Awesome!

'Why is it everyone can do my job?'

[Ceska]

*Sigh* I have way too much time on my hands.

Maybe, but that's also a good thing.

[Lyinginbedmon]

How am I supposed to compete with your output when I need that free time to be, well, free!

Seriously, between college, D&D plotting (I DM), driving lessons, and Christmas preparations, I have maybe enough time to do three or four Remember comics a week. I do two because it's good to have some time undedicated to anything.

Now really: Slow down or I'll make you an offer you can't refuse

[Undertaker798]

Slow down? It is blasphemous to even suggest such a thing!

[Bayar]

Lol, seems that lockpicks are old fashioned, just use kobolds instead!

and, yeah, slow it down, you have a big awesome/page ratio, some might get the "head explodey" syndrome due to too much awesomeness....

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Indeed! Double post!

(Nah, just kidding. Post as often as you wish, just beware of burnout. As long as you are enjoying making these, we will enjoy reading them. It's one of the highlights of my morning!)

[Threeshades]

'Why is it everyone can do my job?'

I can so totally feel with him. I've given up playing rogues because it's just frustrating that everyone else can do the same thing as you. They just need to involve some damage (either to themselves or to an object/person in their way).
Especially its no fun if the DM lets everyone have Trapfinding as a free feat just from watching the Rogue searching for traps.

[Marlock94]

Funny as ever. I love watching my brother play as a rogue in d&d when i play with him because he trys to find traps and stuff when there is like 8,000 traps, and i just like walk right through. XDXDXD.

*Sigh* I have way too much time on my hands.

For which the rest of us are truly grateful.

[hint]You could, once in a while, you know, make an ABR comic.[/hint] Man that was a lot of apostrophescommas.

A few of the big names in 3F are out on other projects at the moment. I'm out until Tajira doing Remember, Salmon is here with Failing Saves, Threeshades is doing play-by-post games I thinking.

It'll pass eventually, I'm sure, for now I think the little names in 3F should get off their butts and stop being so little

[Ichneumon]

I have no words all. No words left to praise you....

This comic is so good. I enjoy it more than I do with OotS now.

[boomwolf]

Only becuase it updates so fast, it will cool off later.

Rich's comics are better.

But its not saying anything bad on you salmon, the fact you are not that far behind means you are doing a wonderful job.

[Dihan]

I really enjoy reading these, they're all very witty. It's good to know that some good old British humour is being used to its fullest extent.

However, we wouldn't want the Salmon's stream to run dry now, would we?

[Bayar]

Dont worry, he can fly...he doesnt need water to live in

*Sniff* No, I know we're not as good as OOTS. I never expected or expect this comic to reach Rich's level.

Remember people, Undertaker798 writes the scripts. So all praise about witty jokes and what have you go to him. Thanks for all the comments

Okay, then "Wouldn't want the employer to become the customer"

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Actually, on a "comparative basis," you're slightly ahead of Rich. When Rich started OotS, he intended on it being a "Joke a Strip" comic, but later decided to go to a "Story Driven" comic. You two seem to have started with a story, and adopted the signature art style of Rich Burlew.

20 strips in, Rich was still "wandering about."

But in it's own way, this is what D&D is all about. The same (mostly the same) rules, entirely different stories. Rich's "players" (yes, I know there are no real players) are higher level, yours are lower. But low level characters can have just as exciting of adventures as higher level. First and second level characters chasing thieves from the local Thieves Guild by leaping from rooftop to rooftop are having as much fun as as high level characters exploring a demon infested temple.

It's the thrill of knowing that your (character's) life is on the line, that your enemy (DM) is as clever, if not more clever, than you are.

I agree to everything above except the quoted part.
The DM is not your enemy, the other players are not your enemy, the dice are not your enemy, the monsters are not your enemy. Your true enemy are the rulebooks !

[Dallas-Dakota]

The DM is not your enemy

Agree, unless my brother is the DM

the other players are not your enemy

Mostly, sometimes they are to annoying, I then somehow roleplay it into that I can attack them when that happens

the dice are not your enemy

I agree, they are not.

the monsters are not your enemy

No, you must cast mind control!(yeah, they are pretty much your enemy)

Your true enemy are the rulebooks !

Yup! Unless you write the books yourself, which Rich pretty much does, he just uses DnD as guidelines I think, which makes his comic o.O very awesome!!!!

Hmmm, Awesome comic...

Actually, AS, one issue is that OOTS is written by an american for an american audeince, whereas you're british writing from a british POV, so some of your nuances may not come across as well to an american audience. Th8s don't let an american tell you you're not as good as an american comic.

Also, you're just starting out. Go look at early OOTS strips and see how they've evolved over time, then give yourself some more.

[sheepofoblivion]

I love it, but I have one problem... Are you sure that bards can cast cure light wounds? (comic #1) (or is he multiclassing)

[Shades of Gray]

Bards can cast healing spells, as per the PHB.

For a "whistle noise" may I suggest "TWEEEEEEET!"?

[Lunaya]

I kinda wondered about that myself. I'm not very familiar with DnD, unfortunately. What's the PHB?

[Darke]

the Playa's player's handbook

heheheh, bards rock, he would have to be at least 2nd level.

[Undertaker798]

Bards get Cure Light Wounds at level 2. I've read that if your bard's charisma is good enough. They can be more effective healers than a cleric!

[Marlock94]

Awesome job Undertaker and Almighty Salmon! Sweet, I give perfectly good gold (mabye Platinum) Medals/Trophies to both of you!

[Almighty Salmon]

Cawwwmic 22! Quite a large one.
