D&D Aangvanced (Avatar: The Last Airbender Screencap Comic)

[Shogo]

Yeah, but I remember Micah's thing being some kind of exploit he found in the rules. Not something involving mangled dice.

I mean, from the way it's being described . . . Well . . . I'd make that kid re-roll with some fresh dice. And if he mangled them again, count it as a critical fail of spectacular proportions.

And just for the sake of clarification, I was imagining stupidly "fancy" dice or novelty dice or whatever you'd want to call it when I said digital dice. Where someone decided for whatever reason that the faces of the die would be digital displays instead of the numbers being carved or painted on.

There's some goofy dice out there, and I was trying to figure out that, "He's changing the numbers!" thing. Or how someone could roll a -1.

[Chantelune]

I don't know if Manny will play with them or against them, it's weird. I would have said against them, but he seems to build a character, just as well as them. D'ont got it.

My guess for Manny is he'll play the character we never really know if it's a boy or a girl, can't remember their name now. >< Would fit him well enough and wouldn't need to be "paired" up with anybody.

And agreed that Lex will switch to meister, Shelby already told him she made a weapon for him and as he's the one who needs to redo a char, would be stupid to go with another weapon, making two in need of a non-existent master.

Also, in that regard, might work with him being Black Star, considering it's kind of a rush job, so kept it close to his usual goofyness. XD Frankly, would enjoy having Allie and Mac as Maka and Soul for this one. Maka would really be a good fit for Allie "did her homework" Doherty.

I guess the exploit is that the rules only state how the dice have to look when you roll them and that whatever the dice show goes, but nothing about changing numbers or that they have to stay in one piece when they land.
So he found a way to use One-for-All with his dice.
I guess actually mastering it leads to less wreckage.

Plus Ultra!

Also:
Believe in the heart of the dice.

A skilled roleplayer can influence what they roll.
A truly great roleplayer can even create the roll they need.

[aurilee]

Woh, my theory was right
Quick, Roy, do something!

I'm glad to have found out the reference.



Well, he builds a weapon first, but has to start over. Shelby has her own weapon finished, so if he want to team up with her, he has to do a meister in the end.
I think he'll change from his starting idea.


For now we have:
- Damien, with Rube and Nick as weapons
- Allie, with an entousiastic Mac as weapon
- Shelby as weapon

Lex will fill the gap to pair with Shelby.


I don't know if Manny will play with them or against them, it's weird. I would have said against them, but he seems to build a character, just as well as them. D'ont got it.

But he has some nerve. asking Damien for a drawing in the middle of the 20minutes creation, that's bold. Except if the only idea behind is to distract some of the group... It kinda works.



The crowed doesn't like Manny, it loves drama, and Manny around this group is a pretty good source of drama!

I'm thinking Manny might be Spirit, with Mary Weers taking Death as the DMPC.

EDIT:
Alright, so Allie is Maka and Mac is Soul.

That leaves Lexby to be Black Star and Tsubaki.

Also...Damien's got a pattern going here.

Zuko had a scar on the left side of his face.
Mako had a scarf that draped over his left shoulder.
And now he's got Kid, with the stripes on the left side of his head.

I think Damien's obsessed with asymmetry. :P

[Chantelune]

Woot ! Allie and Mac as Maka and Soul, that makes me happy.

I commented about this on Rastaba's comments. Basically I thought the d-infinity would work different and be centered around Micah's build for Deku but admitted that I didn't know myself and have to admit it's really awesome. Especially because Tom had the best reaction to it happening.

And having Finn inherit the ability would be really awesome!

[Kantaki]

New comic

So yeah. Lex plays Black★Star.
It fits him well I guess.
Like fist on eye.And just as painful.
And Manny plays the creepy person.
That too is very appropriate.

All right then let's get the party* started.

*read: Bloodbath¹

¹Only ingame of course.²

²I hope.

Looks like you were right on the money with that one! :)

Although I am a little disappointed Manny won't be Spirit. Obviously it makes sense for Manny to be an antagonist, but he would have made an amusing/creepy Spirit.

And I like Lex correcting Ms. Weers on the pronunciation of Black★Star. :P

(I'll make sure to always spell it right going forward, just for Lex!)

Yahoooo!

EDIT: Autocorrect changed Ms. Weers to Ms. Weeds. lol

[Kantaki]

New comic

Oh. Fun
I wouldn't play with that woman if I got paid for it.
No matter the amount.
Sure, there would be a point where I would sorely regret refusing the offer, but it wouldn't be worth it.

But Damien is great. Using a skateboard as a shield.
I bet he only to the glamoured shield so he could annoy his mother with that line.

Also, Mrs. Weers mispronounced Black★Star again.:smallamused.

[Shogo]

Getting paid to roll some dice? I'd happily do that. Even if this woman is clearly deranged.

