    I watched SotD and Hot Fuzz but I had no idea there was a third film. I should check that out.

    Personally I think it's the weakest of the three, but it's still fun enough to be worth a watch.

    This is why I love these threads. I get all the references explained to me that I'd never have gotten otherwise.

    One day. One day. I'm going to play a dedicated healing character and not complain about it, just for variety among RP Gamers.

    In an actual RPG, though, not an MMO. MMO players are too dumb to keep alive, and I say this with tanking experience.

    Psshhh...Healing is what NPC party members are for! Or bards with scrolls!

    The only time I ever played anything close to a healer was a power-hungry cleric/mage who only prayed for healing spells because the leader of the party, who was a blackguard for the god my character worshipped, insisted upon it. He was kind of a jerk.

    It's kind of amazing that a player like Mac chose to make a healer. She should know better.

    My favorite healer was a friend of mine who played a cleric of Olidammara who kept invoices for all the healing you cost him, and charged you for his services. He didn't live that long, but at the end the DM talked about his final reward - going up into the heavens, reaching the astral beyond and . . . running into Olidammara. Who immediately said, "Now let's talk about those spells I gave you..."

    Also Mac didn't choose to be the healer. Manny just sprung that on her as a "bonus".

    I was going to say that it was weird they would let Damien GM a mini-campaign (or was that a one shot?) before deciding to ignore him for Zuko siding with Azula, but then I remembered that Rick was mocking him the whole time and deliberately sabotaged the campaign.

    Healers are fun to play in a group that knows how to RP properly, I've found. It's fun being respected. And valuable. And looking at the GM's face when he sees how much healing you can actually put out.

    I have a sudden urge to see Rick play a healing monster that exists just to make Manny angry.

    It'd probably go exactly this strip: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0077.html

    So Rube's totally lost it. Rick has quite the task ahead of him.

    I read it as a parody of daytime soap operas, but that's an equally likely interpretation.

    Damien was using the silly voice, which means that they were probably joking around.

    That being said, those four panels are some of the funniest webcomic material that I have ever read just for the perfect contrast with the source material that other screencap comics have tried and failed to execute properly. Props to the author.

    Probably, but I still kind of wish the campaign turned into "Rube is convinced he's the Chosen One and tries to take out his competition". But yeah, a great strip. Love the melodrama.

    Well, maybe Damien just thought they were joking? I could imagine Rube being delusional enough to think he is Combustion Man. "I will kill you with my mind!" seems pretty delusional to me.

    Okay "Bernie" is almost as good of a gag as Wang Fire just for sheer elegance in its simplicity.

    Also I'm wondering about Mac. She seems to have a lot of issues about dealing with female fantasy character stereotypes like being the heal-chick earlier, but it's gotten to the point where it's a problem that her character has to wear a dress? I wonder if that's leading anywhere.

    Yeah, I liked the pun, too.

    I guess Mac might play Katara pretending to be Aang's pregnant mother in an angry or sarcastic way, showing that Mac resents expectations, but I don't know if there is enough footage to do much with that. I wouldn't be surprised if it were skipped. The dance at the end of the episode could become a lesson from Rick to Mac that it's OK to be feminine. OTOH, I think it's more likely that Mac is so competitive it will be a dance-off. IDK.

    Just how would Mac react if Rick tried to talk to her about being feminine? I'm suddenly concerned.

    Speaking of Mac, I'm wondering now what Katara's hostility during her mission with Zuko is going to be reflected in for Mac. Mac herself has never been invested in Katara's character, so it's going to be something that infuriates Mac personally. Maybe it's having to work with Damien?

    I am trying to figure out the answer to the question in today's comic. First, this is using the 3.5 system correct? Wouldn't Ryu get to also roll thus meaning Ken's minimum to succeed would be dependent on that variable? Also isn't Bull's Strength a spell with somatic components and thus not usable in a grapple? (Unless she meant already cast on him, but why wouldn't that already be factored into his strength?)

    Rube seems a lot more relaxed now. Is he just trolling the others?

    And that lasted until #770. And I don't understand Ranavalona at all. Well, I guess it depends on which stories about Ranavalona I you believe. But, hey, Mac can roleplay!

    I don't understand. Rube hasn't appeared in the current session yet. The last time we saw him, he threatened to raze the entire world. Do you mean Manny? If so, no, I think he is actually trying to be kinder and gentler, but I expect that he'll go power-mad again eventually.

    I read the last week or so's updates together. And I took that threat as the two of them having fun overacting, given things like the Star Wars reference, and the strip title being 'Two More Idiots'

    Rube's probably a lot more relaxed now. He was ultra tense when he fought the party and came to Damien for help because he knew he wouldn't win. He even psychs himself up in #721 by reassuring himself "I can do this." Even though Rube has always felt like he's seen as a joke at the table, he won the big battle and now just plays side sessions with the guy who had his back.

    I think he deserves to relax for a while.

    I have problems understanding the intentions of the color changes of the character bubbles. I know there was a bonus comic on what the color changes are supposed to mean but I don't think they are strictly adhered to. Can anyone explain to me what the lighter and darker versions of each characters colors are supposed to mean?

    I think the best thing would be to just go with the depiction from the bonus comic.

    In the last few comics, everyone has been staying in their "normal" state, except for Manny, but it's obvious when he switches between NPC and DM modes. Lex's color might be lighter than normal and it might have lightened even more when he read what Mac said about him, but any differences were subtle and not very important, IMO. You could already tell that he's not in a good mood (which is what the light color means for him). Nothing seems to contradict the bonus comic, as far as I can tell.

    Mac's probably been reading either Rejected Disney Princesses or Badass of the Week. Or both, given who she plays.

    Prediction time - Majority of the current episode has Manny pulled away every time he's about to give Lex some growth, right up until the end where Pian Dao begins attacking Sokka, which is where Manny is back and in killer GM mode.
