Goblins: Life Through Their Eyes

"Dude. I'm, like, right here."

Or he's such a batshit fanatic that the concept of stealth checks doesn't even enter his mind.

Paladins usually have fullplate(which has super high ACP and low dex modifier bonus to AC cap) so they usually also have bad dex and they don't get any sort of bonus on stealth from class either. Plus their code of conduct encourages them to be less sneaky anyway

So both makes sense, him having awful stealth skill and not bothering to roll it since he would fail it anyway Even him not ever bothering to invest in stealth makes sense

The author has come out as transgender. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Good on her. Going by that second link, it's doing her a world of good.

I have nothing against Thunt; I think it's great that she is working on her personal issues. It just makes me wonder: so many of these tormented creators end up revealing that they have been coping with depression, anxiety, gender and sexuality problems... is there a correlation?

I just saw Late Night with my wife, and I found the underlying message of how so many comedians use their comedy to cope with depression to resonate very deeply with my experience with people in that profession.

How does it go again? The saddest people smile the brightest?

I've heard that, to make people laugh, you have to draw on tragedy, and what better well of that then your own experience.

I'm a writer and I struggle with depression and anxiety. I don't really know why it's so common but it's basically a given in the writing communities I run in.

As rude as it is to speculate on people's gender identity and sexuality, I did suspect this a while back based on a lot of stuff she had written piblically about gender and her approach to writing female characters. I'm really happy for her and ai have faith this will turn her life around.

It's not a universal solution, though.

But, I'm happy for her, regardless. She's had it rough for a solid decade. The next one will be hard, but I very much doubt as horrible.

New page.

It occurs to me that the best use of the golem might be to simply grapple Kore, and then turn it off. As long as the golem is too strong for Kore to break free, he's then trapped there indefinitely.

Yeah I figured the best solution was for everyone Goblin-pile on Kore again, then Minmax puts the helmet on, waits 3 turns, then puts him in a headlock with the statue. At which point everyone just chips away at his HP till he's at -10

Too bad they didn't have a week at their desks to figure that stuff out.

Given that this is Kore, he may have some activatable "freedom of movement" magical item that would magically get him out of a grapple.

Also Minmax is not in the room.

I mean. I figured it out immediately upon learning that the helmet only lasts 4 rounds.

I"m starting to wonder if Kore might be on his way out. Not, like, he's going to be defeated today or tomorrow. But that the culmination of his story might be reaching a head soonish.

The plot is slowly starting to introduce threats far greater in scope and danger than Kore himself, in the same way Kore was far greater in scope and danger than Dellyn and his brood. That, combined with the fact that his story is accelerating, yet he hasn't really changed as an antagonist the entire course of his existence, plus our now getting some information his past that shows he's actually a casualty of said more dangerous threats, makes me wonder if the moment where his threat turns on its head and the characters grow beyond his presence (not in terms of power, but in terms of character) is nigh.

Anniversary tweet thread

New page. We may have an entire face soon!

For a given value of "face".

I was going to say "enough material to make a face out of?" after seeing the comments but before reading the strip.

But oh boy that is a whole lot of face going on.

Didn't we see his full head before? When his helmet got knocked off in the fight wth Forgath?

Look, that fight right outside this same dungeon was like 32 years ago...

My grandpa told me about it when I was just a little one.

Update