Well . . . Hmm . . . Even if this is normal for her, the circumstances of this little throwdown do kind of justify cutting corners where things like story are concerned. It's a combat challenge. Not a proper game.

[DeadpanSal]

Another one just for you guys. With all this talk about the d-infinity, the question of "how did Finn learn it" should be addressed.

Reminds me of this

Wait. What?
Why is beating that encounter destroying the artwork?
Don't tell me the crazy woman would rip it up.

I mean from Damien's reaction I guess it isn't a copy and destroying an original piece of art that someone else has put effort in is... well, perfectly fitting her character. She's done worse.
It's still a pretty jerk move.

I guess that's psychological warfare?
Or it's actually part of the rules so people have to buy more of her stuff.

Of course Damien might just like this guys art that much and even ripping up a copy would upset him.

I think it's a combination of Damien admiring the artist, and also him trying to stay in character (he says as much)

Kid can't kill the monster because it's perfectly symmetrical.

Man. A universe where Wayne Reynolds is admired by RPG players, and where he does symmetrical art...biggest sign so far that they live in some kind of weird mirrorverse.

[Kantaki]

It seems Lex is doing his level best to really tick off the Witchqueen.
I approve of this goal.
Not that he has to do anything else than being himself.

Also, the Witchqueen disapproves Shelby's relationship with Lex.
Makes sense- he's basically her anti-thesis.
Of course the anthropomorphic representation of antifun can't grasp why someone would choose the company of a fun person.

[eschmenk]

Also, the Witchqueen disapproves Shelby's relationship with Lex.
Makes sense- he's basically her anti-thesis.

Or maybe she's trying to undermine their teamwork?

[JohanOfKitten]

Or maybe she's trying to undermine their teamwork?

Surely.

But it works both ways! If Shelby manages to protect long enough Lex, he can continue to be his fun and inapropriate (at least for M Weers) play style and hit a nerve on her so much that she'll start making mistakes.

[aurilee]

Two things here:

First - I love what this scene has turned into. That horse was amazing.

Second - I do hope Manny brings her a drink. If there's anyone that deserves one of Manny's "cocktails", it's her.

[Kantaki]

Well, who's stupid now Mrs Weers?

Team Lexby rocks.

I still get a „disappointed teacher” vibe from the Witchqueen's reaction to Shelby having Lex as a boyfriend.
As if she's really disappointed with her top student's* life-choices.

*Well, Shelby kinda is one considering how big she was in the- Weers approved -tournament scene.

I think Ms. Weers has just maxed out her disappointment in Damien, and now needs to put her disappointment somewhere else. Shelby was the most convenient choice.

Oh please, that woman has more than enough disappointment for the whole world twice over.

[Chantelune]

Eh, that was fun. Guess the trap was there was no trap. A classic in its own way. Also guess that psychological warfare aside, Mrs Weers feels a roleplayer of Shelby's legend deserve "better" than some goofball who actually has fun making and playing characters. Looking forward to next page and her reaction to the cunning attack from the duo. XD

[DeadpanSal]

The trap is, believe it or not, Lex is smarter than he looks. And with Shelby at his side, they can do anything!

Meanwhile, Mack and Allie...

[JohanOfKitten]

Mack and Allie have serious problems about working together. It won't end well.
With the Yaburu Muda thing, Mack must be already nervous and on the edge. If they can't team up, there'll be blood.

[Kantaki]

And Manny has joined the fray.
Someone give Allie some earplugs.

But I wonder who he's talking about.
Bonnie?
But aren't they on pretty good terms?
Or is this some new story?
Still, as curious as I am, I hope someone shuts him up. This is nothing but a attempt to disrupt the (sorely lacking) teamwork.

[eschmenk]

But aren't they on pretty good terms?

I had the impression that they patched things up, but that wouldn't stop Manny.

I'm hoping that he's laying some sort of trap for Mary Weers, but if so, he's not letting on.

[Chantelune]

Haaa, Manny... How I did NOT miss him. And yeah, Mack and Allie gets along like oil and water. Wonder if they're going to get along better over the course of this game or if that'll take longer for that. Either way, looking forward to it.

[Kantaki]

New comic

Manny could you kindly shut up before someone punches your face off?
For their sake, Not yours.
You deserve worse.

Also, Allie; Mac stop fooling around dancing to the jerk's strings and start showing your top game.
Fine, so this isn't your ideal match up, but you can still do better.

Seriously, I hope the two can turn this around so Manny finally stops talking.
And they get to keep their campaign of course.

[aurilee]

I'm starting to doubt my "Manny's really just Snape-ing and is on the gaang's side" theory more and more.

Here's hoping Fun Jim arrives to save the day (can you say, Reaper Chop? :P)
