How is it that Hel has NO worshipers

[Jasdoif]

So, how about that Hel?

Are we talking, like, how her diet's orthogonality from her treatment of followers has unsurprisingly resulted in general apathy towards creatures of the world? (You may ask, which diet: The current one where she gets souls for free, or the previous one where she gets worship for free? ANSWER: YES)

Is the money for nothing and the souls for free?

The money could be for something else, I suppose....Black gold, or Texas tea? Not that it was a particularly good Weird Al song, but a connection's there....

Bonus material from Don't Split the Party's digital edition establishes that Year 1 was the year when That Kingdom was founded in the Northern Lands. So the world is probably older than that.

Thank you, I don't have all the .PDFs yet.

They would make a good holiday gift to yourself (and Rich). The art is actually a little better than on the website.

I'd say it's significantly better, given that it's designed to be fully scalable. Plus, all the bonus comics and commentary easily make them worthwhile.

Vectorable. Scalars are different. I math good.

[Goblin_Priest]

Vectorable. Scalars are different. I math good.

I don't think I agree. "Vectorable" implies ability to transform into vectors. The art is already, as far as I'm aware, saved as vectors. "Scalable" comes from "able to scale", thus to be uniformily shrunk or enlarged, and not from "being a scalar".

I've googled "scalar art", and I couldn't find anything that looked even remotely relevant. "Vector art" brings me immediately to "Vector graphics", and the very common SVG extension, for "scalable vector graphic".

As in, you know, you can scale it as you like?

See, that joke is a vector!

Why are you so in-tensor on making a vector joke?

We plan on making a whole legion of them.

We'll have to watch out for a linear regression then.

Is that a first order regression?

No, this is not the pun you are looking for.

[Peelee]

No, this is not the pun you are looking for.

I honestly wasn't trying to force the puns in this direction.

[Fyraltari]

I guessed as much, but that's the first thin that sprang to my mind.

It's only logical, see: Knowledge is Power is Energy divided by Time and in turn Energy is Matter. Therefore all the Star Wars material you consumed (Knowledge) over your life (Time) turned you into a massive concentration of Star Wars MatterEnergy, a star wars black hole*, if you will, that will naturally attract any star Wars thought present in the mind of people you interact with to the surface.

So, it's all your fault, really.
Proudly stole most of that joke from the late Sir Pterry, GNU.


*Probably from the Maw.

I knew I should have capitalized the F there.You have failed me for the last time.

The reason Hel has no worshipers becomes clear. The world was created such that any attempt to start a Hel religion devolves into puns..... Helluva Job, Loki.

Well, that's a bit silly. It's not as sif it's an either thor deal here.

Now that I Loki closely, Thyr's the truth...

Fixed that for you.

And it makes sense. The dwarves wouldn't want to branch out. That's probably why they leaf hel alone. Their convictions are firmly rooted against her.

3) Their convictions are firmly rooted against her.

Given dwarven culture, I believe this tree puns wouldn't come to fruition...

True, but you gotta admit it's kind of sappy how they are so devoted to Thor

[D.One]

That's something everyone can seed...

All I'm saying is that

Vampires could have sucked away some followers (Malack Style)
A few Nuts could have fallen from Thors Tree (Elan Style)
Hel could have found the Wight way to keep a low level cleric alive (Hel Style)
A Crafty rogue (or Bard) could have UMDed his way to the priesthood (Unexplored)

But if Odin has seen why none of these really work, he sure hasn't explained it well enough....yet.

[D.One]

Hel could have found the Wight way to keep a low level cleric alive

Given the bet, that one would be a bit tricky...

Mostly dead?

[Rogar Demonblud]

Dead for tax purposes?
