Say, I've just noticed how common those belts are. Are they significant, or are they just to look cool?

All characters spawn with a basic belt. While these belts have no real use, they do give a minor bonus to the character's armor rating. Sure, some of the PCs have a suit of armor (Maxios, Grlump, Crimson Angel, Superdark) that provide a large bonus, but that doesn't mean they don't need another, tiny bonus to their armor rating.

To people who understand Latin: Don't talk about what the Lord of Shadows says in 156. In fact, try to forget Latin before reading this strip, to make sure you don't see the major plot spoilers.

To people who don't understand: Don't google what the Lord of Shadows says in 156, unless you want major plot spoilers.

What about those of us who don't understand, aren't using Google, and are just guessing based on vague and probably inaccurate ideas of what the words sound like?

As for the Omnitopia Heal/Hurt, it seems intriguing. I wonder what my ability will be?

I'm fine with that. I just don't want someone to post the meaning of it or anything similar to it on this thread, and spoil it for people.

I have two things to tell you guys about:
The first, and least important. A few months after I created O:TP, I joined a forum my friend, TheMagicalCake, was a moderator on. There, I created another Omnitopia. Omnitopia: The Tavern. Unfortuantly, the forum was rather small and I gained only three permissions (one of which was from myself), and the comic never made it past this strip:

The second, and the single most important thing you will ever read, I am giving myself the greatest gift a man can give himself on his birthday: the gift of business.
That's right folks, on May 9th, I am going to start selling crap on Cafepress, some of which may be related to Omnitopia.
And before you grab your pitchforks and torches (or call your lawyers, depending on whether or not you live in Transylvania), the only characters that will appear on the merchandise will be original characters (like Maxios, The Server, the Ninja Goblins, Goblin King Cole, etc).
Some of these shirts and other bits of merchandise will also have lines from the comic, as well. Remember folks, each dollar you spend on Omnitopia merchandise goes to an important charity: the Fill Maxios' Wallet Orginization (or, FMWO).
And, for each day leading up to my birthday (and my birthday itself) I'm going to release a special Omnitopia thing. They're not really strips, because they're only one panel.

Ok, but before that happens please let me link you here, specifically the part that says this:

As far as non-commercial, we ask that any fan comic posted here also refrain from selling merchandise or accepting donations for their work for as long as you are getting the essentially free advertising of having your updates posted on this forum. If you feel like you have a sufficient readership of your own to warrant such moves, we ask that you stop using the fan comic forum to promote it. Again, you are encouraged to start a thread about it on the Webcomics forum, but please don’t post each update anymore.

tl:dr: If you sell Omnitopia stuff, Mods will kick you out of Fan Comics.

I'm fine with a thread move to Webcomics.
Also, I don't really think of O:TP as a fan comic, I mean, if I could actually draw the comic wouldn't even be OotS style.

You'd also have to host the comic and update it off site, the thread in Webcomics would only be for discussion...

Well, it's not like every single thing is going to have characters from Omnitopia slapped on it with READ OMNITOPIA: THE PLAYGROUND on the back (come to think of it now, I might just buy a shirt that saws that just for myself for free advertising purposes).
The only shirt I've come with that is remotely related to Omnitopia is one about gnomes getting punted (and I've even come up with a dwarven version of it; and neither of them mention Omnitopia in any way)

Okay, I've decided to change it to every two days instead of every day. Here's yesterday's, since I forgot to post it

The chest was actually made of metal, but had an illusion on it to make it look like wood.

Akrim! No!

While I knew there were fell deeds going on, the gravity of the situation is even greater now. Why did Grlump have to fall for that one? Because of him plunging ahead carelessly like that, a good PC has fallen and our chances have plummeted...

Okay, I'll drop it now.

Superdark joined the server a few minuets after it got up. after the goblin-king incident, where he killed the traitor, he retreated deep into the mountains. he digged his way inside, building his underground stronghold, Animating golems to guard him while he plans. He constantly assaulted spawncity and the cabinet, never succeeding, but always causing damage.


One day, when he was sitting in his Dark caveran, he Recieved a letter:

Meet me at the eastern shore, i wantt to talk.
Superdark went to the shore, escorted by a squad of ninjas, to meet the sender.

Huh, you actually came.

Get to the point.
I need you to join a team to kill lord of the shadows
Why should i? you will probably run off with all the credit and the fame, like you did in the beggining.
Lord of the shadows turned powerfull, and he took the book of necromancy.
Yes i know that. i even got to the place where the book was before him. i marked the place and positiond a statue that would ask him a riddle to troll him before he puts his hands on the book.
You did!? why didnt you destroy it?!

Too much potential in it. i intend to put it in my library where no one will ever see it again.

The cabinet should have it, no single person should be allowed to hold such power.

And a bunch of low class* mages does?! pah! if you really want help, why dont you talk to the other players? they would be glad to join you. especialy because you are their role-model with your power suit. just thinking that you make the newbies like you makes me sick.

You will get your fame! you will not be forgotten! you will also get tons of Exp!

It is not easy to bribe me with the goods you can offer.

The Impending apocalypse will kill you too!

Not while i am hiding.
You cant hide forever!

Watch me.
LOS still holds a grudge on you yknow.

Since when?
Since the start, dont you remember? when you didnt attempt to save him when he bled to death?

Yknow what? I will join but in 3 conditions:
1. I will get the largest part of Exp
2. the tower will be mine after we are done, but you can take the loot.
3. I will keep the book.
This is my final offer.

I can work with that.

Then its done. get back to your petty city.

Superdark vanished away to his stronghold.
and maxios walked back to the city. with another ally in this fight.

The fool will not be able to withstand any serious attack on his city.
Soon.

Shamless inter-forum advert: JOIN THE WEREWOLF GAMEZ NAO!

Ahm yes.


Maxios: In my sig there is a dark pony, on its right buttcheek there is a sign, it is my mark. put it on my armor instead of my face, so i could simpathize better with my charecter.

And may you darken the armor a little bit? kthx.

*low class as not high class, or like a sir (search feel like a sir in google pictures and youll see)

That's quite an interesting story, Super Dark, although I don't understand what's with that one asterisk. Was there supposed to be a footnote that I didn't notice?

As for the new chapter, the title is pretty accurate. At least we left behind some good characters to deal with them, right? RIGHT?

...I really hope puns deal decent damage to zombies.

Now I'm curious as to the chances of this being an uncontrolled zombie apocalypse...

[Maxios]

Explanation time of how Ramsus was into The Lord of Shadow's room. Soon after entering the tower, Ramsus disguised himself as a zombie, and Tyndmyr used up his teleport spell to cause Ramsus to warp into The Lord of Shadow's room.
Due to the fact that the Book occasionally causes undead to spawn in it's radius, the Lord of Shadows paid no attention to the new "zombie" that appeared.

[Ramsus]

lol, I actually didn't see that coming because I was expecting me to join him or just sit out the fight and go "what do I get out of this?" It fits though, hehehe.

@Super Dark: Your little story is nice but, has some problems. 1) I don't think Maxios really would have agreed to give you the tower. 2) It isn't his to give. 3) By requesting such things and being so anti-mage you're just quickening our eventual showdown where I ditch you with an illusion to go have a sandwich instead.

[Maxios]

It's my birthday now, but due to various problems and complications, I can't sell crap on Cafepress.
