Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments
Inserted (almost) all of the suggestions. Thanks, everyone.
I'm going to have to go through and do more organizing at some point in the future as well."And yet, will we ever come to an end of discussion and talk if we think we must always reply to replies?

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments
Having just accidentally necro'd the thread about the acidborn shark (most likely via a link from this thread that I neglected to check), I just thought that I should mention that the answer to my question was no.
So he's not allowed to tell us about the material that was cut. WotC owns it and it will likely remain lost forever :(
I'd quote him, but it was in a PM asking me to be more careful not to necro threads (my bad!). I guess that may not qualify as a statement for this thread, but I thought that maybe other people would want to know the sad fate of that lost material.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments
According to internet etiquette*, but shouldn't private messages be kept... private? No it doesn't qualify as thread material. That said, as FujinAkari showed, the same fact has been stated publically. I'm not sure it is notable enough to keep in the Index. I suspect most people don't ask about this issue - most probably don't even know about it.

I may have missed it, but I see nothing about Tsukiko's Amazing Wight-Making Spell in the index.

Here's a bit on why the comic shifted focus from D&D jokes to a long-term story.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments
If you go to reddit.com and go to the Giant's user page (/user/RichBurlew), you'll see a lengthy comment on publishing philosophy. It also mentions SOPA. I'm not sure if it's acceptable to link it (mods could you advise?), but I'm sure one can find it without too much trouble.

It also features a commentary on otal sex.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments
Updated with this comment.
I've read it and thought about it and I'm not going to add it at the moment. Here's why: 1) The information is kinda redundant, as it is primarily addressed in the link about PDFs that we already have. If this gets brought up in discussions or whatever, we already have a link to point people to. 2) The SOPA stuff may be interesting but isn't really related to the strip. 3) Rich does use language that he admits he wouldn't allow on this forum. That comment wasn't intended for this forum, but to those on reddit. I'm like to stay on the safe side, so we probably are better off not linking to this comment.
If you feel otherwise feel free to let me know why and I will reconsider.
1) That is almost certainly a joke. 2) No second-hand sources please. This index is for comments directly from Rich."And yet, will we ever come to an end of discussion and talk if we think we must always reply to replies? For replies come from those who either cannot understand what is said to them, or are so stubborn and contentious that they refuse to give in even if they do understand." - St. Augustine

It also explains what morally justified threads are, which could be helpful for new forum goers.

Re: The Index of the Giant's Comments
The strip makes it clear that Belkar, Thog, and Tarquin are evil, too, but people are always trying to excuse them--even to the point where the Giant mocked them in the comic itself.
Basically, there's a certain segment of the Playground which will perversely argue the most implausible points of view until (and sometimes after) the Giant explicitly tells them that they're wrong. Nothing that isn't explicit in the comic (nor many things that are) is obvious enough that confirmation by the Giant isn't appropriate.
