Sgamer82: In response to the recent edit "So Ben is a college student who lives with his parents and has to babysit his little sister? I'd say it's implausible, except that this is a comic about Dn D." Why's it so implausible? First of all, there's no reason he has to be living with his parents to babysit his sister. Even if he does, there's a few good reasons for it. Can't afford his own place on top of school, no dorms, home is simply close by, etc.
Kizor: So, what trope is it that everyone seems to be played by their opposites? The level-headed sage is played by a violent hackenslasher, the young and naive apprentice by the smart guy, Anakin by the group's best actor, et cetera.
Mr Death: I don't think that is a trope. I honestly can't think of any other work that's used that device, mostly because there's very few other works that reimagine major motion pictures as tabletop roleplaying games. It's not a trope, it's just a straight up gag, a reversal of expectations.
Inyssius: "Ultimately minor"? They blew up the moon!
Essex: What is a gundark?
Kalaong: Okay, we need an army of tropers to examine their interpretation of the factory chase in Attack of the Clones. It was one of the most awesome scenes in the movie, and now we can see it as Lucas ramming railroad ties up the characters butts. And it just goes on and on...
Essex: So, there's another subversion there? I mean, I can't seem to tell any Hen Way-ish puns from gundark, unlike kaadu (which would sound like 'cardoo', given Obi-Wan's accent).
Pickly: Is there any reason to continue keeping Jim playing Padme as a spoiler? I can see how it was a spoiler at episode 1, but now that the comic is most of the way through episode 2, it doesn't seem to make as much sense to keep things that way. We also haven't been spoilering stuff like Pete being the GM, which in a way is even more out of the blue than Jim playing Padme.
