    • Cheap shots at die rolls.
    • Jokes about skill/feat investment.
    • Other parodied mechanics usually accompanying most OOTS-style comics(at least in the beginning)
      *-not saying that these aren't enjoyable now and then.

    And yet it's approaching it's 10th strip without one hint of any game system while still being very amusing... maybe this is another charm to the comic...
    That's how I interpret it, anyway.

    So I'll ask: -Bright, is this something that just happened to be so, or are you really avoiding these things deliberately, have you taken-on the challenge of leaving an OOTS-style comic free of mechanics?
