OOTS #321 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

Since there was no comic Monday, there will definitely be one Fridayish this week, so there will still be two.

[aegron]

It's here! Finally!! :)

And a fine one at that :D

Edit to say: first!!

[Rei_Jin]

Ah, internal consistency. I've done that to my players before.

"what happened to our horses?"

"did you remember to tie them up at any point, feed them, brush them down, or in general do anything but ride them?"

"no, but I don't see what this has to do with anything..."

*forehead slap*

[koumdros]

ohohohoh
adventure begins!

vanishing horses :)

and kudos to the estra smart vamishing act:

"what do you mean i am not wearing my armor, that i ditched yesterday in order to get out of the river"

"diud you tell me that your character would TRY to recover it? "
"no uhm but i would never...."

and

Go elan!

[Guancyto]

A retcon joke? Marvelous!

It's setup rather than progression but I'll take what plot I can get!

[semcapital]

First page, Uhu!!!
And the world didn't end! :D

Hahaha, great comic! I'm still laughing my "wrr" off.

[jellyroll713]

FIRST PAGE! Great comic giant!

[KayJay]

Yay it's up, been waiting for this :)
Edit: Ok read the comic now :) Have to say I didn't see the punchline coming up... trust Elan to show intelligence at the most inopportune moment :)

[houseofcommons]

Great comic, Rich. Hope things are well for you! The wait is definately worth it.

Edit: First page! Woot! A first for me.

[Crusher]

Wow, first page.

[Gary_Howard]

NEW COMIC INCOMING!

How many times has this happened to our group? The druid has lost her horse, had to leave it behind, or had it die so many times that she refuses to get another on the grounds that it would be cruelty.

And we're only, like.. level 5.

[kaairn]

nice one giant :D got to love retconn jokes. the amount of times I've had to do similar things :D

*my first "first page" 'cheers'*

[Gerrtt]

Nice one.

[Illirion]

Hahaha,
That's why I like the adventuring comics!
I can't even begin to count how many times that happened during one of our campaigns ;D .

Oh I almost forgot:

First page, whooptiedoo! (my first time!)

(Edited for typos)

[dragonfly83h]

Great comic, Giant. You haven't lost your touch ;)

Heh, looks like the DM realised that they weren't supposed to have those horses, and corrected the mistake.

[edit] Yehaa! First time I ever made first page! :D

[terrainmonkey]

excellent! i've had this happen too many times in my own games so it's a cute strip. great stuff. keep it up

Darn, thought i was going to be on the first page today, oh well. i'll settle for 1st of second. WOOT!

[TheJet31619]

Awesome comic yet again Giant. The horses/dog going POP! was awesome.

[Ronald_saveloy]

There are questions, that should never be asked!

[Nikolai_II]

Heh - Roy had the right idea when he tried to ignore Elan ;)

[Kanashimi]

So funny! I think everyone who has gamed knows that feeling. Wait, we're not supposed to have these, aw crap they would have been really useful.

Great job!

[armatil]

call it internal consistency, reality backflow, or whatever... eveybody's been there, and to see it depicted in oots is just hilarious ;D

it's funny because it is true...

[Spit_Dog]

My dwarf cleverly forgot a pack horse with all his gold on it once. I was so distraught that the DM threw some role-playing XP my way....

[Denizen_Smith]

Had to sack a DM once for doing that to our party

Us: "we tie our horses up for the night"

DM: "what horses? you didn't say you were riding your horses when you left the citadel three days ago. They're still in the stables"

Us: ::)


EDIT: First and most likely last time my post will be as high as page 2. I believe "WOOT!" is the accepted expression

[ElCapitanStormcrow]

weee second page.

yay that was a very cool joke in the end :D

/me dances to the room, laughing and full of hurt as he stabs on something stabby.

[Ronald_saveloy]

Yeah, I know this! Last weekend, our party crossed the whole realm to get the the starting point of the new adventure and we completely cut out the part of careing for your mount:
"You leave the city of Trallop, capital of the duchy of willows. After two weeks of travel, you reach the port-town of Perricum."

Heck, we even cut out the complete voyage! :o

[tee_kay_one]

yeah, the riding dachshund is back! i love it. oh, wait... it's gone again... ;D


EDIT: is dachshund a word at all? i mean, dackel, you know, the ugly longish dogs... ah, never mind

[Kruul]

Here I aaaaaaaaaam.... on the road again........ here I gooooooo... Turn the paaaaaaaaaaage!

[dan4ster]

Huzzah! The comic returns! Great comic!

[Tekar]

Yay, been a long time since there was another wink to real life p&p mistakes that everybody makes. They were one of the reasons I liked OotS back in the days. (like #18 and #34)

[Gamaliel_the_Bard]

Absolutely Hi - larious!!!!!

Being the guy who keeps notes during the D&D adventures and can reference the details three or four nights later...ELAN Rules with the memory...and the unfortunate side effect of such detail recall.

ROFLMAO!
