    Default The Philosophy of Greyview the Warg

    Only certainty in life: When icy jaws of death come, you will not have had enough treats. Nod. Get Treat.

    I love it.

    May be Greyview could publish his philosophy. Then he get many treats.
    Ever wondered how many games are mentioned in the comic? I have listed them all in a geeklist: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/2...es-order-stick

    Nihilist warg is the best warg in the comic so far.

    Well, the tragedy is that he doesn't have thumbs, and therefore cannot produce his own treats, and will forever have to nod for them. Which is very much akin the human condition, when it comes to health, nice weather and a lot of other things.

    Until proven otherwise in Rich's comic, I believe it is actually, "worg." Tolkien's works use an "a" in the name. D&D uses an "o" in the name.

    Unless there has been a worg in the bonus strips in the books.

    It is indeed 'worg'. Look at panel 4.

    Is futile to argue.

    Nod. Get treat.

    I think that would probably be evidence that we're in a bizarre alternate universe.

    I believe "warg" with an 'a' is a Game of Thrones thing. D&D, Tolkien and Rich all use worg with an 'o'.

    No, warg is coser to the original norse spelling vargr. Make of that what you will, but it definitely predates GoT.

    Worgs have a WIS of 14. Above average common sense means that he keeps nodding to get more treats.

    Is worg actually ever used outside D&D? This feels like one of those tarasque > tarrasque things.

    True. I was unsure whether it was "Roy" or "Ray" right up until I read one of the printed books. In the font used in the comic back then, it's very hard to tell the difference.

    Nowadays, however... not so much.

    Or contemporary Swedish, "varg" meaning wolf.

    Does an abundance of treats mean we are more likely or less likely to encounter the icy jaws of death?
