Planar Madness!!! - (another) OOTS style comic

[memnarch]

Hehe. Like the teasing.

[Caracol]

Due to the overwhelming response to the last comic, I shall do a

Begging for attention check: [roll]1d20+2[/roll] (+2 for the emoticon)

Failed? Too bad... Anyway, for giving you a little more to talk about, I present you

A LOOK AT THE PLAYERS EQUIPMENT

Caracol's Spear

This returning +1 spear was given to Caracol by his father, once he started his journey to the Outlands, years ago. The spear has a long story, and had countless owners before ending in the Guild of Weavers armory, its manufacturing is unknown.
It's made of a strange matter, more like organic or stony than metallic. It doesn't have, however, any ability to overcome damage reductions.

Sthendal's Robes

Crafted in Toldoth, Sthendal's hometown, this robe is common among necromancers of that city, like a signature to recognize Toldoth's feared obscure casters.
Wen worn, the robe gives his wearer additional hit points, casting a falsed life spell, always active. The spell is cast at the wearer's arcane caster level: it has no effect on divine caster or non-spellcasters. The additional hps disappear as the robe is taken of.

Jorg's Axe and Crossbow

Both masterwork, the weapons that our dwarf rogue uses are not magical, but their dwarven manufacturing makes them hardy and powerful in the right hands.
The light crossbow usually have poisoned darts, and it's the dwarf main weapon. The axe is seldomly used by Jorg, he treats it with extreme care and draws it only if necessary.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Yeah, the teasing is a fairly commonplace fixture in my gaming circles. Nice usage and placement though. Statistically speaking Sthendal's positionon the roof is detrimental to his combat abilities (Because the longest distance across a box is a diagonal), but Caracol's is looking good. Sthendal appears to be flying though, which should give him a manouevrability benefit.

[Sampi]

Wohoo! I'm a commander! And I got shishkebob'd by Caracol!

[Abardam]

(Just another thing. Caracol isn't badass, he just had good rolls.)

yea whateva

[MrEdwardNigma]

Even though MrEdwardNigma didn't look anything like MrEdwardNigma, some of my his badassedness (is that a word? Well, it is now) seems to have stuck. Looks like he's the only character that's going to survive this mess (even though he has an arrow sticking out of him).

Bet you a dollar that the good guys, and Sthendal, also survive

New comic!
12#- Showdown at the Three Worlds End Inn, Part 2

Is someone keeping track of the death count?

We recently hit +5000 views, and I consider this as a good result and a incentive for me to keep on doing the comic. I would like to ask to the readers how to improve the comic, if it's possible.

What do you think about it, now that 12 strips have been posted? It has potential? It's boring? It's a ripoff? It's hopelessly bad?
What can I do to make it better?

I'm waiting for your suggestions and critics!

P.S. The thing that Sthendal mentioned in the last panel (pixie in a sack) is inspired by a ACTUAL IN-GAME EXPERIENCE. And was done by me (hey, I was a drow assassin at the time, so sue me)

[Lyinginbedmon]

Definitely worth continuing, you certainly have a pretty darn good fanbase around here

[TheCountAlucard]

"Ohuff?"

Anyway, yeah, it's a good comic, worth continuing with for sure.

[Abardam]

Sure. You should definitely continue it. I mean, you've not resolved any plots yet.

also why is the kobold saying 'Caution' who the heck says that

[Caracol]

Because that's the unedited version of the strip, I was waiting for Goats to correct it and choose better words, but he hasn't showed up on the forum for days...
A good word choice is difficult for me. Even the onomatopoeias are different in my language...

The plot will not resolved soon, but new characters and plotlines will be added in the incoming strips. I just needed to do some pure "hack and slash" strips.

[Green-Shirt Q]

I must say, this is probably the very best webcomic in the arts and crafts forum, now that Anti-Heroes has got it's own website.

Good job! Keep up the good work, eh!

[memnarch]

That's going to hurt...

[SoD]

Boo-yah! Now look who's giving the orders! But my monacle fell off...gah, can't waste a standard action to replace it!

What do you think about it, now that 12 strips have been posted?

Loving it more and more every strip, and not just because I'm in it.

It has potential?

Bucketloads.

It's boring?

Never!

It's a ripoff?

If it is, I don't know what of. And it's better than the original.

It's hopelessly bad?

Who said that? No, seriously, I knock 'is block off!

What can I do to make it better?

The only thing that I think could be improved (apart from more me ) is that every now and then the puncuation is a bit off. But that's easily fixed, and I know you're not a native speaker (although your english is almost flawless).

[Caracol]

(although your english is almost flawless).

Deng iou very mucche!

[memnarch]

Wait, English isn't your first language?

[samm81]

It's an AWESOME comic! Keep updating, I want to read more!

[Szilard]

What ever happened to that Guild of Weavers logo design contest?

[memnarch]

Still going, I assume.

[Goats_o_Mjolnir]

I really want to apologize to the fans and to Caracol, its just that Im in between jobs right now so its been difficult to browse without feeling guilty, I realize this is unfair to you and Im going to make a more concious effort to get things done on time

~Goats

[Caracol]

No problem pal. Work is work, and I understand. This comic should be something to do for fun, not a second work.

Whatever you can do will be gladly accepted. If you have time, of course! Otherwise, just take you time.

[DarkCloud]

Actually, I rather enjoyed the Kobold's method of speech... It's not a human character, so why should it speak like the other humans speak... usage of odd speech patterns can definitely give it an alien "monsterly" touch.

In general the series is enjoyable, as always though, the grammar and spelling isn't always 100%, but that is understandable.

[Caracol]

Hi everybody, no comic this week. Sorry, but I'm super busy and a special person is coming to visit me today. I won't have time to do the comic for half a week at least, but I promise that you'll have it ready for next Monday (maybe even before).

Please don't go away in the meanwhile!

[SoD]

I ain't goin' nowhere.

No need to appologise, real life is more important than your comic (or anyone elses comic).

Who's this special someone? You've aroused my curiosity...

[Lyinginbedmon]

Who's this special someone? You've aroused my curiosity...

It's possible they aroused his too

Yeah, I can wait, there's certainly not a shortage of webcomics to read in the meantime.

hey snail guy, thats a cool comic. So its not set in ? yes or no will suffice

What race is your avatar? Oh he's been polymorphed?? huh?

[Caracol]

OOOOOKKKK, lets get back to work! I'm working on next strip by now, so expect it in a couple of days.

For all the people who were curious about this special person, and what's my relationship with her, I give you an hint:



and she's redhead, too!!!
The last days were wonderful, but now I have to deal with exams and lessons, but I'll still work on the comic in the spare time.

hey snail guy, thats a cool comic. So its not set in ? yes or no will suffice

Thanks! Let's say it's set in a sort of homebrewed setting, but with all the planes descripted in the WotC Manual of Planes, with slight modifications. Further informations about the setting will come.

My original avatar (and character in the comic) is a genasi of fire. He's in snail version due to the incoming Inner Animal Week II, and to honor my slowness in comic updates.

[memnarch]

Yay! We're not dead yet!

[Beholder1995]

Great comic! Quite entertaining. It made me chuckle out loud quite a few times.... more times than OotS, sometimes.

EDIT::: The Eyes are now officially endorsing this comic. Go Caracol!

Unfortunately, due to Signature restrictions, The Eyes can no longer endorse Planar Madness. You still rock, though, Caracol.
