Thank you! Seriously, you've asked that question like ten times now, so stop! They live in swamps because I want them to live in swamps, and they've got gray skin because they're subspecies of regular elves and the genetic mutations that provide increased resistance to waterborne and mosquito-borne diseases do weird things to drows' melanin!

Somehow I knew there'd be an answer for this question that had SCIENCE.:smallbiggrin: I was just gonna suggest it's "the gods made it that way", because it being a D&D setting obviously means you should go back to the assumptions of the Middle Ages. :smalltongue:

Well, I am a biology major. :smalltongue: Anything made of physics is going to be pretty sketchy, despite my best efforts, but I'm going to try my hardest to make the biology good.

Really? Beccause it's been answered several times before. Just because they're called Drow doesn't mean they have to be like all the other Drow in every other setting.

While I don't post often in this thread, I certainly see all the goings on here. And I have to agree that, yes, Coffee has answered this question many a times.
The fact that you asked this question *again* T209, and then answered in that particular way gives us the impression that you're just doing this on purpose to annoy us. So, please stop doing these sort of things. Many of us are not appreciating it.

Again, this. The only reason I answered the question for the umpteenth time time was because I hadn't mentioned the melanin thing. And even so, what does it matter? t209, when I talked about your actions on the forum that are making people lose their patience with you, I wasn't just talking about the references. I'm trying to say this as nicely as possible, but I need to be blunt: There's a place for you here, but only if you make a real effort to change your behavior and become a productive member of the forum, which you are not doing.

Maybe I should stop being curious on Universe Lore questions.

I think your generalizing it a little. From my time here I've felt that coffee loves answering lore questions about her world. The issue arises with questions that have been asked very frequently and could be answered if you looked back a couple of pages. Also think about the way you ask, it's more important than what you actually ask. Try not to make too many assumptions in the question or tie it into another form of media (this includes tvtropes. Try to avoid that one especially) and when you do make comparisons to other works, (Also keeping in mind that there is more than just elder scrolls out there and that ES is by no means a standard for all fantasy.) make them general ones. Not very specific.

This is an excellent suggestion. Here, for example:
Instead of saying "Did you come up with this idea from this story?"
Say "Where did you come up with this idea?"
The second option is stand alone and asks everything you want. And as a bonus, doesn't force the one who is answering to look up the other form of media you were pointing to if that person has no knowledge of it to begin with.
In some of my stories, I remember some people saying my stuff sounded similar to other sources that I never heard of. Every time that happened, I would feel bad and eventually stopped telling those stories because of fear of someone already "having" the idea. But I've learned since then that each world is its own and that coming up with an original idea is more then what happened in the story, its from where the artist got the inspiration to tell the story how they wanted.
So yeah, just ask the question generally and not compare it to some other form of media. Because if the answer is the artist came up with it him/herself, then the answer to the comparison question will always be, no they did not.

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
Just something to note, that Loyd isn't near Kago doesn't means that Lex has death by plot immunity, for example once (if) Rust get to power he may very well order to execute him due imaginary charges or even cause he has plaavan blood, and then Miles must contact Loyd and co. to a) Let them know the execution will take place in X time and they can try to save Lex or b) Lex has been executed. Which most likely will make the party go toward Kago to save, get revenge or extract his other friends.

So what will happen to Janine now that she talked with Laria high priest?

That's an excellent example of how to word your questions in the future. Sadly an answer from Coffee would spoil the story.
Speculation time!!! :smallbiggrin:

So we know that she is becoming less sex crazed and her sex craze came from

Johan's chronic raping. Well, Johan might be living alone in a monastery. Kinda feel less funnier when you learn the depth of a perverted cleric.

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
She will leave the group and join a convent, because Coffee never liked her anyway. :smalltongue:

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
So who will be the replacement healer if Janine left?
BTW, what is the character sheet for Tinder (like class, stats and other D&D whatnots)?

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
I think this comic is following OotS's path in not giving characters explicit stats unless the plot requires it.
Also, I wouldn't count on the comic cutting back to Laria for at least another few strips. There are still some obvious loose ends that need to be tied up in Kago. Most notably, Murphy and Alexis wouldn't be helplessly Strength-poisoned right now if something isn't about to happen that requires them to move about. I'm still putting my money on a follow-up assassination attempt.
I don't think Janine would leave Team Gale right now anyways. Radic's her best friend, and Lloyd's still her romantic target. I can imagine that she'd be a little more reserved in going after Lloyd now, however, and there's the possibility that she could eventually lose interest in him entirely, but I don't think she'd give up him cold turkey.

In Universe question, what kind of grenade was Matthew holding (I am thinking spider goo grenade since Radec says "Don't")? Is it Arcane powered grenade or gunpowder grenade like the ones in pirate movies?

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
Update today or tomorrow, guys!

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
I just did an archive binge of the comic, and a very interesting idea just crossed my mind. Say Rust comes back in a few strips and says this:
"I just performed an analysis on the weapons. They're Larian - and, even worse, they were very expensive. Someone would have to be in the nobility to put these in an assassin's hands."
Rust will probably be lying if he says this, but can you imagine what kinds of conclusions Murphy would jump to and what his resulting actions would be?
Also, Prince Riley's coronation is going to happen in a few days. Just thought I should bring that up.

Ahhh, yes! The brainless fanatics coming over to the Town where they allow the rights of "savages" (Then again Plavaan prefer to live in ghettos rather than stabbed by other people).

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
Aww, its just Rust doing evil smart villain things. He's a cool villain, but I'm a bit tired of the evil analytical villain right now.:smallsigh: I just don't care for him. Can Murphy just stab him so we can find out more about Johan?:smalltongue:
