No, of course not, but what I said before is that Thunt has made a point of telling us that he's setting Goblins in a homebrew setting loosely based on D&D but with a massively detailed backstory and loads of custom rules that he's used in his own gaming sessions. Thus, he infers (and explicitly states at times) that the comic follows those rules.
However, the obscure and arcane nature of these rules, combined with the fact that Thunt often expounds on the rules in the very same comic that he uses them (or in an associated blog post) makes them indistinguishable to the casual reader from stuff he's just making up on the spot. They have no internal consistency for the reader.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Also it's a point that everything that happens is potentially possible under the rules of this 'Verse. Which is more or less there to make "they rolled a natural 20" a valid excuse for just about anything that happens here.
Well, yeah. The idea that Thunt is actually rolling dice behind the scenes is risible. "Oops, Minmax just crit-fumbled and cut his own head off. Well, scratch that character." The crew have been seen to sustain way more damage than can be taken by characters of their purported levels, as well.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Maybe he didn't realise it rhymes?
The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableHe's unable to rhyme on purpose. So long as nobody tells him it rhymes, he's fine.
Granted this means someone will eventually tell him and he'll never be able to say it again.
Remember, he wields the power of oblivious! Or even obliviousness...
Just gonna write that all down so it's easier to read:
the ears will not hear they want the book but they need to complain
the mount is backwards it is displaced the levels are gained outside of time
she saw but misunderstood the name is not right
death of a goblin death of a god
the hammer awaits
two coins for a dead dwarf another leg lost
when the serpent becomes his prey
friends become enemies
and love will fuel hate.
Wow, Fumbles, contain all that foreshadowing, why don't you? It's leaking out your ears.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"His Plot Armor seems to have sprung a leak. There's plot everywhere.
Does it seem weird to anyone else that the klik patch on Forgath's shoulder seems to be made out of the exact same material as his stone gauntlet, which is totally unrelated to the kliks?
It doesn't strike me as particularly out there that there would be one klik that looks stony, and the fairly simple art style means we can't be too sure exactly how similar they look.
On the update, at least warped kliks can't be that hard to stop if they're batting 0-48 for sealing the world-destruction deal, right?
I imagined Big Ears having a slightly lighter voice. :hmm
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!I have read entirely too much Redwall not to do a double take at someone being disappointed to get a celestial badger in a fight.
I know too much about badgers. A grumpy badger with nothing to lose is not good news for those within rending distance.
Something Something Dire Badger, Something Something Bloodwrath
About to be eaten from within?
The creature doesn't seem to be made of something hazardous like acid or lava...
Any semblance of this comic playing by the rules of an actual D&D-like world went out the window a long time ago. Absolutely nothing makes sense when viewed through that lens.
