temporary.

[Max_Sinister]

Inappropriate architecture, indeed :)

The gnome druid is here, yeah!

"Leeky Windstaff"... dunno whether English-speakers think the same, but I find that name funny.

[Xedwin]

Coooooool ;D

[Freshmeat]

Nice comic. Good to see that this time around, they're not fighting their evil counterparts.

So now we have:
Roy vs. Sabine
V. vs. Leeky

Prediction:
- Durkon will run back inside to help Roy, but will end up battling Pompey
- Elan will fight Belkar's clone.
- Haley will end up fighting Nale. His looks will remind her of her love for Elan. Cue dramatic stuff. Somehow, Haley gets her voice back (at last!).
- Belkar, naturally, will fight Thog. There is no other way.

[Sc00by]

Now that was funny.

Nothign more to say. An evil druid making the trees attack! Great stuff!

[Behold_the_Void]

Great comic. I like the evil opposite.

[bluish_wolf]

Double-post. :-[

You know, there is a "Remove" button next to "Modify."

[Charity322]

Yay for more gnomes.:D

And yay for uber updating. :o

[Nighthawk4]

Very nice.

I love the 'definition of technology' :D



Edit - second page - unusual for someone in the UK. ;)

[ElfLad]

Wow, a major gnome character, and a major druid character.

Really, Rich, I never had much of a connection to Z, Hilgya, or Yikyik, but Pompey and Leeky are already some of my favorite characters. Well done.

[Sir_Rosh]

It's all kicking off!! Great comic as always.

Did I detect a little dig at a particular new campaign setting for D&D? Magic Trains indeed...

[Mr_Shrubber]

Poor Durkon - tha lad be scarred fer life. How did Nale know about his tree-phobia, though ???

And incongruous architecture RULES!

[phobiandarkmoon]

Wow, lots of updates now August is over

Great durkon opposite - Roy's plan is now falling apart really fast.

spolier/speculation possibilty below, so look only if you want to



Anyone noticed we haven't seen Nale yet? So he's probably after Elan and Belkar

Tha trees be attacking!

[Pantler]

Well, I guess there won't be more laughs about Durkon's fear of trees.
Totally off the hook :D
