Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
As a purveyor of service it’s not her job to assume what her consumer wants or doesn’t want. The glow is an unintended side-effect of her work, it’s her job to tell him what can be done about that. Whether something should be done is his decision to make, not hers.

Or maybe the issue is that it was glowing green and not blue. Azure City, remember.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
I just noticed that in comic #889, when the party breaks free from the phantasm, the chaotic members of the Order don't have much trouble adjusting to the leap, while Lawful Roy wakes up with a headache. That's pretty consistent with something that Girard would program into the phantasm.

Not so much never noticed as never made the connection, but:
In page #913 Tarquin starts off by offering Elan assistance, an assistance he rejects.
By the end of the page Nale, his other son, has made it clear that he does not want his assistance.
In other words, both his sons reject his assistance on the same page.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
And you didn't mention this explicitly, but part of the subtle hinting that confirms this is how Durkon emphasizes the word "somethin'", meaning that he's noticed that his memories are capable of influencing the vampire's -- since the vampire otherwise would have said "something" instead of "somethin'".
Tha's something' I din' notice 'til I read this strip tha third time.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
On strip #1044 Bandana mentions "Passage Pass", which is redundant because "Pass" and "Passage" mean the same thing. What I only noticed on the second read-through is that she mentions "Fissure Gap", which is exactly the same thing. In real life, people wouldn't name things redundantly like that. Except the River Avon, or the La Brea Tar Pits, or Table Mesa... okay, fine, I guess it only happens if you're in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Most names in Stickworld are like that. For example, the Wooden Forest. IIRC, the intent was to make Stickworld a paper-thin world such that it could reflect any sort of campaign or game.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
I can't believe this never occurred to me before, but in #1177, when Thor says of Durkon, "Now it's time for me to put my faith in you," he's addressing a stone statue which he knows can, itself, neither help nor hear him. The role reversal is more complete than I'd realized.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
In Strip #1139 (only in the book), there's a smaller fainter memorial that is in *front* of a larger one. Probably just a layering issue by Rich, but it's fun to think that maybe there was a world created on the side.
EDIT: Actually it does appear in the on-line strip too, now that I look closer:Last edited by onigame; 2020-03-21 at 02:15 PM.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
I'm not sure which one you're talking about. There's many instances of a small memorial in front of a larger one, and several in that clipping alone. We can conclude that memorials are different sizes.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
So, we know that Hel didn't get a vote before the current Godsmoot, which had an even number of votes. We also know that the demigods have voted in previous Godsmoots. Further, we know the demigods only vote in case of a tie. This probably means that gods can and have abstained in previous votes, either by explicitly voting Abstain or by not showing up at the Godsmoot. While it's possible that one high priest or another failed to make it to previous Godsmoots in time, that doesn't sound like the kind of thing that would happen often enough for people to be familiar with Dvalin's MO. If this reasoning is correct, the fact that no one abstained illustrates how serious this vote was.

Eh, probably just didn’t end in a tie back then.

It's probably a minor glitch with the site rework. I'm pretty sure they weren't like that before.

If building my last stormtrooper costume has taught me anything, it's that there are a billion shades of white, and absolutely none of them match the shade you need them to.

I just saw an amazing youtube video of an artist I like playing kazoo better than I knew kazoo could be played. Maybe Elan taking Perform (Kazoo) wouldn't be bad after all.

In 0196 Xykon says that the five adventures other than Serini built strongholds to protect the Gates. It seems he was unaware that Kraagor had died. It's perfectly possible he simply didn't read the corresponding part of the diary with enough attention, but it makes me wonder what else, possibly more important, he overlooked, and whether Red Cloak studied the diary with more vigilance.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
This is more of a "always bothers me when I read the comic" but the joke here about an animal companion being hung like a bear always distracts me because bears really aren't 'hung'. They are actually pretty tiny relative to their body size.
No I'm not certain why I know that particular fact so well that it's the first thing that comes to mind each time I read that strip, I feel like it's a line of questioning best not followed..
Also I now notice that he mentions he has to work to gain a level of Expert. I didn't know at the time, but the standard joke over on the Class and Level Geekery page is to presume everyone is an Expert; finally they get to actually classify someone as one.

Re: Things You Never Noticed VII: Wait, This Isnt the MitD Thread?
Not sure if you can say "never noticed" about the most recent comic, but someone pointed out in the discussion thread for 1199 that Mr. Scruffy is angry, so I went back to look at that a second time. And yet I didn't notice until my third reread today that he's not just making angry eyebrows, he's also meowing at Roy.

Belkar is playing with Mr. Scruffy in strip 379, foreshadowing(?) the fact that he ends up being his owner.
