It’s only the commentary this strip that made me realise the Edgar Allan Poe pun that was being done.
"And the Bunny nails it!" ~ Gabrael "If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we." ~ Cyran
Wow, wait what? Okay this whole weird subplot is cleverer than I realised.

The shuffling ensemble thing in the footnote always confuses me. Do such groups never have a session end mid dungeon? Are they running super small adventures or super long sessions? Most of my dungeons are designed to use the full XP budget for a day as per the 5th edition rules, such dungeons normally take 2-3 sessions to complete.

We're actually using 1981 Basic/Expert D&D rules. You can't finish a dungeon in one go without retreating to safety to heal up and refresh for a bit. Last dungeon we did took three sessions to complete, but the PCs retreated back to their village at the end of each session.

Chaotic Greedy
Been away from a little while, Sally's playing Kylo Ren, right? This episode's cast page doesn't say.
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."
Yes, she's playing Kylo Ren and Snoke.

Nine thousand nine hundred eighty-two reasons.
In reference to the blurb under the comic, I've always been confused by that idea that it's unrealistic for you to remain in the same location relative to the surface of Earth when you time travel?
Yeah, the Earth is revolving on its axis, and orbiting around the Sun, which is moving relative to the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is itself moving away from most any other galaxy. But that doesn't mean that it's "correct" to take into account all that motion? It's in fact a tenet of physics that there is no way to do that; in general relativity there's no privileged reference frame, one which is more correct than any other reference frame. (In special relativity inertial frames are privileged over noninertial frames, but that's not really relevant to this.)
Description of motion in the frame where the Earth is still is fundamentally just as correct as any other description of motion. To be able to talk about motion at all, you have to pick a reference frame. It's a funny thing where people try to do a bit of physics pedantry that's actually relying on our naive idea that there is an absolute frame of reference that all motion is happening against. But that's been soundly rejected by every current model of physics.
And if you have a machine that does time travel via teleport-y motion in spacetime, it must pick a reference frame, so why not pick the useful one? You could definitely have a system where the time travel system requires the motion be relative to one specific frame, say the center of the sun... But that's an unusual limitation with some interesting implications about how the time travel system must work, not what should be one's default imagination.
Mostly does better things now. Key word mostly. Writes things, but you'll never find them. Or you can ask.
