Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
If that is what he meant, that never happened in the arena anyway--he fed the intestines of the guy killed by Mr. Scruffy to a guard, he certainly never strangled anyone with their *own* guts!

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
I've heard of scenery chewing, lampshades, jumping the shark, etc. long before I ever looked at tvtropes. Which I only even knew existed thanks to these forums, and which I've never looked at again (didn't find it interesting).
So I'm voting against you on that one, if you don't mind.
EDIT: Note to self...finish reading other posts so that I don't just repeat the same thing other people have saidLast edited by Peelee; 2011-11-09 at 05:42 PM.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
SpoilerThis is the thief who likes to hoard,
That loves the bard with the puppet Lord
That admires the fighter with the green-hilted sword,
That employs the Wizard, whose bird is ignored,
That has the gender unexplored
That intrigues the Halfling, usually bored,
That slew a mountain of the goblin horde,
That follows the cleric,
That serves the lich,
That seeks the gate,
That guards the snarl,
That lives in the prison the gods built.
guess what I was gone but now I'm back

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
It confused me at first too. The other characters and creatures just have dots for eyes, compared to the brontosaurus, which has one with a little more detail.
A potent relic of the past. 'Tis said the wearer commands the wisdom of kings, and can see the unseeable.
Like the grue lurking in your bedroom waiting for you to fall asleep.
But perhaps some things are better left unseen...

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
I just made a thread, actually - Roy's eyes are backwards.
I mistyped my username.
Shucks.

It's only Haley who's confused about what will hurt Sabine--Elan knows just fine.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
It was first sort of verified back in WaXP, when Rich called her a "succub[us]-type," then Cedrik confirmed that she's a succubus in #637.
Roy, Belkar, and Durkon probably learned that she was a demon when they picked up the wanted poster, and either Durkon gave it to Haley so now they all know, or Tarquin told Elan at some point off-panel.
Also, I don't think that's the brontosaurus's eye. There doesn't seem to be any border around it, so it's probably an eye marking or "indent," like the allosaurus. It has the standard beady yellow eyes.Last edited by Gift Jeraff; 2011-11-14 at 06:34 PM.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
I'm sure i'm not the only person to have mentioned this, but I didn't notice Trigak, even though I read Dungeon Crawling Fools once before, until I read Rich calling it out in the book on a re-read.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
You're correct, as far as I can see -- I just blew it up, and there's no edge at all around this so-called "eye". And it's just a darker shade of the brontosaurus' general skin tone, too. So, unless the brontosaurus has an eye without an edge and whose white is dark greenish-grey, it looks like that's just a shaded hollow, and the eye itself is a round black dot with a small white dot of reflected light in it.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
You do understand that an image on a webpage has a limit to the level of detail you can show. Small objects become blocky when you zoom in. What you describe i9s exactoly ho9w a properly drawn eye would appear.
I'm sure it will be more obvious when it comes out on paper. That has a higher resolution and allows much finer detail..

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
If you only have 9 or so pixels to work with, yes. The green cornea may also be due in part to aliasing. On the other hand, perhaps brontosaurs have naturally yellow-green corneas.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Okay, whatever. You have your opinion, and I have mine. It's no skin off my nose, though your slightly patronizing tone in the first response is a trifle annoying. "You do understand" was pretty much unnecessary, IMO, other than as an attempt to put me in my place, since your statement would have been perfectly clear without it.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
I just noticed that the another empire Tarquin supports is called the Empire of Tears... I'm now fully expecting an Empire of Sweat
